On the morning of November 3, continuing the session program, the National Assembly discussed the Land Law (amended), sharing with Nguoi Dua Tin on the sidelines of the National Assembly, about land recovery for entertainment areas, multi-purpose complexes in addition to commercial and service businesses. National Assembly Deputy Quan Minh Cuong - Head of the National Assembly Delegation of Dong Nai province stated:
Supplementing the case of land recovery for amusement and entertainment areas, multi-purpose complexes in addition to commercial and service business, accordingly amending and supplementing Clause 27, Article 79 as follows: "27. Commercial housing projects, mixed housing projects or new urban areas combined with commercial and service business, amusement and entertainment areas, multi-purpose complexes are important projects decided by the Provincial People's Council in accordance with local conditions because the current legal framework on tourism infrastructure development is not complete, not favorable and does not encourage organizations and individuals to access land resources to develop tourism infrastructure".
National Assembly Delegate Quan Minh Cuong.
Specifically, the Law on Tourism was passed by the National Assembly in June 2017 and took effect from January 1, 2018 with the scope of regulation related to state management of tourism resources, tourism product development and tourism activities; rights and obligations of tourists, organizations and individuals doing tourism business, other agencies, organizations, individuals, and communities with tourism-related activities; state management of tourism.
Therefore, the scope of regulation of the Law on Tourism does not include the construction, formation and development of tourism infrastructure and tourism resources.
Meanwhile, other sectors are supported and have access to land to carry out production and business activities through the State's land acquisition, including projects such as: crude oil storage, storage, petrol and gas pumping stations or construction of public markets.
"The fact that the Land Law does not have regulations on land access for organizations and individuals to develop tourism and services will not encourage the development of tourism infrastructure and destinations," Mr. Cuong commented.
According to Mr. Cuong, previously, the 2003 Land Law also stipulated that tourism and service development projects were also subject to land acquisition by the State. Decree 84 of the Government in 2007 also legalized tourism as a key economic sector and eligible for land acquisition by the State.
Accordingly, the State will recover land to develop tourist areas with links in infrastructure and business types; develop outdoor entertainment areas with many types of entertainment.
National Assembly deputies expect the National Assembly to pass the draft Land Law (amended) to be able to unlock resources.
However, according to Mr. Cuong, in the 2013 Land Law, this provision was removed and the draft Land Law (amended) also did not mention this subject. Meanwhile, Resolution 08/TW of the Politburo continues to affirm that tourism development becomes a spearhead economic sector.
“Up to now, although the Draft Law on Land (amended) has been revised many times, tourism projects are still not subject to land recovery and are therefore not suitable for practice,” Mr. Cuong commented.
Mr. Cuong emphasized that assigning organizations and individuals to carry out commercial housing projects or new urban areas combined with commercial business, services, entertainment areas, and multi-purpose complexes, which are considered key local projects, will contribute to promoting local socio-economic development, synchronizing urban development combined with tourism and trade;
Forming urban areas with financial, commercial and tourist centers to attract international investment and tourists to the locality.
This model is also being widely applied in a number of countries around the world and regions such as Thailand, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia...
In addition, delegates proposed that the Government stipulate criteria for "important projects decided by the Provincial People's Council in accordance with local conditions" to facilitate future implementation.
K is a bit resource-intensive.
Expecting about the draft of the revised Land Law this time, National Assembly Deputy Vu Tien Loc (Hanoi delegation) said that the Land Law is an important law related to people's lives and the country's socio-economic development. These days, voters nationwide are looking to Ba Dinh Hall to wait for the important decision of the National Assembly related to the Land Law.
Up to now, the Land Law and related regulations are a major bottleneck in the country's socio-economic development. Therefore, mobilizing land resources for the country's development is very important.
Therefore, amending the Land Law in a synchronous manner with related laws will become an important solution to unlock resources and promote socio-economic development in the coming time.
During the process of drafting the Land Law, voters and people across the country participated very actively with more than 12 million comments; all levels, sectors and scientists also actively participated in giving their comments. However, up to now, there are still many issues with different opinions, but I think that there are still different opinions because this is a very difficult Law.
"I really hope that at this Session, the National Assembly will pass the Draft Land Law (amended) but there must be solutions to remove obstacles," said Mr. Loc .
