According to Mr. Ho Mau Thanh, Vinh City has proposed and the province has approved that in the future, it will build streets: walking, books, culinary culture, and performing arts.

Believing that this is a highlight to create a difference for Vinh City, the implementation "is not costly, only requires effort, only needs the people's consent", the head of the provincial Department of Culture suggested that in the near future, Vinh City should study and implement the construction of a walking street associated with the work of embellishment and promotion to create a destination for people and attract tourists.

According to Mr. Thanh's suggestion, the city can choose Truong Thi Street from the intersection with Ho Tung Mau and Phan Dang Luu streets to the roundabout in front of Muong Thanh - Phuong Dong hotel to build a walking street in the evening, and can close both ends of this street with barriers at 6 pm.

Truong Thi Street is one of the central routes of Vinh City connected to Ho Chi Minh Square - a place that often holds major cultural and artistic events of Nghe An province and is also a destination for many people inside and outside the province.

In Action Program No. 55 of the Provincial Party Standing Committee to implement Resolution 08/NQ-TW of the Politburo on developing tourism into a spearhead economic sector in Nghe An province in the period of 2017-2030, issued on January 4, 2018, the policy of gradually forming a number of walking streets and specialized streets serving tourists in the urban centers of Vinh and Cua Lo was also proposed.

Besides, to create attractive destinations for tourists, Mr. Ho Mau Thanh also suggested that the city continue to pay attention to mobilizing social resources to preserve, restore and embellish the city's relics such as Vinh Temple of Literature, Vinh Citadel, Hong Son Temple... to promote the value of the relics for tourism.

The head of the Department of Culture and Sports of Nghe An also suggested that the city pay attention to improving business and culinary culture because there are still shortcomings, especially "overpricing" in business. "Tourists still call the Director of the Department of Culture and Sports" - Mr. Thanh said.

In addition, giving his opinion to Vinh City, Mr. Ho Mau Thanh also suggested that this locality strengthen inspection and rectify advertising activities; pay attention to environmental sanitation in outlying communes;...

In particular, Vinh City needs to have a strategy to build parks and entertainment spots for people in the North and South of the city because parks are currently concentrated in the center.
