Nearly 70% of tourism industry human resources in Nghe An only receive primary training.

The question and answer session on solutions to develop Nghe An tourism into a spearhead economic sector in the spirit of Resolution No. 39-NQ/TW dated July 18, 2023 of the Politburo on building and developing Nghe An province to 2030, with a vision to 2045; along with the answer of the Director of the Department of Tourism, the meeting chairman requested leaders of a number of departments and branches to answer a number of contents within their functions and management to promote tourism development in the province.

Review, inventory, classify and rank ancient stilt houses

Responding to the question of delegate Luc Thi Lien (constituency in Con Cuong district) about solutions to exploit and promote the rich cultural traditions, relics and heritages in the province, Director of the Department of Culture and Sports Tran Thi My Hanh said: Of the 7 types of tourism, cultural - historical and spiritual tourism is an important type.

Nghe An has a large system of relics and scenic spots with a total of 2,062 inventoried relics; of which 480 relics have been ranked, including 6 special national relics; 145 national relics and 329 provincial relics.

However, the Director of the Department of Culture and Sports admitted that the exploitation and development of this type of tourism is not commensurate with its potential and the biggest difficulty is the lack of resources. To solve this problem, the industry has built and focused on implementing 7 heritage areas with unique products; in addition to the Sen Village Festival and the Nghe Tinh Vi and Giam Folk Song Festival, it continues to exploit heritages related to the Nghe Tinh Soviet...

Along with that is the interest in developing spiritual tourism, because in the province, relics and heritages with spiritual elements account for about 95%, including outstanding relics such as Emperor Quang Trung Temple, Ong Hoang Muoi Temple, Con Temple, Bach Ma Temple...

The Director of the Department of Culture and Sports also answered questions from delegate Que Thi Tram Ngoc (constituency in Quy Chau district) about solutions to preserve and exploit cultural identities, especially the traditional stilt house culture of ethnic minorities.

Accordingly, in recent times, the industry has coordinated with local authorities to implement solutions, in which districts have developed projects to preserve and promote traditional cultural values ​​and spaces associated with tourism development through community tourism models.

In the coming time, the industry will continue to review, inventory, and classify ancient stilt houses for consideration and ranking according to the Heritage Law to preserve and promote the heritage effectively, serving tourism development. Along with the responsibility of the Department of Culture and Sports, the Director of the Department also suggested the need to digitize the stilt house architecture so that when conditions permit, they can be restored, creating conditions for tourism development.

Promote the development of unique tourism products

Some provincial People's Council delegates also raised questions related to the development of gift and souvenir products typical of Nghe An.

Responding to the issue raised by the delegates, Director of the Department of Industry and Trade Pham Van Hoa informed: Implementing the Project on developing souvenir products and goods to serve tourists in the province, period 2019-2025, the whole province currently has over 600 products and goods to serve as gifts and souvenirs and organizes 6 booths to display and introduce products.

The Director of the Department of Industry and Trade admitted that although the quantity of goods is large, diverse and rich in types and grades; there are not many products with scientific and technological content, cultural and historical value, especially there are no typical products of Nghe An.

The solution to overcome this situation is to continue reviewing to have a policy mechanism; because souvenir products and gifts belong to a special group of goods, so there must be special methods, ways and mechanisms to promote them. Along with that, it is necessary to pay attention to promoting the creativity of the whole society, taking advantage of the participation and contribution of artisans inside and outside the province.

Gần 70% nguồn nhân lực du lịch chỉ được đào tạo sơ cấp

Trả lời câu hỏi chất vấn của đại biểu Phan Thị Minh Lý (đơn vị bầu cử huyện Yên Thành) về tình trạng thiếu và yếu về nguồn lực du lịch, Phó Giám đốc Sở Lao động - Thương binh và Xã hội Bùi Văn Hưng thừa nhận đây là thực tế đang diễn ra.

Nguyên nhân do dịch Covid-19 làm biến động cơ cấu lao động, trong đó có lĩnh vực du lịch; hoạt động du lịch là lĩnh vực lao động không thường xuyên, ảnh hưởng đến việc thu hút nguồn nhân lực gắn bó.

Bên cạnh đó, nhân lực tham gia đào tạo du lịch thời gian qua trên địa bàn tỉnh khá lớn, giai đoạn 2021 – 2023 là tổng hơn 8.100, tuy nhiên chất lượng đào tạo còn hạn chế, trong tổng số được đào tạo có gần 70% người được đào tạo sơ cấp 3 tháng. Sự gắn kết giữa cơ sở kinh doanh du lịch với Trung tâm Xúc tiến việc làm và cơ sở đào tạo còn hạn chế.

Về giải pháp, Phó Giám đốc Sở Lao động - Thương binh và Xã hội nhấn mạnh việc tiếp tục nâng cao công tác tuyên truyền, gắn với định hướng nghề nghiệp cho người lao động; xây dựng kế hoạch đào tạo nghề đáp ứng số lượng và chất lượng.

Đối với các cơ sở kinh doanh du lịch, nhất là các cơ sở lưu trú cần tăng cường phối hợp, thay đổi tư duy trong đào tạo, tuyển dụng nguồn nhân lực du lịch chất lượng, đáp ứng yêu cầu nâng cao chất lượng sản phẩm du lịch.
