DNVN - "With the vision and planning of the locality and the participation of investors, Ha Nam will have a "transformation" in appearance. We expect that by 2030, it will welcome 10 million tourists and truly become a destination that tourists cannot miss when coming to Vietnam", Mr. Truong Quoc Huy - Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Committee of Ha Nam province affirmed.
Ha Nam is a land of outstanding people and geomancy, containing many unique cultural features and many fascinating historical architectural works. In 2023, Ha Nam was honored as “The World’s Leading Local Cultural Destination”.
Not satisfied with the existing conditions and achievements, Ha Nam province is also nurturing many big ideas to change the urban appearance, gradually upgrading Ha Nam, becoming a regional and world-class spiritual and cultural destination. Mr. Truong Quoc Huy - Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Committee of Ha Nam province shared with us about these ideas.
Mr. Truong Quoc Huy - Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Committee of Ha Nam province shared ideas to attract tourists and investors.
Attracting investors with heart and vision, upgrading tourism
In recent times, Ha Nam has achieved many impressive achievements in tourism. In your opinion, what is the greatest strength that makes Ha Nam attractive to tourists?
Mr. Truong Quoc Huy: Ha Nam is a land of outstanding people with a rich cultural and historical history, where there are many places associated with famous cultural figures, and also owns many famous spiritual tourist destinations with unique landscapes such as: Tam Chuc Pagoda, Long Doi Son Pagoda, Tran Thuong Temple, Dia Tang Phi Lai Tu, Bau Pagoda...
In recent times, the province has promoted the development of spiritual tourism associated with nature conservation and is planning a conservation area for the Delacour’s langur. Notably, in 2023, Ha Nam was honored by the World Travel Awards as the World’s Leading Local Cultural Destination.
However, Ha Nam tourism still has some limitations such as undiversified tourism products, modest tourism infrastructure, and unsynchronized traffic connections. These limitations prevent Ha Nam tourism from attracting a large number of foreign tourists.
In the coming time, with the simultaneous implementation of many new projects on infrastructure, transportation, large-scale urban projects combined with entertainment areas, theme parks, especially the participation of large tourism enterprises such as Sun Group, Ha Nam tourism will certainly have many breakthroughs, attracting many domestic and international tourists.
To turn Ha Nam into a regional and world-class destination, not just a spiritual and cultural destination, what strategies does the locality have in the short and long term?
Mr. Truong Quoc Huy: With the expectation that Ha Nam will change its urban appearance, gradually becoming a regional and world-class destination, planning work is our top priority. Having a good plan will lead to good projects, having good projects will help us choose good investors, that is the first thing.
The second thing is that we promote investment in infrastructure, connecting traffic between tourist areas with national traffic infrastructure, creating conditions for tourists to travel safely and conveniently to destinations in the province.
Third, we are interested in and invite investors with heart and vision to join hands in creating high-class, quality tourism products, while closely connecting tourism products and destinations together.
We identify one of the most important tasks as how to create attractive tourism products and services so that visitors not only come to Ha Nam in the spring, but all four seasons of the year, so that visitors not only come to spiritual tourist destinations but also want to come to Ha Nam to experience local culture, visit scenic spots, and enjoy many other new and attractive experiences. Only then can Ha Nam tourism develop sustainably.
Making Ha Nam a land worth visiting and worth living
So how will Ha Nam welcome large investors to achieve the goal of changing the urban appearance towards high quality and repositioning Ha Nam as a destination, sir?
Mr. Truong Quoc Huy: In the planning of Ha Nam province approved by the Prime Minister, we aim to build Ha Nam into a centrally-run city by 2050. To achieve this goal, we are stepping up investment according to the approved plan, focusing on upgrading transport infrastructure to connect tourist areas and industrial zones with the national transport system.
Recently, we have invited large investors to Ha Nam, including large corporations with the strength to develop large-scale and classy tourism projects such as Sun Group and Flamingo... In Phu Ly City, a large-scale mega-project is currently being implemented, which is Do Thi Thoi Dai - Sun Urban City with a scale of up to 420 hectares, with a total investment of 35,000 billion VND. The project promises to bring a new look to Phu Ly City with multiple objectives: Building a civilized and modern urban area, bringing a multi-utility life to the people; Changing the economic structure of Ha Nam province, shifting from agriculture to industry and service economy.
People whose land is recovered by this urban project will be arranged to change their jobs to tourism and commercial services, they will have better jobs and higher income. We also expect that this urban area with the integration of many parks such as Sun World Park, sports park, festival park, cultural park, ecological park... will bring Ha Nam a modern urban area, in harmony between modern elements and nature. When completed, Sun Urban City Ha Nam will certainly be an ideal suburban resort city for tourists from Hanoi and the Red River Delta region on every holiday and weekend.
Groundbreaking ceremony of Sun Urban City project
From the perspective of urban management, the new project in Phu Ly City has a very low construction density - about 18%, but it contributes greatly to the provincial budget. From this budget, we will focus on investing in transport infrastructure, schools, hospitals and other social facilities to bring a better quality of life to local people. I hope that Do Thi Thoi Dai - Sun Urban City will be a project that will "change the face" of Phu Ly City, and at the same time create momentum for Ha Nam to gradually rise to become a land worth visiting and living in the whole country.
We understand that Sun Group is also focusing on implementing a series of investment promotion activities, organizing a series of events, cultural, artistic and tourism activities, taking place from September and lasting until the April 30 - May 1 holiday in 2025. This will be an unprecedented series of highlight events organized to honor the quintessence of Northern culture, connecting famous tangible and intangible cultural heritages in the locality, contributing to turning the land of "Doi mountain Chau river" into the most attractive tourist destination in the country. At the same time, Sun World Ha Nam park is also expected to be completed and put into operation next summer.
We believe that, with the advantages of transportation and the existing tourism strengths of the locality, this series of events and tourism products will contribute to increasing the attractiveness of the destination, helping us achieve the goal of welcoming 5-6 million visitors in 2024, especially contributing to solving the problem of seasonal tourism, bringing many emotions to visitors when coming to Ha Nam.
With so many passionate ideas, how do you envision Ha Nam in the next 5 years?
Mr. Truong Quoc Huy: Firstly, with a systematic planning and the support of large investors with heart, vision, financial capacity and experience, I believe that in just a short time, Ha Nam will have a spectacular change in traffic infrastructure.
Second, the urban appearance will also change completely, with urban areas planned synchronously, fully equipped, meeting the needs of people and investors such as Sun Urban City, gradually turning Phu Ly, Ha Nam into a livable city.
Third, Ha Nam tourism will be invested and promoted to its full potential. Tourists coming to Ha Nam will not only participate in spiritual activities, but also enjoy and experience unique cultural and artistic activities along with many high-class, high-quality and different entertainment services. Certainly, in the coming time, the number of tourists coming to Ha Nam will increase. We expect to welcome 10 million visitors by 2030 and importantly, Ha Nam will truly become a destination that domestic and international tourists cannot ignore when coming to Vietnam.
Thank you!
