Need to promote value
Not only Hat Chuong cave, Chua Ta cave, Tham Khen cave, Dien Bien is endowed by nature with many beautiful, majestic caves with high aesthetic value. Many caves are ranked as national relics and scenic spots; however, at present, this potential is still left untapped as it has not been planned, invested in and exploited; or planned and exploited but not commensurate with the scale.
Recently, at the ceremony to announce and receive the Certificate of ranking as a provincial scenic relic of Tia Cho cave (Muong Cha district), the leader of the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism emphasized that the caves in the province basically have full historical, scientific, cultural, aesthetic and tourism values; possessing natural beauty, bestowed by nature on the land and people here. However, after being ranked, the caves were assigned to local authorities (commune level) for protection and management. However, many communes have not really paid attention. This not only causes waste of natural resources but also leads to the caves being encroached upon, not being able to promote their value. Therefore, it is recommended that Party committees and commune authorities at all levels need to strengthen propaganda to the people to raise awareness of preservation to protect and promote the value of the caves.
It can be affirmed that caves are valuable resources in terms of culture and history... However, currently, localities have not yet fully promoted the value of caves. Partly because people have not shared responsibility with local authorities to protect and promote the value of caves. Another part is that propaganda and promotion work has not been really extensive. Therefore, in order to promote the potential, in addition to investing in traffic infrastructure, taking advantage of natural conditions to synchronously develop comprehensive services in the area; socializing and calling on businesses to participate in investing and exploiting caves, people also need to share responsibility, join hands to preserve and promote the existing values of caves.
