I thought no one would dare touch this ugly-looking beetle. But unexpectedly, Ca Nieng appeared in the list of specialties not to be missed when coming to the low-lying area. Photo: Internet If ca cuong is impressed by its pungent taste, ca cuong brings a unique nutty and rich flavor. The shape of the stick is similar to the “brother” with black wings and a small round body the size of a finger. Ninh Binh people also often call Ca Nieng “deep water”. Photo: Internet If you are a newcomer to the ancient capital, surely no one would have expected this to be a famous specialty of the ancient capital. This type of insect is not uncommon.

Roast the eggplant like shrimp and shrimp with fish sauce and salt to taste, so you have a meal to bring rice. Photo: Internet The dish is somewhat modest and popular like that, but for the villagers, there is nothing like it. Stir in a bowl of hot rice and then pick up a piece of roasted coffee, so rustic yet delicious. Each of them creates a very unique flavor but is strangely combined. The fragrant sticky rice mixes with the greasy, crunchy texture of the spice tower. Sometimes you have to “clean” a few bowls. Photo: Internet The pleasure of enjoying roasted coffee is at the end of the meal, take a piece of burnt rice for a few fish and then curl it, bite it lightly and slowly chew it, the country flavor spreads gently in the throat. Although there are countless dishes from the garden, but Ca nieng has a unique and unmistakable taste. Having the opportunity to visit the beautiful land of Ninh Binh, do not miss the opportunity to enjoy these rustic but rich local culinary culture.

Illustration. From the beginning of May 2021 up to now, due to the large-scale outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic, Ninh Binh province has announced to suspend the reception of guests at tourist sites and attractions in the province to prevent the epidemic. So 100% of boat drivers here become unemployed. Since the return of the Covid-19 epidemic, foreign tourists have not come to Vietnam for tourism, and domestic visitors have decreased. Most of the laborers working as boat drivers at Trang An eco-tourism area and Tam Coc – Bich Dong tourist area (Ninh Binh) sometimes only get one trip a month. That situation made the boatmen “cry” because their income decreased due to the absence of passengers. A boatman at Trang An boat station said that since the Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex came into operation, it has brought jobs and stable income for thousands of locals living around the heritage area. Trang An has long been a famous tourist destination of Ninh Binh, recognized by Unesco as a natural heritage and a world cultural heritage. The scenery here is made up of winding rivers flowing through limestone mountains, creating countless magical and mysterious natural caves that attract visitors. To explore Trang An, visitors will be sitting on a boat to admire the surrounding mountain nature. If in the past, there were cases in this tourist area, the whole family worked as a boat driver. Average income is 400,000-600,000 VND/day. Although the work is hard, in return for the high income, the family’s economy is getting better and better. Employees feel more secure, more attached to the job. But in the past two years, due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, tourists have dropped sharply, so income is not enough to cover life. In particular, from the beginning of May, the resort temporarily stopped accepting guests, making the life of the already difficult ferrymen even more difficult. They have to find another job to earn their daily income. Similar to Trang An eco-tourism area, Tam Coc – Bich Dong is a familiar destination that tourists definitely cannot ignore when coming to Ninh Binh. Visiting Tam Coc, visitors will be sitting on a boat, down the poetic Ngo Dong river watching the overlapping mountains and iridescent golden rice fields. Ms. Chu Thi Mo, who works as a ferry driver in Tam Coc, confided: Before, there were 6 to 8 trips a month with many tourists, 200,000 VND each. On holidays and Tet, the number of trips increases much more. But since the Covid-19 epidemic, the absence of customers is considered a loss of revenue. Strictly following the direction of the province, to temporarily close to carry out epidemic prevention work, it is estimated that at Trang An eco-tourism area and Tam Coc – Bich Dong tourist area (Ninh Binh), thousands of boatmen have to quit. Without customers, these people have to turn to other occupations to earn a living. According to statistics, at Trang An eco-tourism area and Tam Coc – Bich Dong tourist area, there are more than 3,000 people working as boat drivers. Most of them are locals. The boatmen here range in age from 18 to 60 years old. A longtime boat driver shared: “Without guests, many people are not interested in boating. They will look for jobs in garment companies, leather shoes, stone handicrafts, etc. to earn extra income. However, these companies only hire young people, and older people will not be recruited.” Thus, there will be a large number of people working as boatmen who “don’t know where to go”. According to a representative of Xuan Truong construction company, which invests and manages the two tourist resorts above, in order to reduce difficulties for workers, in 2020, the business has supported more than 3,000 ferry workers here every year. person 3 months salary. Currently, the enterprise is planning to continue to support these workers to help them overcome the immediate difficulties.

