Economic development should be linked with environmental protection and the preservation of cultural identity, while community-based tourism in border communes like Lao Chai, Thanh Thuy, Lung Cu, and Dong Van should be encouraged to increase income for local residents and improve their livelihoods, he said.
Dang Van Hau, a respected member of the Dao ethnic community in Xa Phin village, Thanh Thuy commune, expressed his agreement with reform directions outlined in the draft documents. He hoped the Party and State will continue training ethnic minority officials, support community-based tourism linked to Dao culture, expand promotion of Tuyen Quang’s highland areas, and connect tourism with the Dong Van karst plateau to attract visitors.
Tran Thi Thanh Huong, a retiree in Ha Giang 1 ward, applauded the strategic vision for development goals in the next five years, saying that the draft documents reflect a strong spirit of innovation.
However, she underlined the need for more concrete solutions in education, science and technology, and digital transformation, noting that rapid development must go hand in hand with sustainability, and center on people.
Representing young people in border areas, Ban Thi Hom, a Dao ethnic minority in Na Mau village, Thanh Thuy commune, expressed her confidence in the new development direction and called for the draft policy to provide solutions for local vocational training and job opportunities, especially in tourism and service sectors.
She affirmed that ethnic minority young people can play a key role in developing community-based tourism and promoting Tuyen Quang as a friendly and hospitable destination to both domestic and international visitors.
