The tourism sector is still monotonous, the quality of services is not high; there is a lack of large-scale entertainment areas, modern shopping and shopping centers to meet the increasingly diverse needs of tourists. Land encroachment, illegal construction, environmental pollution in some clusters and industrial parks still occur in many localities...
At the session, the Provincial People's Council will discuss and give opinions on many important issues such as the results of socio-economic development in the first 6 months of the year and solutions for the last 6 months of the year; especially the contents related to budget revenue and expenditure, public investment, administrative reform, digital transformation and social security.
