Nam Dan: Promoting tourism development commensurate with its potential

(Baonghean.vn) - That was the issue discussed and evaluated at the meeting between the Department of Culture - Society, the Provincial People's Council with the People's Committee of Nam Dan district and localities with tourist clusters and spots in the district according to the program to monitor the implementation of the Law on Tourism.

Nam Dan is considered a district with great potential for tourism exploitation and development. This is a land with a rich and diverse historical and cultural tradition, the origin of Nghe Tinh Vi and Giam folk songs, and beautiful landscapes and terrain of rivers and mountains.

According to statistics, currently, there are 167 relics and scenic spots in the district. And in fact, in the tourist map, Kim Lien relic site has become a tourist destination attracting tens of thousands of visitors every year. In addition, in the area there are also many relics and scenic spots that attract tourists such as Mua Mai temple relic site, Phan Boi Chau memorial house, comrade Le Hong Son; Luc Nien citadel, Trang Den lake, Dai Tue pagoda, Nhan Thap temple...

Deputy Head of the Culture - Social Committee of the Provincial People's Council Ton Thi Cam Ha chaired the meeting.

Nam Dan has also formed a number of branded culinary products to serve tourists such as Nam Dan soy sauce, Sa Nam rice cake, Nam Nghia tamarind meat, Cau Don goat, Nam Thai hill chicken, Lam River sardines and mussels, Nam Anh tapioca starch and perch, Bau Non perch...

In recent times, tourism development has been paid attention to by the Party Committee and the government from the district to the grassroots level. The management and correction of shortcomings in tourism activities and the creation of a civilized tourism environment, attracting investment in tourism are being gradually promoted.

Mr. Ho Sy Hai - Vice Chairman of the District People's Committee pointed out some difficulties for Nam Dan tourism to develop and create breakthroughs.

However, in terms of potential and interest, tourism results are still limited. According to the analysis of the Party Committee, the government, the district-level departments and some localities with tourist attractions in the district, it shows that Nam Dan is still lacking many issues and conditions for tourism development. That is, the planning of the tourism industry is not systematic and drastic.

Investment attraction is still difficult, there are only a few small restaurants and motels. The infrastructure for tourism in general is still poor. Tours have not been formed or connected. Human resources for tourism have not been trained. Out of a total of 1,312 people participating in tourism activities, there are only 2 civil servants of the Department of Culture and Information with university degrees and 1 civil servant of the commune with college degrees in tourism...

All of the above factors lead to the fact that although the number of visitors to Nam Dan increases every year, it only stops at sightseeing, not creating the motivation to develop accompanying services, increasing revenue from tourism services. These are the problems that Nam Dan needs to clearly recognize and have solutions to overcome so that tourism can develop commensurate with the potential and position of Nam Dan district.
