Effectively exploiting weekend tourism activities in Con Son - Kiep Bac

easier to connect tourist routes and destinations in the province with the general tourist route and destination system of localities in the tourist center of Hanoi and its vicinity in particular and the Northern tourist region in general.

Linking with Hai Duong, Hanoi will have the opportunity to expand its tourism space to serve the entertainment and weekend needs of the capital's residents, which are currently very large. Especially when the weekend tourist destinations around Hanoi have become too familiar, bringing tourists to a new tourist destination like Con Son - Kiep Bac will create attraction for tourists.

In previous years, the tourism development linkage between Hai Duong and Hanoi was very vague and there were no specific activities. Some tourist attractions of Hai Duong such as Hong Phong water puppet village, Chu Dau pottery village, etc. on the Hanoi - Hai Phong and Hanoi - Quang Ninh tourist routes were exploited by some Hanoi travel companies and included in their tours spontaneously.

Therefore, it is necessary to coordinate and propose measures to develop tourism in the two localities. In the future, the connection between Hai Duong and Hanoi will be very important for the tourism development of the area, commensurate with the position determined in the organization of Vietnam's territory. The connection between Hai Duong and Hanoi in tourism development will be important not only for tourism development but also for the socio-economic development of the two localities.

In order to establish and promote tourism cooperation between Hai Duong and Hanoi, in the coming time, it is necessary to pay attention to implementing the following issues: Organizing a number of forums to exchange and unify perceptions on the need for cooperation in tourism development between Hai Duong and Hanoi. Based on the consensus on perceptions, viewpoints and cooperation principles, both sides will work together to build a specific action program to gradually put the cooperation into practice.

First of all, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Hai Duong province should coordinate with the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Hanoi in providing information on tourist attractions, planning maps, projects calling for investment... creating all conditions for investors to come.

survey and invest to build specific tourism products in Hai Duong; propose projects and locations that need investment in Hai Duong to help Hanoi companies participate in investment; create all conditions for Hanoi tourism businesses to bring tourists to Hai Duong; continue to promote the construction and constantly improve the quality of activities of tourist areas, cultural, historical, ecological tourist destinations... where Hai Duong province has strengths to welcome visitors from Hanoi. The two localities need to cooperate to build a number of 1-2 day tourism programs focusing on eco-tourism, resorts, weekends, visiting historical sites, and festivals to bring tourists to Hai Duong. During the cooperation process, Hanoi needs to promote Hai Duong tourism in Hanoi's promotional programs in international and domestic markets. With its position as the political, economic, scientific, and technical center of the whole country, Hanoi is a locality with potential for investment, research, and training. This is the limitation of Hai Duong tourism at this time. Therefore, the connection between Hai Duong and Hanoi will allow Hai Duong to receive support in investment in developing tourism technical infrastructure, developing tourism products, training and developing tourism human resources and preserving cultural and historical values in Hai Duong.

3.3 Recommendations for Hai Duong Provincial People's Committee and Local Government:

Faced with the current situation of the quality of technical facilities and infrastructure serving tourism still facing many limitations, lacking synchronization and not meeting the needs of the tourist market, the ability to attract tourists to Con Son - Kiep Bac in recent years has decreased. Therefore, the Provincial People's Committee and local authorities need to focus more on investing, first of all, in capital to build new technical facilities and tourism infrastructure, then renovate and upgrade synchronously according to the re-planning of the infrastructure system, technical facilities for tourism that have been and are at risk of degradation.

In the master plan of Con Son - Kiep Bac, it is necessary to attach importance to the development of human resources for tourism development. Sustainably maintain the quality and quantity of labor serving in the tourism industry. Train tourism management staff of the State.

water on tourism management skills and content related to tourism development.

It is required to have a specific human resource development plan from training and development policies, as well as reward and punishment regimes to maximize the capacity, love of the job, and hospitality of the workforce in the industry.

Mobilize economic sectors to actively participate in contributing efforts and money, mainly for the preservation and restoration of cultural and historical relics, protection of tourism resources and environment, and organization of cultural service business activities for tourism.

* Con Son - Kiep Bac tourism is increasingly developing and attracting a large number of tourists to visit and learn. Previously, this place was mainly known as a spiritual tourist destination, a cultural and festival tourist destination, but now it is being exploited to become an attractive weekend tourist destination. Therefore, the Provincial Party Committee, local authorities, and the relic site management board need to coordinate to come up with a reasonable investment and exploitation direction so that it can both develop and not lose the inherent beauty and value of the relic site.

CONCLUDE

Weekend tourism is and will be a type of regular short-term tourism that tends to develop in our country along with the process of urbanization, industrialization, and modernization. The demand for weekend tourism of residents, especially urban residents and those working in urban areas and industrial zones, also increases with the number of visitors in the market.

The Con Son – Kiep Bac area has great potential for weekend tourism. However, the exploitation of weekend tourism activities here is not effective. This causes waste of resources.

In fact, the technical and material conditions and infrastructure for tourism are still poor in both quantity and quality. Weekend tourism products are still monotonous and do not create a unique impression on tourists. Therefore, the number of weekend visitors here is not high, the length of stay is short and business efficiency is still too low.

To promote the effectiveness of weekend tourism activities in Con Son - Kiep Bac to bring maximum efficiency in tourism business, it is necessary to implement solutions on overall planning, embellishment, protection and exploitation of tourism resources to create unique weekend tourism products. Investing in technical infrastructure to serve the development of tourism activities while actively promoting and advertising the relic is also a feasible solution to attract domestic and foreign tourists.

In the process of writing the thesis, with the limitations of the author's knowledge and research ability, the limited time and documents... the thesis cannot avoid shortcomings. Therefore, the author hopes to receive the help and comments of teachers, friends... so that the thesis can be more complete and can expand the limited understanding of the author himself.
