In recent times, the People's Committee of Quang Tri province has issued many programs and plans to develop local culture, sports and tourism; strengthen tourism cooperation and linkage with other provinces in the region; access resources from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to support investment in culture, sports and tourism in a focused and key direction.

In particular, we have been focusing on implementing 2 projects to restore and embellish the Quang Tri Ancient Citadel National Special Monument and the Hien Luong - Ben Hai River Delta Special Monument under the Program for Preserving and Promoting the Values ​​of Vietnam's Cultural Heritage in the 2021 - 2030 period with a total investment from the central budget of 170 billion VND; projects to preserve and promote the fine traditional cultural values ​​of ethnic minorities associated with tourism development under the National Target Program for Socio-Economic Development of Ethnic Minorities and Mountainous Areas in the 2021 - 2025 period and many other programs and projects in the fields of Culture, Sports and Tourism...

Regarding the projects to restore and embellish the Quang Tri Ancient Citadel and the Hien Luong - Ben Hai River Relics, the implementation process has been delayed due to objective and subjective difficulties.

At the meeting, Acting Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Ha Sy Dong said that the reason for the slow disbursement of the above two projects was due to some bottlenecks in planning and heritage laws, bidding, budget... The Provincial People's Committee committed to the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism to continue to urge and direct investors to deploy and complete the projects on schedule.

Acting Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Ha Sy Dong also proposed that the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism pay attention to and support the province in investing in the construction of the National Museum Investment Project "Memories of War and Aspiration for Peace" with a total proposed budget of 1,000 billion VND and implementing the project in the period of 2026 - 2030.

In the context that Quang Tri is a particularly difficult locality, with the central government providing up to 70% budget support, it is recommended that the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism report and recommend that the Government and the Prime Minister agree not to provide counterpart funding but to have a mechanism and priority solutions to allocate 100% of the budget to Quang Tri province to ensure resources for implementing the National Target Program on Cultural Development for the period 2025 - 2030.

We propose that the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism pay attention to guiding and supporting the province in establishing a dossier for the special national relic "Gio An ancient water exploitation system, Quang Tri province", and at the same time support Quang Tri province in determining the value and researching and establishing a scientific dossier "Gio An ancient water exploitation system" to propose UNESCO to recognize it as a world cultural heritage.

Proposing to build a memorial temple for heroic martyrs in Quang Tri province to serve as a common memorial place for people and visitors when coming to Quang Tri.

We request the Ministry to pay attention to supporting and investing in upgrading and restoring the Sac Tu Pagoda because this project has seriously degraded; invest in completing the traffic infrastructure, residential areas, commercial services, and accommodation outside the La Vang Pilgrimage Center to attract and develop tourism because these are places that attract a large number of visitors and pilgrims every year.

Concluding the meeting, Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Nguyen Van Hung acknowledged that Quang Tri province has successfully organized many important, large-scale cultural, sports and tourism events in recent times, contributing to promoting the province's image widely on the national and international levels.

The Minister suggested that in the coming time, the province needs to study and plan a more fundamental and synchronous system of cultural, sports and tourism institutions. Focus on clearly identifying distinct potentials, putting them into competitive advantages, and building brands for relics and cultural heritages (tangible and intangible culture, and human knowledge) of great stature.

Specific suggestions include the possibility of in-depth research on the human intelligence that built the Vinh Moc Tunnels system; the Gio An ancient water exploitation system... to create attractiveness and attract tourists. Regarding the National Museum of "Memories of War and Aspiration for Peace", it is recommended that the province propose the use of public investment capital and the necessary consulting unit of world-class stature.

The province needs to develop a project to propose to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to upgrade the Festival for Peace to the national level; pay attention to building grassroots cultural life from villages, hamlets and neighborhoods. Regarding tourism development, it is necessary to create unique, typical products with competitive advantages.

The province can research and register to build a model of the world's best tourism development village and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is ready to accompany and support if the province is determined. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism also acknowledges and will consider and resolve other recommendations of Quang Tri province according to its authority.
