Head of the Culture and Social Affairs Committee of the Provincial People's Council Ho Thi Thu Hang emphasized that, besides positive results, tourism development in the province is still facing many difficulties such as: tourism products are still monotonous, fragmented, and unattractive despite the great potential and room for growth; human resources in the tourism sector are still lacking and weak; tourism infrastructure has not been invested in proportionately, not attractive to investors.
Although community tourism sites in Huong Hoa district have developed rapidly in recent times, they have not yet received support according to the resolution; environmental sanitation at these tourist sites has not been ensured.

Innovate tourism practices, develop unique tourism products such as developing tourism combined with real-life activities. Focus on investment promotion; increase promotion on social networking platforms. Strengthen links between tours and tourist routes to attract tourists. Develop a handbook on Quang Tri tourism.
Regarding the recommendations and proposals of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the monitoring delegation received, synthesized and submitted them to the Provincial People's Council for resolution according to its authority.
