Kon Plông District: Strengthening State Management of Tourism

Tourism is a key economic sector with stable growth, playing an important role in creating jobs, attracting investment, promoting economic growth, shifting the economic structure, preserving and promoting traditional cultural values, and improving the material and spiritual life of the people in Kon Plông District.

In recent times, Kon Plông District has always paid attention to and prioritized integrating tourism development into the resolutions and annual work programs of the District Party Committee, People's Council, and People's Committee, as well as incorporating it into various programs and plans from the district level down to the grassroots level. Activities related to promoting, advertising, and fostering tourism have been consistently focused on and intensified. The district regularly directs the Interdisciplinary Inspection Team to check the restaurants, hotels, and lodging businesses in the area; urging tourism businesses, lodging establishments, and tourist attractions to improve the appearance of their premises, enhance rooms, maintain environmental hygiene, and maintain a friendly attitude towards tourists.

Additionally, the district has always created favorable conditions for local residents to participate in tourism business and raise awareness about the development of community-based tourism. State management of tourism is regularly carried out in accordance with regulations. In general, tourist sites in the district operate in compliance with current regulations, with lodging facilities ensuring cleanliness and creating a green, clean, and beautiful environment. Prices at hotels, restaurants, and souvenir shops are transparently posted.

To proactively build a tourism workforce, the District People's Committee has directed relevant units to collaborate with local authorities to enhance training, workshops, and career guidance for tourism-related manpower. So far, 16 community-based tourism classes have been held for local officials and residents involved in tourism. Currently, there are 132 lodging businesses offering various services such as resorts, hotels, homestays, and guesthouses, with 1,250 rooms, capable of accommodating more than 5,000 visitors for overnight stays and vacations each day. The number of tourists visiting and staying in the district has steadily increased, especially during holidays and festivals. The total number of visitors from the beginning of 2024 to now has surpassed 1 million, reaching 83% of the target for 2024.

To effectively manage state affairs regarding tourism in the area, in the coming period, Kon Plông District will continue to implement the Resolution No. 01-NQ/HU of the District Party Committee for the 19th term, focusing on the direction of calling for and identifying investment projects for the 2021-2025 period. The district will also prioritize good planning and management of land use, efficiently mobilize investment resources for the development of infrastructure and technical facilities to serve tourism growth, enhance the quality and development of tourism products, with a special focus on unique, locally characteristic products. The district will promote the application of science and technology, innovate and improve the effectiveness of tourism promotion and advertising, and strengthen connections and cooperation to develop local tourism.
