Technology is also a solution to bridge the gap between regions, creating conditions for people in remote areas and ethnic minority communities to have easier access to essential services, expanding opportunities for economic development and improving their quality of life.
Commune officials and community digital technology teams are guiding residents of Ba Be commune in using digital platforms, gradually integrating technological conveniences into their lives.
Technology opens new paths to mountainous regions.
After the merger, Thai Nguyen province has a large geographical area and possesses many potentials for tourism development with a unique system of resources such as the Dinh Hoa and Cho Don Revolutionary Bases, Nui Coc Lake, Ba Be Lake, tea culture, and the identity of ethnic groups in the Viet Bac region. These are advantages for the province to form a chain of inter-regional tourism products, creating more jobs and livelihoods for the people.
Meanwhile, in many northern localities of the province, socio-economic development conditions remain challenging.
Bringing advancements in science and technology, especially digital utilities, closer to the people is opening up new avenues for exploiting potential and improving lives. In Ba Be commune, a mountainous area where over 98% of the population are ethnic minorities, digital transformation is gradually becoming present in production, business activities, and daily work.
In the tourism sector, the use of the internet and digital platforms helps businesses in the Ba Be Lake area proactively reach customers. Instead of mainly waiting for customers to find them or relying on traditional referral channels, many homestay owners have learned to use social media to promote the scenery, accommodation services, and local tourism products.
