Ninh Binh Tourism Week 2024 has been going on for half of its time with many attractive activities, leaving a deep impression on visitors. Contributing to that overall success are the great efforts of local residents - the honest and gentle tourism "ambassadors" of the ancient capital.
These days, the image of boats loaded with agricultural products leisurely sailing on the Ngo Dong River has been widely spread on social networks. Once again, domestic and international tourists have the opportunity to admire the sparkling, stunning beauty of the land of mountains and waters, the ancient capital of a thousand years of culture. And once again, every local person here is proud to have contributed to the success of Ninh Binh Tourism Week 2024, widely promoting the image of their homeland to all parts of the country.
On the boat carrying Ben Tre coconut specialties, Ms. Chu Thi Tuyet, Ninh Hai commune, Hoa Lu district, became more graceful and gentle in her traditional Vietnamese dress. Still with the rustic voice of a country person mixed with a bit of nervousness when being "entrusted" with a special task for the first time, Ms. Tuyet shared: "When I was chosen to carry the boat of agricultural products in the ceremony of thanking the God of Agriculture at Tam Coc-Bich Dong tourist area, I was a bit nervous and worried but also very proud and excited. Knowing that my task is very important, during the entire trip, I always followed the coordination of the Organizing Committee, was ready to guide tourists as well as tried with the local people to bring the most beautiful images of the people of my hometown".
Like Ms. Tuyet, Ms. Bui Thi Thanh, Ninh Xuan commune, Hoa Lu district, was chosen this year to be in charge of welcoming and guiding visitors to experience the activity of wrapping banh chung in the stilt house area of Hang Ba. Ms. Thanh shared: "I am very happy and proud that every year my hometown's Tourism Week event is renewed and welcomes more visitors. I will try to bring satisfaction and impression so that every visitor when coming here can feel the beauty of nature and people of Hoa Lu."
It can be said that the thought of "each citizen is a tourism ambassador" has truly become the driving force and motto of Ms. Tuyet, Ms. Thanh in particular and of each local resident of the heritage area in general. From there, beyond the joy and pride of participating in the province's major event, each person is self-aware to protect, preserve and promote the image of the homeland and the value of the heritage better. This further affirms that determining the central role of the community in the conservation, management and promotion of heritage is completely correct, contributing to the sustainable protection of heritage.
According to the representative of the Department of Tourism, this year's Ninh Binh Tourism Week attracted the participation of more than 2,000 people in the core heritage area in the communes of Ninh Hai, Ninh Xuan, Truong Yen, etc. They are the ones who directly participate in the central activities in the opening program, such as the agricultural ceremony to welcome the new rice with 63 boats carrying agricultural products, rice harvesting activities, wrapping banh chung and banh day, and worshiping the God of Agriculture. In addition, there are thousands of other people participating in the series of programs responding to Ninh Binh Tourism Week, such as cultural exchanges, arts, sports, folk dances; participating in the work of protecting security and order, environmental sanitation, culture, tourism civilization;...
Thanks to their clear awareness of their role as people "living in heritage, protecting heritage and benefiting from heritage", Ninh Binh Tourism Week has received the consensus and enthusiastic response of local people. Thereby, it has created a strong spread, contributing to the overall success of the opening ceremony and bringing visitors unique and attractive impressions of an event imbued with the cultural, folk and religious colors of the ancient capital.
Thanks to the active activities of tourism "ambassadors" who are local people, they have contributed to promoting the unique cultural, historical and artistic values of Ninh Binh, and at the same time, it is an opportunity for Tam Coc-Bich Dong tourist area in particular and Ninh Binh in general to attract more domestic and international tourists to experience and visit. Thereby contributing to increasing income for local people, exploiting and developing heritage in a harmonious and sustainable way.
Recently, the audience watching the opening program of Ninh Binh Tourism Week 2024 was moved by the sharing of singer Ha Anh Tuan from Ninh Binh: 1 year ago, after his concert in Ninh Binh ended, fans and friends all commented that: Ninh Binh people are so wonderful and kind. No one else - the local people are the tourism "ambassadors" of Ninh Binh.
Obviously, to make an event impressive, successful and meaningful is not only the task of the functional agencies of departments, branches and units, but each citizen needs to be an "ambassador", a tour guide, an active propagandist in those activities.
The success of Ninh Binh Tourism Week 2024 in recent days proves the consistent and correct viewpoint of the province, which is: Taking the people as the center and driving force, as the ones who directly practice, enjoy, preserve and develop the values of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex.
