With the potential and advantages of having many industrial parks located in the area, the synchronous transportation system has created favorable conditions for Thien Ke commune to develop various types of services and trade.

Secretary of the Party Committee of Thien Ke Commune Nguyen Huu Manh said: "In recent times, the commune has proposed many solutions to promote its existing potential and strengths in economic development, thanks to which the appearance of the countryside has always improved, infrastructure has been invested in and built synchronously, the economic structure has shifted in a positive direction, and people's lives have been increasingly improved.

In particular, the service and trade sector in the area has increased rapidly in recent times, mainly focusing on business models combining rental housing, food and beverage services, and grocery sales. Currently, there are more than 8,600 boarding houses, 845 service business households, and 65 private enterprises operating in the area, creating jobs and stable income for many local workers.

To achieve these outstanding results, the Party Committee and People's Committee of the commune always encourage and create conditions for businesses and people to invest and expand the model of renting out boarding houses, restaurants, etc. Focus on propagating and mobilizing people to open more diverse types of services to serve the needs of thousands of workers living and working in industrial parks in the area.

Along with that, the Commune People's Committee regularly directs organizations and unions to coordinate with the Social Policy Bank to actively support loans for people to invest in economic development. Up to now, the total outstanding debt of the Social Policy Bank in the area has reached more than 15.5 billion VND, with 199 borrowers.

Taking us to visit the boarding house of the people in Thien Ke village, Vice Chairman of Thien Ke Commune People's Committee Vu Dinh Long said: "The economy has recovered, a large number of workers from enterprises in industrial parks have returned to work, causing the demand for boarding houses to increase.

Thien Ke village alone has nearly 4,000 rooms for rent, which are almost full; not to mention the types of services "following" the rental houses, which have brought high income to local people. In addition to the income from renting out the rooms, out of 600 households in Thien Ke village, more than 500 households have workers in industrial parks. The remaining people in the village take advantage of opening shops at home, which also brings in a stable monthly income."

In Thien Ke commune, there are many models of boarding houses invested in building convenient closed rooms from 2 to 5 floors, providing high income such as the boarding house of Mr. Tran Van Thuong's family in Ngu Ho village with 60 closed rooms; the boarding house of Mr. Nguyen Van Hang's family in Thien Ke village has 20 closed rooms, fully equipped. Currently, the average rental price of each boarding room is more than 1 million VND/month, bringing a significant source of income to the people.

Mr. Tran Van Thuong shared: "Thanks to the large land fund, the family borrowed capital to invest in 2 high-rise boarding houses with 60 closed rooms for workers to rent. In addition, the family opened a grocery store to serve the workers here. After deducting all costs from operating to hiring security guards, the family also earns more than 70 million VND per month."

In Thien Ke commune, people not only rely on rental housing services, but also on business activities serving workers in industrial parks.

Mr. Do Manh Dung, owner of an electrical and water supply store in the Vinh Phuong resettlement area, said: "When we first moved to the new area, many households who gave up their land to build the industrial park were confused and worried about what they would do to make a living.

However, when businesses started operating, the demand for construction and purchasing goods in this area was very high. Taking advantage of the opportunity, my family borrowed money to open a store selling electrical and water supplies. The business was favorable, and now the store has doubled in size, creating jobs for 3 local workers.

Thanks to its convenient geographical location, the store not only serves local residents but also provides electrical and water supplies to businesses in Thang Long Vinh Phuc Industrial Park and people in neighboring areas.
