Nguyen Van Toan, the Standing Vice Chairman of the provincial People's Committee, delivers a concluding speech at the meeting.
Since the beginning of this year, departments and localities have combined the implementation of the project with the performance of their key tasks. Tan Lac district has focused on carrying out the model "Community-based tourism associated with the cultural identity of the Muong ethnic group in Van Son commune.” The provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has directed the development of an eco-tourism and entertainment project in the special-use forest of the Ngoc Son - Ngo Luong Nature Reserve for the 2021-2030 period, which will be submitted to the provincial People's Committee for approval as a foundation for attracting investors, creating a mechanism for embellishing relic sites in the nature reserve area.
The Department of Industry and Trade has carried out a project to upgrade the power grid system in remote and extremely difficult areas in Tan Lac district.
Delegates at the meeting discussed the difficulties and shortcomings in realising targets set in Resolution No. 13-NQ/TU by 2025. The deterioration of traffic roads connecting upland communes, unstable telecommunications infrastructure and obstacles to environmental sanitation and waste treatment were also touched upon.
In his concluding speech, Toan underscored the need to prioritise resources for the project "Building upland communes of Tan Lac district into provincial-level tourist areas by 2030, with a vision to 2050". Relevant departments and sectors should strengthen coordination with Tan Lac district to remove difficulties, ensuring the progress of sub-projects and models, he continued. Attention should be paid to the implementation of the eco-tourism and entertainment project in the special-use forest of the Ngoc Son - Ngo Luong Nature Reserve for 2021-2030 as well as to upgrading degraded roads and building special tourism products, including those under One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme.
It is necessary for Tan Lac district to propose the provincial People's Committee speed up the project’s progress to meet the set target, he said, adding that land fund and land use planning for tourism development projects in the upland communes of Tan Lac district should be reviewed. Dissemination campaigns should be launched to raise public awareness of environmental sanitation, protecting resources and landscapes in tourist areas and spots.
