The Hoa Binh provincial Tourism Steering Committee held a conference on January 25 to outline tourism development tasks for 2024, under the chair of Vice Chairman of the provincial People's Committee Nguyen Van Toan.
Vice Chairman of the provincial People's
Committee Nguyen Van Toan speaks at the event.
Last
year, the committtee directed its member departments to successfully accomplish
the assigned tasks according to the plan, resulting in more effective State
management, more focus on planning and investment in tourism infrastructure,
joint promotion and development of tourism, improved quality of products and
services toward a professional approach that is closely linked with cultural
and value preservation, ensuring national defence-security, order and safety
for visitors. Consequently, there was a positive growth in tourist arrivals for
sightseeing and resort stay, along with a notable increase in total revenue,
contributing significantly to socio-economic development.
For
the current year, the province has set a target of welcoming 4.2 million
tourists, including 500,000 foreigners, with an expected total revenue of 4.6
trillion VND (191.6 million USD). To build on the accomplishments and fix the shortcomings of
the previous year, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen
Van Toan urged members of the steering committee to effectively perform major
tasks and implement tourism development plans. This involves alignment with the
broader trajectory of Vietnam's tourism development, adherence to the
Government's Resolution No. 82/NQ-CP outlining key tasks and solutions to
expedite efficient, sustainable tourism recovery and development; and
especially the provincial master plan for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision
to 2050. Attention should be given to investment in tourism-related
infrastructure and technical facilities while relevant departments should
develop new tourism products to leave a lasting impression on visitors.
