The smart tourism software of Hoa Binh province forms part of the package of smart urban solutions, which optimises information and communications technologies to form a tourism ecosystem and offer benefits to tourists, authorities and businesses. It has facilitated the building of a high-quality tourism industry, contributing to local sustainable economic development.
Over the past time, Da Bac district has
promoted tourism in the Da River area through websites.
Since late 2021, tourist attractions in Mai Chau
district have been included on the electronic map. By simply scanning 2D and 3D
images, tourists can access information about the destinations.
Ha Thi Lieu, deputy head of the Mai Chau district
Bureau of Culture and Sports, said over the past time, the locality has made
progress in attracting tourism investment with projects worth hundreds of
Vietnam dong.
Besides, seven community-based tourism
destinations and a number of high-end resorts have been put into operation,
contributing to economic restructuring, and creating jobs, and increasing
income for locals, she added.
To promote its tourism products, the district
has selected 26 relics and tourist attractions for the "digital"
tourism map. Over the past time, Hoa Binh province has paid
attention to building the smart tourism system, which comprises a portal, a
mobile application, data integration infrastructure, and a tourism industry
reporting system.
To serve it, public wifi services are offered at
Hoa Binh Lake, Mai Chau, and Tien Pagoda tourist sites. Via the website at http// hoabinhtourism.vn,
visitors can learn about the unique culture, scenery and people of Hoa Binh,
and book hotels and restaurants, among other services. It also serves as a channel for enterprises to
introduce their promotion programmes, and as a tool for state management over
natural resources and tourism activities.
Deputy Director of the provincial Department of
Culture, Sports and Tourism Luu Huy Linh said the software has helped
facilitate local tourism, and promote digital transformation in the field,
towards turning it into an economic spearhead.
