The commune has a policy of turning the organic rice area, combined with raising earthworms and clams in the village into a rural tourist destination, which is truly beneficial for both sides.
It was pouring rain, so the delegates could not visit the fields and had to gather at the cultural house to see some booths displaying organic rice products brought by a Hanoi company. Mrs. Loan did not have to look after her grandchildren today, so she came to the hall early in the morning. Taking the opportunity to see a series of products made from her hometown rice, she exclaimed:
- Their businesses are really good! For a long time, our people only knew how to harvest rice, grind it to eat, and then grind it into flour to make noodles and cakes. But processing and packaging it into rice water and rice cakes and selling them on the market like this is something we have not been able to do.
- I see they don't throw anything away. Look at this, the basket is woven from dry straw that we only know how to use for boiling or burning. Looking at each bunch of straw woven so delicately into the basket, no one would believe it was made from rice plants in our hometown, right? - Mrs. Hoa said to Mrs. Loan.
Seeing Mrs. Loan and Mrs. Hoa talking animatedly, Mr. Hoan, Party Cell Secretary and Village Chief excitedly said:
- My commune is gradually changing the way we do agriculture. Not only cooperating with businesses to consume organic rice, the commune leaders also want our people to develop tourism.
Hearing Mr. Hoan speak, the villagers gathered around to listen. Mrs. Loan asked:
- How to develop tourism? Tell me.
- The commune has a policy of turning the organic rice fields, combined with the farming of earthworms and clams, into rural tourist destinations. Each farmer is a tour guide. Their own houses can become restaurants and accommodation for guests. The skillful ones can even cook for guests.
- When will it be implemented and how will it be implemented? - Mrs. Hoa wondered.
- I heard that the commune has submitted a project, the district is considering approval, it will probably be implemented soon. As for how to do it, the higher-ups will come back to guide. You just need to grasp the policy. First of all, each person must be aware of preserving the landscape, protecting the environment and cultivating sustainably. We will enjoy a green, clean, beautiful living environment first, then we can develop tourism to make money, isn't that a win-win situation? Mr. Hoan said.
- You're right. Those products made from organic rice from our hometown can also be sold to tourists as gifts - Mrs. Loan shared her idea.
- That's a good idea. Our village has beautiful scenery and many delicious dishes, tourists will definitely like it. In recent years, the festival of rice and bamboo worms has attracted many tourists to our hometown. The other day, I saw groups of foreign tourists visiting our hometown. Who knows, they might come back to experience many other services of the village - Ms. Hoa added.
- That is also a way to help our commune become an attractive rural tourist destination. If you have any good ideas, please suggest them so I can report them to the commune leaders. If everyone has an idea, the policy of developing rural tourist destinations will soon become a reality - Mr. Hoan said.
