Every year, Nam Dan welcomes millions of people from home and abroad.pilgrimage to visit relics. It is a joy, a pride, and at the same time an opportunity. However, those who are interested in tourism development probably cannot help but be "impatient" with the daily statistics.

As many visitors come, so many leave. The journey to Kim Lien is still just the maternal hometown of Hoang Tru, the paternal hometown of Lang Sen, a few stops or small-scale shopping for products are certainly not enough to attract tourists. There have been many opinions from development strategists that the tourism resources here are mainly in potential strength, which is frankly a waste.

Of course, the fault never lies with the customers. We have not created a reason for people to stay. We know there is a lack, but what is lacking and where to start to fix it has been a "hanging" question for many years. It is undeniable that there are changes every day in the "common homeland". The roads are spacious, the villages are clean, and the number of welfare projects is increasing. The construction of new rural areas here is changing day by day. Pilgrims have also started to find places likeChung Son Temple,Dai Tue Pagoda, watching the immense lotus fields, enjoying the specialties of Nam Dan. It is impossible not to acknowledge but that alone is not enough, not commensurate with the advantages and eternal values ​​of the homeland of leader Ho Chi Minh.

Nam Dan needs to turn special advantages into special potentials, and special potentials into special achievements.

We talk a lot about breakthroughs, but every time we touch on breakthroughs, we encounter inertia. Breakthrough is still an easy-to-forget word in the resolution. The Nam Dan District Party Congress for the 2020-2025 term identified 3 breakthroughs, focusing on developing infrastructure associated with attracting investment, effectively using all resources in society to create breakthroughs in building a synchronous and modern socio-economic infrastructure system. The focus is on developing connecting traffic infrastructure, urban infrastructure, cultural and tourism infrastructure. The resolution is clear. Developing Uncle Ho's hometown into a model place, a destination in every journey is not only the aspiration and duty of the people of Nam Dan but also of the people of the whole country.

Nam Dan lacks big boosts to create special highlights, Nam Dan needs that and deserves that. It is known that the Provincial Party Standing Committee has approved the investment policy for the Cultural Tourism Project of the "Special National Monument Site of President Ho Chi Minh Memorial Site", and also considered the idea of ​​building9-storey waterfall project at Hoang Thi Loan's tombThe first project will be implemented in Kim Lien commune, on an area of ​​435,677m², including green landscape area; commercial service area land; cultural center land; tourism service area land; experimental area land, agricultural conservation, public traffic...

The second project is a 9-storey waterfall built at Tranh cave mountain, in Dai Hue range. A project highly appreciated by experts for its significance and aesthetic value. This is a project proposed by T&T Group, which has just been submitted by the competent authority for approval for T&T Group to invest in construction. It is a project within the Planning for conservation, restoration and promotion of the value of the special National Monument of President Ho Chi Minh Memorial Site in Kim Lien commune, Nam Dan district, approved by the Prime Minister in Decision No. 1943/QD-TTg dated November 27, 2020.

Our tourism has strengths but lacks highlights. For a long time, we have had plans but not only lacked vision and skills, but also lacked and were weak in attracting and promoting investment in tourism development... Therefore, the proposal of T&T Group to invest in a number of items considered highlights in the project under the Planning for conservation, restoration and promotion of the value of the special National Monument of President Ho Chi Minh Memorial Site in Kim Lien commune, Nam Dan district, approved by the Prime Minister in Decision No. 1943/QD-TTg dated November 27, 2020, is one of the clear manifestations of the positive results in promoting and attracting investment in tourism development in Nghe An for the long-term goal.

We believe that in the future, the correct policies with strategic vision that the Provincial Party Committee has just approved, and the above mentioned key projects will contribute to awakening the potential to make Uncle Ho's homeland more and more prosperous. That is both a practical realization of Uncle Ho's constant wishes, and also a realization of the aspirations and expectations of people from all regions towards the "common homeland".
