Currently, the province has 786 intangible cultural heritages, more than 18,000 items related to the Hoa Binh Civilisation. Hoa Binh has made great efforts to restore and develop traditional values, contributing to improving the material and spiritual life of locals, he said.
Long underscored that Hoa Binh has high potential for the development of eco-tourism, resort tourism, cultural tourism and spiritual tourism. With an aim to turn tourism into a spearhead sector, and become a major tourism centre of the northern midland and mountainous region, Hoa Binh has focused on developing many tourist destinations and areas, especially the Hoa Binh Lake tourist area, one of the 12 national tourist areas in the region.
The provincial leader said that the province has offered special incentives to investors in localities with extremely difficult situation, including the exemption of corporate income tax in the first four years and reduction of the tax by 50% in the following nine years, along with exemption in land use and import taxes.
The province is calling for investment in high-tech agriculture, manufacturing and processing of agricultural products and food; the development of supply chains and goods selling; and the construction of national tourism areas and destinations as well as the connection of tours, he said.
He pledged that the province will work hard to speed up the process of investment procedures, saving times for investors.
Hoa Binh is keeping its door open for domestic and foreign investors, especially in high-tech agriculture, manufacturing-processing, trade, service and tourism, he stressed, vowing to create optimal conditions for them to successfully implementing their projects and developing sustainably, with a motto of "the local administration always accompanies investors during their development.”/.
