He said that tourism development should be associated with preserving cultural and historical values to educate the tradition while promoting national cultural identity.
He noted that tourism development should be linked with the implementation of the national target programmes on hunger eradication and poverty reduction, as well as the development of mountainous ethnic minority areas and new-style rural building.
Hue said that he expects localities to coordinate with the Government, ministries and agencies in accelerating the implementation of socio-economic development recovery programmes, including those supporting businesses and workers in the tourism sector.
He hoped that the club members would continue to contribute ideas to fine-tune institutions, policies and decisions of the National Assembly to make them closer to reality.