What resources support businesses?

– Minister, Vietnam tourism has determined to focus on Internal Market next time. So in your opinion, what is an overall strategy to create a common strength in exploiting this potential market?

Minister Nguyen Van Hung: The Vietnam tourism development strategy issued by the Government in 2020 has clearly affirmed the strategy of domestic tourism development. In which, priority must be given to organizing well tours and routes to areas of historical and cultural landmarks of Vietnam.

In order to implement the above policy, over the past time, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has implemented the program Vietnamese people travel to Vietnam.

There are a number of approaches, firstly, travel businesses, accommodation establishments and tourism service providers are restructuring their operations, moving from welcoming large groups of tourists, making tours / services. route to small, safe family groups.

The second is to build tourism products based on historical relics, landscapes and indigenous cultures of regions and strengthen propaganda and advertising to bring tourism products closer to citizen.

In the short term, the tourism industry should focus in these two directions. However, even though it is small-scale tourism, it is not subjective to disease prevention, minimizing the risk of infection in the community that can happen again, affecting the overall economy of the country. society.

– Tourism businesses are currently extremely difficult after the continuous “blows” of COVID-19, so the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has proposed solutions to the Government to have policies Supporting businesses to have more health “overcoming storms” and entering a new phase of the tourism industry is to focus on exploiting the domestic market, Minister?

However, it will only focus on the issue of mechanism, but in fact the State’s resources are also very difficult to immediately support the activities of tourism businesses. Therefore, the Government is studying a plan to support in the direction of exemption and reduction of land use tax and electricity bill exemption and reduction.

As for long-term policies, the ministry needs to listen from the business community and the State appraisal agencies to submit to the Government a basic and balanced policy among other economic sectors.

Central solution in the context of “new normal”

– In 2020, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has implemented many domestic stimulus campaigns such as Vietnamese traveling to Vietnam, safe and attractive Vietnam tourism … So in the context of “new normal. “In 2021, according to the Minister of the tourism industry, should such campaigns continue? How do you evaluate the effectiveness of those stimulus programs?

These campaigns have shown to initially meet the needs of people, contributing to domestic tourism growth. I think that these campaign models have been working and are being promoted, they need to continue to be strengthened and multiplied, because the reality is only piloted in a few localities.

To restore and develop tourism, we have to travel on both feet, focusing on welcoming international visitors and giving priority to developing domestic tourism. Only when standing with this “two legs” will tourism develop stably.

Recently, due to the “hot” development, we are paying attention to exploiting the number of international tourists but not paying much attention to domestic tourism. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic forced the entire industry and business community to re-look at this open market, to see that domestic tourism is a radical direction and a pillar for sustainable tourism development. firm.

Therefore, the ministry has suggested businesses to restructure, change their approach, instead of focusing on international visitors, now focus on building plans to welcome domestic guests; shifting from serving foreign guests to serving domestic customers. As such, Vietnamese customers will inherit and experience high-value products that are intended for international customers.

As the data we know, on this 30/4 holiday, airlines have sold out tickets to many destinations across the country … Thereby to see that the domestic tourism demand of the people is quite high. The problem is that we need to create a unique product, pay attention to marketing and learn from the stimulus package first to achieve high efficiency and sustainability.

– So to build strong Vietnam tourism in a new context, according to the Minister, what solutions should the Minister focus on?

Minister Nguyen Van Hung: It can be said that the tourism industry is facing many difficulties. If tourism previously contributed 10% of the country’s GDP to the budget, from 2020 to Q1 / 2021, revenue from the whole industry decreased deeply; Last quarter 1, domestic tourists only reached nearly 18 million, down up to 50% over the same period last year …

From there, the tourism industry is facing difficulties because COVID-19 is still complicated. In particular, Vietnam has not yet been able to open its international market due to the lack of safety measures against epidemics.

We believe that the State management task is to develop a tourism development plan for the period 2021-2026 under new normal conditions and with the solution groups that we are focusing on building.

First, the tourism businesses, especially Travelers it is necessary to restructure soon, have solutions to manage human resources and resources; The second is to research the domestic market, restructure the tourist market to regulate the market, build products to meet the needs and the strategy must be long-term calculated for the development of the domestic tourism market. geography.

Third, tourism linkage must be based on special, distinctive and attractive tourism products and promote promotion and promotion. Branding products, connecting the values ​​and spreading the values ​​of the product to stimulate tourism demand of visitors; The fourth is to associate tourism, tourism products with cultural factors.
