Over the past years, based on the tasks set by the province, a number of specialized units of the province have approved project programs to implement plans to develop craft villages associated with the tourism economy. Up to this point, due to many reasons, the development of craft villages associated with the tourism economy has been recorded to have some movement but is not yet clear.
Ms. Nguyen Chi Mai, Head of the Rural Development Department (Department of Agriculture and Environment), said: The Department has just been re-accepted the task of developing a project to develop craft villages and traditional occupations associated with tourism development. Based on the available documents, it can be seen that Quang Ninh province has many handicrafts that have been formed, maintained and developed in residential areas. However, according to the current criteria for craft villages and traditional occupations, they have not been met or the number of those meeting the criteria is very small. The whole province currently has 3 occupations: Ceramics in Dong Trieu, fishing gear weaving and banh gio making in Quang Yen, which basically meet the criteria for traditional craft villages and traditional occupations. This affects the task of developing policies to support craft villages and traditional occupations to develop in the direction of tourism, which the specialized units were previously assigned to carry out. Besides, it is important that each craft village, traditional profession, and traditional craftsperson in Quang Ninh has not really been proactive in developing in the direction of linking with tourism...
Continuing the goal of developing craft villages associated with tourism economy, based on the actual situation, the Department of Rural Development has currently reviewed in localities, the resources of craft and handicraft products that have existed for a long time and have room for development to pilot the construction of craft models and handicraft products associated with tourism. Mr. Vu Anh Tuan, Deputy Head of the Department of Rural Development, Department of Rural Development, analyzed: Quang Ninh does not have many traditional craft villages and traditional occupations if based on general criteria. In return, the localities of the province all have unique craft and handicraft products, which have been affirmed in quality, and are also the main occupations and products of the locality. In some localities that are promoting the development of community tourism economy, cultural villages, ethnic minority villages, indigenous tourism models... have been built, easily associated with the development of traditional craft and traditional products. For example, in Huc Dong commune (Binh Lieu district), the craft of making handmade dong vermicelli here has developed widely, almost every household in the commune participates in growing dong or making dong vermicelli. Many households still maintain the technique of making handmade dong vermicelli, maintaining the difference in the vermicelli processing process as well as the taste, color, and quality of the vermicelli products. This locality is also in the process of building a new model rural area, the completion of traffic infrastructure, production facilities as well as cultural and artistic institutions and movements of Huc Dong further supports the development of the dong vermicelli craft village as well as facilitates the development of tourism in the area. In fact, through many information channels, many tourists have come to Huc Dong to enjoy the scenery of the mountainous area as well as experience the cultural life of the indigenous people, including the craft of making dong vermicelli.
Similarly, most communes and villages in Van Don district have seafood farming and processing occupations. The Cai Rong fish sauce production facility of Cai Rong HMC Fish Sauce Joint Stock Company (in Doan Ket commune, Van Don district) has invested in large-scale infrastructure and modern equipment. With the advantage of locally exploited seafood, traditional fish sauce processing procedures, and processed fish sauce products that have been famous for many years, the Cai Rong fish sauce factory is completely suitable to become a tourist attraction for visitors to Van Don. This is an advantage for Van Don to be able to develop traditional occupations and products associated with tourism.
It can be seen that Quang Ninh has room to develop traditional craft village models, traditional occupations, handicrafts, and handicraft products associated with the tourism economy. Currently, localities and craft villages need a mechanism and policy to promote pilot models and demonstration models to develop traditional craft villages, traditional occupations, handicrafts, and handicraft products associated with the tourism economy, truly becoming a sustainable, multi-value direction, contributing to the development of the local economy as well as improving people's lives.
