Aspiration for 'green tourism' in Tam Son
(Baonghean.vn) - Along with agricultural production, Tam Son commune, Anh Son mountainous district (Nghe An) is opening up tourism development to exploit potential, bringing income to local people.
Located on the left bank of Lam River, adjacent to Con Cuong District, Tam Son Commune (Anh Son) is a remote area with difficult socio-economic life. However, in return, Tam Son Commune still retains beautiful landscapes and cultural identity, which are important factors for tourism development. Realizing this, Tam Son Commune People's Committee has developed a tourism development plan based on the available local resources.
Coming to Tam Son commune, when reaching the border with Dinh Son commune, passengers will be surprised to see a colorful flower garden, spreading fragrant scent along the inter-commune road. This flower garden is planted and cared for by women in Tam Son commune to promote the image of their homeland, to attract tourists from near and far to the poetic land on the Lam river.
There are many kinds of flowers blooming together here, there is a check-in point for passengers to stop and take satisfactory photos. In the corner of the flower garden, there is a sign with the words "Tam Son invites you to visit" and this place is called "Gate of Happiness". That is enough to show the openness and hospitality of the people and leave a good impression on those who have the opportunity to pass by this place.
Currently, Tam Son commune is implementing a tourism development plan. In addition to the flower garden and check-in point, the commune is implementing a number of other projects. Among them, it is necessary to mention the peony field with tens of thousands of newly planted trees to create a landscape and attract tourists.
In the near future, this will be a place for visitors to enjoy, sightsee, and immerse themselves in a space full of fragrance and color.
Near the peony field is the Tam Son stone beach tourist area next to the murmuring Lam River. This place has a wild landscape, with stone beaches running along the riverbank and endless forests.
Tam Son Stone Beach tourist area will attract visitors with its tree-lined streets and cafes located next to hundreds of years old trees.
Here, you will hear the “song” of the river, the “whisper” of the wind on each tree branch and the chirping of birds as they move from branch to branch. That means you can enjoy the charming sounds of nature and immerse yourself in the vast scenery of the forest, helping you to forget the worries and anxieties in life and have moments of peace after the stress of making a living, especially on hot summer days.
In particular, in the rocky area there are hundreds of ancient cotton trees, every year in March the cotton flowers are bright red across the sky. In the tourism development plan, Tam Son commune plans to organize the Cotton Flower Festival in March with unique cultural and sports exchange activities to attract tourists from all over the country.
In addition, Tam Son commune also built a community tourism site in Khe Gat village, where the Thai ethnic people live, with cultural features imbued with their identity. Currently, the commune has conducted a survey to build homestay sites, and selected members of the culinary team and the art team.
According to Mr. Nguyen Van Que - Chairman of Tam Son Commune People's Committee, the local tourism development plan aims to build and develop tourism products and services that are imbued with the regional cultural identity and closely connected with nature, and are able to compete with other localities. At the same time, cultural and tourism events are organized to attract visitors, contributing to promoting tourism growth.
Tourism is identified as a key economic sector, so Tam Son commune is implementing a development plan based on exploiting and promoting its potential and advantages. Along with efforts in building and promoting the brand, we look forward to receiving guidance and support from all levels and the tourism sector in the process of implementing the plan.
