Mai Chau is a mountainous district designated as one of the key localities for tourism development in Hoa Binh province. It has reportedly carried out all-round measures for building the Party and political system and performing socio-economic development tasks, thereby obtaining positive results.

So far, seven communes in the district (equivalent to 46.67%) have been recognised as new-style rural areas, with each meeting 16.13 of the 19 criteria on average. Up to 50.3% of the planned public investment has been disbursed and 35.9 billion VND (over 1.5 million USD) collected for the State budget (54.06% of the target).

Many measures have also been implemented to develop tourism in connection with new-style rural area building. Since the start of 2022, Mai Chau has welcomed 291,000 tourist arrivals and earned more than 332 billion VND in revenue, rising 23,000 arrivals and 110 billion VND from the same period last year.

At the meeting, officials of the district proposed provincial authorities continue paying attention to the implementation of Project No 09-DA-TU, resources for the Mai Chau township development programme by 2030 and the planning of the Mai Chau district region by 2045, and funding for infrastructure construction.

Highly valuing the district’s achievements, Long asked Mai Chau to continue giving heed to the Party building, the corruption combat, and the mass mobilisation work while grasping cadres and Party members’ opinions to promote consensus on the implementation of political and defence - security tasks.

In terms of tourism development, it needs to protect natural landscapes, the environment, and cultural identities of ethnic groups; attract resources for developing infrastructure, especially transport facilities linking tourist attractions; tap into local festivals, craft villages, and community-based tourism to boost cultural tourism; and develop high-quality tourism products to better meet domestic and foreign visitors’ demand, he noted.

In Mai Chau district, the Secretary also made a fact-finding tour of some local tourist sites.
