Kotam tourist site: An example of integrating ecological tourism and local cultural identity

January 15, 2021 by en.nhandan.org.vn

Located nine kilometres from the centre of Buon Ma Thuot city, Kontam tourist site is an attractive destination for tourists, particularly at weekends and public holidays.

Covering a total area of 17 hectares and hosting magnificent hills, mountains, waterfalls, springs, valleys, and accommodation facilities imbued with the typical culture and architecture of the E De ethnic group, Kotam welcomes more than 400,000 tourists every year.

According to Deputy Director of Dak Lak provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism Dang Gia Duan, the launch of the Kontam tourist site has contributed to preserving and promoting the distinct culture of the Central Highlanders while reducing poverty and generating income for local ethnic minority people.

The successful tourism model was made possible thanks to a joint effors of a group of five female entrepreneurs five years ago. They are Nguyen Thi Ngoc Anh, Nguyen Thi Hue, Nguyen Thi Phuc Minh, Vu Thi Xoan and Doan Uyen Thao, directors of five companies operating in trading, processing and exporting agricultural products, honey and mechanical equipment.

The quintet are also enthusiastic members of the Dak Lak Female Entrepreneurs club, headed by Nguyen Thi Ngoc Anh, which has actively participated in charity activities in the locality.

They came up with the idea of building a model which can help locals reduce poverty in a sustainable way. The Kotam ecological site was born, surrounded by the E De ethnic people’s villages, including Pak, Kotam, Krong A, and Krong B.

As the owner of Quang Anh Trade Ltd. Co, one of the top companies with the highest revenues in Dak Lak, Nguyen Thi Ngoc Anh was appointed the Director of the Kontam Community-based Tourism Joint Stock Company.

Not long after its launch, the Kontam company had attracted 35 members from the Dak Lak Female Entrepreneursclub , who poured a large investment into the construction of the tourist site.

According to Ngoc Anh, from the beginning, the project team has kept in mind that the ultimate goal of the project is to protect the environment and pristine beauty of the natural landscape while honouring the cultural identity of the Central Highlanders.

Therefore, the traditional long stilt houses of the E De ethnic people were constructed at the site and all staff members at the site wear an E De ethnic brocade uniform.

Thanks to its amazing scenery and landscapes, Kotam quickly became an alluring tourist complex for visitors from across the country.

Nguyen Thi Hue, a member of the Board of Directors of Kotam Community-based Tourism Joint Stock Company, said that the tourist site has the huge advantage of food self-sufficiency, providing tourists with a fresh and clean source of vegetables, meat, and fruit.

Visitors to the site can taste the delicious indigenous dishes of the Central Highlanders, including papaya flowers cooked with fish, grilled snakehead fish, pork grilled in bamboo tubes, and chicken salad with banana flowers.

When the COVID-19 pandemic saw complicated developments in the province, Kotam staff members donated quintals of vegetables to those working at the front lines against the pandemic.

In an effort to welcome back vacationers in the post-COVID-19 period, the tourist site has coordinated with training facilities on tourism services, hotels and restaurants to improve the skills of staff members.

Promotional activities have also been launched to further advertise the site to travel agencies and tourist companies.

Built with both enthusiasm and love for the homeland of the five female entrepreneurs, the Kotam tourist site has contributed to upholding traditional culture as well as boosting socio-economic development in Dak Lak province.

February 25, 2021 by dtinews.vn

Authorities in Bac Giang Province have proposed to upgrade a military airport to a joint-use airport to serve civilian planes.

Bac Giang, Lang Son and some adjacent provinces mostly use Noi Bai Airport in Hanoi. However, as Noi Bai Airport is becoming more overcrowded, when being asked for opinions on the master plan for airport development during the 2021-2030 period, Bac Giang authorities have proposed to turn Kep Airport into a joint-use airport for both military and civil aviation.

Bac Giang Department of Transport asked the Ministry of Transport to research the issue and submit the project to the prime minister. Kep Airport is located in Huong Giang Commune.

According to Bac Giang authorities, the northern region has three major airports including Noi Bai, Hai Phong and Van Don. However, as the travel demands increase in the future, a new airport or airport upgrade is necessary. Especially with plans to attract more FDI investments for the industry and tourism sector development. The demands for transporting goods to Lang Son Border Gate also has increased greatly so a new airport may be able to create a breakthrough for the local economy.

“Noi Bai Airport is over 150km from Lang Son and some remote areas in Bac Giang. It’s better to have a closer airport,” Bac Giang Department of Transport suggested.

The master plan for airport development during the 2021-2030 period, with a view to 2050, proposed by the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam aims to have 26 airports in total by 2030. There will be 14 international airports and 12 domestic airports. Five key airports will be Noi Bai, Tan Son Nhat, Danang, Cam Ranh and Long Thanh.

The total number of airports have been reduced by two compared to the airport development plan to 2020 with a view to 2030. The two airports, Na San and Lai Chau will be built after 2030.

By 2050, Vietnam will have 30 airports including 15 international airports. The plan to build a second airport for Hanoi is estimated to be started in 2040 when the demands are high.
