Following the meeting on April 2, 2021 with the Cang Long People’s Committee, Tra Vinh Province, the IPCS experts (Investment Promotion Center – South of Vietnam) recently discussed the plan to coordinate the implementation of the task “Research and Development of Tourism in Con Ho, Cang Long District, Tra Vinh Province”.
Located in the north of Tra Vinh, Cang Long is a gateway district and this place is endowed with rich and diverse resources with a complex river system.
The center-district is located along Highway 53, connecting Tra Vinh and Vinh Long, about 21 km from Tra Vinh city. This place is considered the gateway for economic – cultural – social exchange of Tra Vinh with other provinces in the Mekong Delta.
Located in Cang Long District, Con Ho is a place with a natural ecological environment and a society bearing bold Southern countryside; the people are gentle and hospitable; the life style and living facilities are the original of the rustic, simple, harmonious culture, away from the bustle of the city.
The preservation and maintenance of the values of “river culture” of the local residents has made a special attraction from the visitors.
Since 2020, the local authorities has launched the tourism economic movement, most of the local residents have responded with the form of self-development.
Due to the impact of the Covid-19, the number of tourists is still modest but this place converges potentials for ecotourism and has a strong development quality once the promotion is promoted.
The participation of local people in the process of exploiting tourism services is a bright spot, being the foundation for the development of ecological services. Residents need specialized training to provide in-depth tourism service and create a wider range of products for tourists.
From the above aspects, the IPCS experts summarizes the main tasks in supporting tourism development:
- Con Ho tourism development plan to 2030, direction to 2050.
- Promotion and bringing Con Ho to the map of Vietnam tourist destination.
- Planning training courses for residents and neighboring region (wharfs, reception stations) on tourism services and for local officials in management of culture, natural resources and tourism. To ensure tourism exploitation in parallel with ecological conservation, maintaining biodiversity in order to develop sustainable tourism.
- Coordinate with local authorities to call for investment such as infrastructure and facilities necessary for ecotourism development but require large capital, high expertise and complex technology.
