Nguyen Van Chuong speaks at the working session.
Vice Chairman of the Hoa
Binh provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Chuong said in 2016, the Prime
Minister approved the planning of the Hoa Binh Lake national tourism site,
which is a big opportunity for the province of develop tourism. Hoa Binh
province boasts huge tourism potential, but the development of this sector
remains modest. Meanwhile, Quang Ninh has done a good job of managing Ha Long
Bay. Hence, Hoa Binh wants to learn Quang Ninh’s experience in issuing Ha Long
Bay management mechanisms.
Vice Chairman of the Quang Ninh provincial
People’s Committee Le Quang Tung and other officials briefed their guests about
the management, conservation and promotion of the values of world natural
heritage Ha Long Bay, as well as the tasks, functions and power of the Ha Long
Bay Management Board.
Over the last years, with the provincial
authorities’ drastic direction and the engagement of local sectors, agencies
and localities, the management, conservation and promotion of Ha Long Bay’s
values have been made in an increasingly effective manner. While the bay
management mechanisms have been fine-tuned, resources have been allocated for scientific
research on Ha Long Bay. The province has also worked to transfer the state
management of Ha Long Bay from the Ha Long Bay Management Board to the People’s
Committee of Ha Long city.
Quang Ninh officials said they have enhanced the
management of tourism boats, reformed the management of sightseeing tickets to
prevent losses, and upgraded infrastructure at tourist attractions and
accommodation facilities. The province has also diversified tourism promotion
methods, ensured environmental hygiene at places of interest, and paid
attention to developing new tourism products.
For their part, Hoa Binh officials also informed
about local tourism development and the Hoa Binh Lake tourism site. They highly
valued Quang Ninh’s tourism management, especially of Ha Long Bay.
At the working session, they discussed the
management and bringing into play of Ha Long Bay’s values, tourism planning and
investment attraction, along with organisation and management of culture and
tourism villages. Hoa Binh officials said this is precious experience for their
province to develop the Hoa Binh Lake tourism site in the time ahead
Over recent years, the Farmers' Union of Mai Chau district has implemented numerous specific programmes and activities to support its members in developing products under the One Commune One (OCOP) programme. These efforts have contributed to enhancing local agricultural branding, increasing goods value, and improving incomes and living standards for residents.
Since 2022, the Hoa Binh Department of Education and Training has provided advice for the provincial People's Committee to issue Plan No. 219/KH-UBND on November 17, 2022, which outlines the implementation of a project titled "Enhancing the application of Information Technology (IT) and Digital Transformation in Education and Training for the 2022–2025 period, with a vision to 2030.” As of now, the local education sector has made significant progress in IT adoption and digital transformation.
Hoa Binh allocated over 30 trillion VND (nearly 1.18 billion USD) to develop infrastructure systems in ethnic minority and mountainous areas during 2019 - 2024. Priority was given to transport and irrigation infrastructure; markets; schools; medical stations; communal houses; and power grid, telecommunication, radio, and television systems.
The Hoa Binh provincial organising committee for anniversary activities on December 17 held a ceremony to unveil a ceramic mural on the local military-civilian ties and release a book on the Party and political work of the provincial armed forces during 1947 – 2024, in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) and 35th anniversary of the All-People Defence Festival.
In recent years, Hoa Binh has allocated significant resources to foster cooperative economy, helping ethnic minorities capitalise on their potential and advantages to escape poverty.
As a mountainous district still facing numerous challenges, Da Bac has made notable progress in advancing administrative reforms across various areas. The district has prioritised reorganising and streamlining its administrative apparatus, operating "one-stop-shop” units, and applying information technology (IT) in the handling of administrative procedures. Efforts have also been directed toward upgrading infrastructure and equipment to enhance service quality for residents and businesses.
