Infrastructure opens the way, creating momentum for connectivity.
Recognizing infrastructure as a key driver for socio -economic development, localities in the northwestern part of the city are focusing on investing in the synchronous development of infrastructure, especially inter-commune and inter-village transportation systems and regional connecting roads.
In Song Vang commune, where National Highway 14G passes through, just over 30km from the city center, the local government has proactively reviewed, developed, and submitted to the competent authorities the General Planning Project for the commune's development until 2030, with a vision to 2040.
According to Le Van Tu, Chairman of the People's Committee of Song Vang commune, the locality is proposing the inclusion of several key transportation routes in the planning, such as roads connecting Song Vang, Song Kon, Thuong Duc, and Hoa Bac; routes connecting the commune center and inter-village roads; and a system of public infrastructure serving the people and economic development. This will be the foundation for attracting investment, businesses, and developing effective production and service models.
Sharing the same view, Chairman of Song Kon Commune People's Committee Do Huu Tung said that the locality is taking advantage of resources from the central government and the city to invest in rural transportation, digital infrastructure, electricity, water, schools, health stations, and industrial clusters, prioritizing key projects such as the expansion of National Highway 14G. Song Kon Commune is also effectively implementing national target programs and specific policies for ethnic minority areas, aiming to eliminate temporary housing, develop high-tech agriculture , and build new rural areas with unique characteristics of mountainous regions.
Economic development linked to local culture.
One of the breakthrough directions identified by localities is the development of ecotourism and community-based tourism associated with ethnic culture. The Song Vang and Song Kon areas possess pristine mountain and forest landscapes, lakes, the A Pang hot springs, ancient tea forests, and many potential tourist destinations such as Ban Mai Lake, Anh Mountain, and Em Mountain. This is an ideal condition for developing resort tourism, agricultural tourism, and experiential tourism products linked to the lives of the Co Tu people.
In Hai Van ward, the development of forestry, along with the management, protection, and development of forests, is a priority for the local authorities. Recently, the ward organized 12 mobile awareness campaigns on forest management and protection in 7 villages; collaborated with GreenViet to plant nearly 5 hectares of community forest in Ta Lang and Gian Bi; implemented a reforestation project within the special-use forest area; and piloted a model for developing tourism services under the forest canopy.
According to Nguyen Thuc Dung, Chairman of the Hai Van Ward People's Committee, the locality has established a community-based ecotourism and homestay cooperative in the two villages of Ta Lang and Gian Bi; forming the Ta Lang, Gian Bi, and Nam Yen tourism clusters to create attractive tourist destinations linked to local ecology and culture.
According to Mr. Do Huu Tung, Song Kon commune is promoting organic agricultural production linked to OCOP brand building, effectively exploiting forest resources, and developing agricultural and forestry product value chains. Production linkages, forest protection contracts, and attracting businesses to invest in raw material areas have yielded practical results, creating sustainable livelihoods for the people.
Local authorities are actively encouraging investment in eco-tourism resorts and community-based tourism, combining processing and experiencing local products such as herbal tea, brocade weaving, and ethnic cuisine. Models like the tea eco-tourism project of Quang Nam Agriculture and Forestry Joint Stock Company or community-based accommodation services in villages are gradually emerging, opening up a sustainable path forward.
Inseparable from economic development is the preservation of cultural identity. The northwestern area of the city is striving to preserve ethnic culture, especially the culture of the Co Tu people, which is an invaluable asset, both a source of pride and a resource for tourism.
Accordingly, three national intangible cultural heritages of the Co Tu people, including the Tung Tung Da Da dance; the art of storytelling and singing; and the craft of brocade weaving, are being restored, taught, and incorporated into traditional festivals and community activities, while also becoming distinctive cultural tourism products to attract visitors.
Organizing classes in brocade weaving and wood carving for the Co Tu ethnic group in Ta Lang and Gian Bi villages (Hai Van ward)... is clear evidence of a commitment to preserving heritage while developing livelihoods.
