(HBO) – The management, conservation and development of cultural and historical relic sites in Hoa Binh province have become an important task contributing to the socio-economic development.

  

Khoi communal house in An Nghia commune (Lac Son district) was renovated in 2019.

Statistics of the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism showed that the province is home to more than 200 relic sites named in the list of those in need of protection. Of them, there are 41 ones at national level and 60 at provincial level.

Deputy Director of the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism Luu Huy Linh said the department has asked the province’s museum to work with localities to review relic sites that have yet to be included in the list.

The department provided the Hoa Binh People’s Committee with consultations regarding the issuance of regulations on cultural heritage value conversation and development; and popularised legal documents on the management, renovation and conservation of relic sites and tourist destinations.

It joined hands with the Department of Education and Training in rolling out a plan which introduces local history to students through the province’s cultural heritage sites, and organised activities to disseminate history and cultural values at the relic sites.

At present, relevant agencies are asked to bolster research, survey and evaluation of cultural heritages' conditions as well as efforts in renovation, management and development of historical-cultural relic and tourist sites.

They are also required to efficiently collect and maintain documents and exhibits, handle pollution at the sites and call for social sources in the conservation and development of the relic sites, together with raising public awareness of relic conservation and building of a civilised lifestyle.

My friends and I often travel to the province’s relic sites on holidays. I hope relevant agencies will continue to pay heed to the renovation of the sites and repair roads leading to them in order to facilitate transport.
