At the conference, delegates discussed and clarified the outstanding results of the culture, sports and tourism sector in 2023.
Speaking at the conference, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Pham Quang Ngoc presented the content "Preserving and promoting the value of cultural - historical and natural heritage associated with socio-economic development in Ninh Binh province".
Accordingly, Ninh Binh province has been mobilizing and focusing on mobilizing resources, investing in infrastructure and cultural institutions from the province to the grassroots level, preserving and promoting the value of cultural - historical and natural heritage associated with socio-economic development, the core of which is to promote the value of people, the land of the ancient capital and the outstanding global value of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage of Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex, creating new resources and driving forces for the province's development, developing tourism into a spearhead economic sector. Tourism has contributed significantly to the continuous double-digit growth of Ninh Binh's service industry in the past 2 years and ranking second in the country in 2023.
To effectively implement key tasks and breakthrough solutions for cultural, sports and tourism development in 2024, Ninh Binh province focuses on developing cultural industry and identifies cultural industry development as a breakthrough direction.
However, this is a difficult task, requiring determination and unified awareness of issues that often have different viewpoints, hindering the direction and implementation of the work, especially the development of cultural products to meet the needs of high-level cultural enjoyment with the needs of popular entertainment; between the restoration and preservation of heritage and the historical transformation to serve the development of the cultural industry; between maintaining and preserving the original state of heritage and resource-making and asset-making of heritage for development, especially in the service and tourism sectors.
In particular, breakthroughs in mechanisms to promote brand economic development, protect intangible asset values, perfect appropriate credit mechanisms, and remove bottlenecks for investors who need to borrow capital to invest in developing cultural industries; it is necessary to study and expand the scope of investment portfolios in the form of public-private partnerships in the cultural industry sector (PPP).
Regarding the development of Heritage Urban, it is a component part of the heritage system, and at a higher level, it becomes a national and human asset, contributing to promoting and enhancing the value of national brands and local brands. The ancient capital of Hoa Lu is a thousand-year-old heritage urban area, which the laws of other countries call a millennium heritage urban area or a historical city.
Along with Hue, Hoa Lu is one of two ancient capital heritage cities in Vietnam that need specific mechanisms and regulations to meet the requirements of restoration, preservation and promotion. Along with that, it is necessary to create and promote specific mechanisms for restoration, preservation and promotion of heritage cities, so that heritage cities can retain their own identity without being swept away by compact urbanization and "concretization" that causes conflicts with heritage values.
To ensure the restoration and preservation of millennium heritage cities, it is necessary to promote decentralization, delegation of authority, and allocation of resources in conjunction with increased inspection and supervision, especially in areas such as archaeology, restoration, and construction of cultural institutions. At the same time, these new cultural institutions will become new cultural architectural works and symbols such as museums, theaters, restoration of works of the imperial city, and development of cultural industrial infrastructure that cannot be subject to economic and technical standards like normal works.
In particular, it is necessary to stipulate specific criteria for Heritage Cities, as a basis for localities with Heritage Cities holding UNESCO titles to plan and rearrange administrative units, and properly resolve the relationship between modernization and conservation of urban heritage in the urbanization process.
Special attention should be paid to intra-regional and inter-regional linkages in the management and exploitation, promotion of cultural heritages with tourism development, and the organization of cultural spaces. This is a content that needs to be especially emphasized in regional development planning in general, especially in the Red River Delta region, which is dense with heritages, including heritage roads associated with the Ancient Capital and the Capital. From planning to determine each heritage road that needs to be connected by appropriate means of transport, strengthening the construction of shared data for cultural tourism development, organizing investment in developing service infrastructure, and unique and distinctive tourism products.
With the above issues, Ninh Binh province proactively reported specific mechanisms for restoration, preservation and promotion of the heritage value of Hoa Lu Ancient Capital, building heritage urban areas, developing heritage economy, brand economy, cultural industry... looking forward to receiving guidance, assistance and support from the Central Government, Government, ministries and branches.
At the conference, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism awarded Emulation Flags to 33 Departments of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Departments of Culture, Sports and Tourism of provinces and cities; awarded Certificates of Merit to 42 Departments of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Departments of Culture, Sports and Tourism of provinces and cities under the Central Government (in which the Department of Culture, Sports and Department of Tourism of Ninh Binh were awarded Certificates of Merit).
