Special cooperation between Hue and Da Nang
On August 1, Hai Van Quan relic, located at the top of Hai Van pass , officially opened to welcome visitors after 3 years of closure for restoration under a cooperation project between the localities of Hue and Da Nang.
Hai Van Quan, also known as "The first majestic gate in the world", is an important historical site located on the Hai Van mountain range, between Thua Thien-Hue province and Da Nang city.
Built in the 19th century, Hai Van Quan is not only a strategic defense point but also a symbol of the majesty and poetry of Vietnam's nature. With a prime location, Hai Van Quan has witnessed many historical events and is a witness to the ups and downs of the country.
The restoration and reopening of Hai Van Quan is not just the effort of one party but the result of cooperation between the two localities of Hue and Da Nang. This is the first time these two localities have worked together on an inter-regional relic restoration project. This cooperation demonstrates the strategic vision and determination of both provinces and cities in preserving and promoting cultural heritage values, contributing to promoting sustainable tourism development.
The reopening of Hai Van Quan not only aims to preserve historical values but also opens up opportunities to develop inter-regional tourism in Hue - Da Nang, positively impacting the economy and society of both localities.
Developing tourism will create many job opportunities, promote service industries and contribute to improving people's lives. Local businesses will also have opportunities to grow as the number of visitors increases.
Still need more "handshakes".
Thua Thien - Hue and Da Nang "joined hands" with unexpected success in restoring and embellishing the Hai Van Quan relic.
"It is a clear demonstration of the cohesion and determination of the two localities", as said by Mr. Le Trung Chinh - Chairman of Da Nang City People's Committee. However, at this point, these two localities still need to have more "handshakes" in jointly promoting the value and effectively exploiting this relic "to also create economic and cultural values." sustainable for both localities", as affirmed by Mr. Le Trung Chinh.
Hai Van Quan is expected to become a new highlight in the journey to explore the Central region, where visitors can learn about history, culture and admire the majestic natural beauty.
To effectively exploit this relic, Hue and Da Nang have planned to build connecting tours, creating unique and attractive experiences for tourists such as: Developing inter-regional tours; Building infrastructure and tourism services ; Strengthen advertising and promotion of tourism at home and abroad...
However, unlike the restoration project, the upcoming joint tourism "project" will certainly face significant challenges for both localities, especially in terms of effective joint management. fruit. Because Vietnam used to have many relics and cultural heritages that were jointly exploited by localities such as Ha Long Bay - Cat Ba of Quang Ninh and Hai Phong; The national conservation area belongs to two localities: Bac Kan and Cao Bang. In the world, there are transnational heritages that are jointly exploited such as: Ganges River basin area (India and Bangladesh); Alsace-Lorraine border area (France and Germany)…
Unfortunately, there are no notable lessons for Hue and Da Nang in the story of jointly exploiting tourism in Hai Van Quan. Because Ha Long, Hai Phong, Bac Kan, and Cao Bang, although they have long been "inter-regional" in terms of heritage, each locality has an independent management board, unrelated to each other. Being transnational is even more complicated because of differences in political regimes and economic policies... Without an optimal management plan, Hai Van Quan can easily fall into the trap of "no one cries for common father". or ineffective exploitation after opening to welcome guests.
Still hoping that the opening of Hai Van Quan is just the first step in the Hue - Da Nang inter-regional tourism development strategy. With close cooperation as well as the determination and strategic vision of the leaders, these two localities can continue to exploit other cultural and natural heritages to create unique and attractive tourism products. attractive!
