(HBO) – Local people in the mountainous commune of Van Son in Tan Lac district of Hoa Binh province for the last few years have developed tourism activities to improve their incomes besides traditional farming.
Improved roads in Ngo Luong commune, Tan Lac district, help boost local socio-economic development.
As the provincial Party Committee and People’s Committee
approved a resolution and programme on tourism development in mountainous
communes, residents are excited about the support that they will get to develop
community-based tourism models, and sustainable tourism, and increase their
incomes.
As one of the four ancient Muong regions and the cradle of the famous Hoa Binh
culture, the unique culture and peaceful landscape of Tan Lac district – former
known as Muong Bi - is an important resource to help the district develop
sustainable tourism.
Besides tourism, the district's authorities last year concretised the
resolutions of the Party Central Committee and the province, and issued
resolutions, schemes, plans, and action programmes to comprehensively implement
tasks in building the Party and political system.
Specifically, the district issued resolutions and directives on agricultural
and rural development, restructuring crops and livestock, attracting
investment, and supporting investors.
Production areas were planned associated with the new-style rural area, for
example, vegetable/fruit growing areas are developed in highland communes,
aquaculture growing areas in Suoi Hoa commune, pomelo-growing areas in communes
along road 12B, and urban areas in Man Duc town and Phong Phu commune.
In 2022, the district fulfilled or exceeded 14 out of 16 socio-economic goals
and saw total social investment of 2.54 trillion VND, and income per capital
reached 35.5 million VND.
In 2022, red-fleshed pomelo grown in Tan Lac district was first exported to the
UK, opening up opportunities to build a commodity production area linked to the
consumption market.Up to now, the district has 240 hectares of
red-fleshed pomelo meeting VietGap and organic farming standards.
The district is home to "Khai ha" (Summer opening) festival which was
recognised as a national cultural heritage. Meanwhile, Mo Muong is being
proposed for recognition as intangible cultural heritage of humanity. This is a
great potential and advantage for the district to develop tourism.
The district actively directed land clearance work for tourism projects.
Dinh Anh Tuan, Secretary of the Tan Lac District Party Committee, said that the
district is comprehensively implementing the Party and political system
building work, upholding the role of cadres and party members in performing
political tasks, strengthening land management, site clearance, and removing
difficulties for investment projects.
The district has also paid much attention to implementing solutions to preserve
and develop Muong Bi culture in association with building a new countryside,
improving the quality of people's lives./.
With the motto of "polite, dedicated, professional, and lawful,” over the years, Phu Cuong commune in Tan Lac district has gradually improved the quality of processing administrative procedures, winning high satisfaction from local people and businesses.
Stretching over 300 meters, valued at hundreds of million dong and built to the new-style rural standards, a concrete road in De hamlet, Bac Phong commune, Cao Phong district, was completed by the end of 2023 thanks to the collective contributions of armed forces at provincial and district levels coupled with the active participation of military units stationed throughout the district.
Over the years, the People’s Committee of Lac Thuy district has issued many plans and programmes to speed up the administrative reform, aiming to better serve local people and businesses.
Kim Boi district is drafting 23 planning projects which are expected to help boost the local socio-economic development, attract investors, and mobilise resources for development, said Vice chairman of the district People’s Committee Tran Tuan Son.
They include the one on Bo urban area development until 2045, 20 zoning, and 12 on rural residential areas in communes.
This year, Hoa Binh province strives to have eight communes recognised as meeting new-style rural area standards and five communes satisfying exemplary new-style rural area standards. Since the beginning of the year, the provincial People's Committee has drastically directed the implementation of the national target programme on new-style rural area building to fulfil the set target.
Cao Phong district achieved positive socio-economic development results last year as drastic comprehensive measures were implemented with high determination of its whole political system, said the Secretary of the district Party Committee Ha Van Di.
