(HBO) - The State management over tourism in Hoa Binh remains inadequate due to lack of managers and qualified human resources for the sector.


The art troupe of Thai Binh ward (Hoa Binh city) was joined by tourists in a Xoe dance at the Muong Culture Space Museum.

 In order to develop tourism into a spearhead economic sector, the provincial Steering Committee for Tourism Development has set out specific tasks and solutions, of which an important one is developing human resources serving the sector. 

On the one hand, the province will build preferential mechanisms for attracting qualified human resources for the local tourism industry (with priority given to building a contingent of professional and competitive tourist workers), thus enhancing the sector’s competitiveness and attracting more tourists to the locality. On the other hand, the locality will focus on the training work, thus improving professional capacity and skills for staff in charge of State management of tourism at all levels, and the management capacity for units, enterprises, and business households involved in tourism.   

 Training will also be provided for persons who are working at tourism sites, hotels, restaurants. Attention will be given to training local labourers for service jobs at tourism sites, in hospitality establishments and in transporting visitors, especially in the Hoa Binh Lake national tourism area and Mai Chau district. The province will promote social investment, especially cooperation and involvement of enterprises and organisations, in human resource training for tourism.

 These orientations have been concretised into specific action programmes, under which more training courses in tourism skills were held in 2017.

 Mr. Lo Cao Nhum, who runs a household tourism business in Lac village, Chieng Chau commune in Mai Chau district, said in July 2017, the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism organised a five-day training course on homestay tourism for business households in the district. At the course, lecturers from the Hanoi Tourism College provided learners with basic skills in serving tourists at homestay accommodations; in communicating and handling various situations arising in the process of serving visitors; as well as in ensuring security, safety, and food hygiene.

 "The course helped us run our business in a more professional and effective manner”, he stressed, adding that almost kids in the locality can now use English to communicate with foreign tourists. /.
