“In the coming time, the company will continue to work with the people to train human resources for the tours that the unit is exploiting; expand and develop homestays based on the people's existing houses to serve tourism in the two communes of Kim Thuy and Ngan Thuy. The company and the people will research on growing medicinal herbs and raising bees for sale, promoting the participation of ethnic minorities in the local economic development process,” said Mr. Tran Xuan Cuong.
Developing tourism associated with the life of ethnic minorities, Mr. Phan Van Thin, Tour Director of Chua Me Dat Company Limited (Oxalis) said that the company currently has 2 tours: Exploring En Cave for 2 days and 1 night and exploring Son Doong for 6 days and 5 nights, with activities such as stopping for lunch and visiting Doong village - the village of Bru-Van Kieu people in Tan Trach commune (Bo Trach).
In addition, Oxalis also has a product of a journey to find the legendary Truong Son mark.

“The tourism products associated with the ethnic minority life exploited by the company are operating effectively and are loved by domestic and international tourists. The uniqueness of Son Doong, the world’s largest cave, with its majestic natural beauty, along with the culture, rustic life, and affection of the Bru-Van Kieu people… are extremely attractive experiences for tourists. Therefore, this tour usually requires booking from several months to a year in advance,” Mr. Phan Van Thin shared.
Make the most of existing advantages

However, according to Director of the Department of Tourism Nguyen Ngoc Quy, in general, Quang Binh tourism has not yet effectively exploited the cultural resources of the ethnic minority and mountainous regions. Tourism products in this area have initially only had the participation of ethnic minorities in some activities, such as: Serving tourist groups, providing food, cultural and artistic exchanges... There are no typical tourism products of the ethnic minority; a product chain has not been created at many destinations to expand the tourist market segment, extend the length of stay, improve the socio-economic efficiency of tourism, promote the development of service industries, ancillary production...
Action Program No. 01-CTr/TU, dated December 9, 2020 of the Provincial Party Committee on developing tourism to truly become a spearhead economic sector, period 2021-2025 clearly stated: Investment and development of tourism products should not only focus on existing advantages (caves, sea, culture-history), but also need to "research and develop community tourism associated with new rural construction, combined with preserving and promoting traditional craft villages, unique cultural features of ethnic groups, forming ethnic cultural tourism spots". |
To promote the strengths and bring the good traditional cultural values of ethnic minorities into tourism activities, it is necessary to take a process, requiring a lot of effort and resources. Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Quy said that, first of all, it is necessary to focus on a number of solutions, such as: Inventory and evaluation of cultural tourism resources of ethnic minorities. After determining the products that can be built into tourism products, it is necessary to establish a long-term program to comprehensively manage the exploitation process for tourism activities.
Investing in infrastructure and technical facilities is also an important factor in exploiting the good traditional cultural values of the Ethnic Minorities in tourism activities. When exploiting the cultural tourism products of the Ethnic Minorities, it is necessary to organize links with other tourist areas, locations, and products to become tourism programs to meet the diverse needs of tourists. The work of promoting and advertising the image of the products needs to be strengthened. In addition, the main purpose of exploiting the good cultural values of the Ethnic Minorities for tourism activities is to promote and preserve. To exploit sustainably, it requires maintenance and conservation activities to preserve the intrinsic cultural values...
