(Baonghean.vn) - Western Nghe An continues to receive attention in tourism development orientation with programs and projects to generate income and improve living standards for people in the spirit of Resolution No. 39 of the Politburo on building and developing the province to 2030, with a vision to 2045.

Potential

Western Nghe Anhas quite diverse tourism resources. Regarding natural resources, there are Pu Mat, Pu Huong, Pu Hoat primeval forests, Puxailaileng peak (2,720 m) which is the "roof" of Nghe An, and beautiful and attractive waterfalls...

Besides the potentials bestowed by nature, the highlands of Western Nghe An can also exploit tourism development from cultural elements rich in identity of the Thai, Tho, Mong, Kho Mu ethnic groups...

In the orientation of tourism development in the Western region of Nghe An, we will develop types of eco-tourism, discovery, experience; community tourism, and agricultural tourism.

In recent times, the tourism industry has conducted surveys and developed tourism products, including the adventure tourism product "Conquering Puxailaileng Peak"; eco-tourism experience from Pha Lai Dam to Co Phat Village (Con Cuong); caravan tour "Discovering the Western Nghe An route"; surveying, building and developing eco-tourism products at Pu Mat National Park, especially building and developing community tourism spots.

In particular, two types of ecotourism and community tourism have developed strongly, creating the brand of Western Nghe An. Destinations such as Pha Lai Ecotourism Area, Khe Kem Waterfall, Pu Mat National Park (Con Cuong), Sang Le Forest (Tuong Duong), 7-storey waterfall complex (Que Phong) and villages such as Hoa Tien Village (Quy Chau), Nua Village, Khe Ran (Con Cuong) or Muong Long (Ky Son) ... have become familiar to many domestic and foreign tourists.

In addition to ecotourism and community tourism, Western Nghe An has added a type of agricultural tourism. These are destinations in the red soil of Nghia Dan such as Phu Quy Flower Valley, Truong Gia Farm (Nghia Long) and Hon Mat Tourist Area (Nghia Loc); Thanh Chuong district has HDT Ecotourism Area, Thanh An Tea Island...

Aiming to diversify products to attract visitors, Nghe An Tourism is developing and perfecting two adventure tourism products: "Kayaking - trekking - mountain biking from Pha Lai dam (Xieng village) to Co Phat village (Mon Son commune - Con Cuong)" and "Conquering Puxailaileng peak" (Na Ngoi commune - Ky Son).

Direction

Identifying difficulties in developing tourism in the West: The distance between tourist destinations in the districts is far apart, tourism infrastructure does not meet actual needs, there is a lack of trained labor, culture in some places is fading... so Nghe An Tourism Department has implemented a number of solutions to promote the tourism potential of this area.

Mobilize resources to invest in building tourism infrastructure, prioritizing traffic infrastructure connecting national highways to tourist attractions. Call on large enterprises to invest in tourism projects (resorts, experience areas, etc.) on National Highway 7A and National Highway 48 to create tourist attractions, thereby spreading throughout the region.

Pay attention to the work of preserving and promoting the cultural identity of ethnic minorities, thereby forming more diverse community tourism products. Focus on training and fostering tourism human resources, including people participating in tourism activities. Strengthen propaganda and promotion work, welcome Farmtrip delegations to survey and develop tourism programs connecting destinations in Western Nghe An in particular and tourist destinations in the province in general.

Promote the exploitation of international tourism routes through Nam Can Border Gate (Ky Son) to connect from Laos through the border gate to the western localities of Nghe An.

Implementing Resolution No. 39 NQ/TW of the Politburo on building and developing Nghe An province to 2030, with a vision to 2045, the tourism industry is continuing to promote tourism activities in the Western districts. Based on available potential, the industry will exploit resources, develop new types of tourism, build and perfect new products to attract tourists, contributing to the goal of building and developing Nghe An province commensurate with its position, role, and importance, worthy of being the homeland of President Ho Chi Minh.
