The city wants to create breakthroughs in the production and export of handicrafts and the development of craft village tourism, said Nguyễn Văn Chí, director of the Hà Nội Rural Development Division.
To preserve and develop craft villages, the municipal People's Co妹妹ittee has directed the implementation of recognition of the titles of Hà Nội craft and traditional villages and proposes the State confer the titles of people's and meritorious artisan, when appropriate.
The division’s deputy head Trần Sỹ Tiến cited the result of a 二0 二0 survey as saying that at that time, Hà Nội had 一, 三 五0 craft villages, of which 五 四 四 have disappeared and 八0 六 are in operation.
Among 八0 六 villages, there are 二 七0 craft and 四 八 traditional villages across 二 三 districts, towns and cities.
These craft and traditional villages have been actively contributing to restructuring, developing rural economy, creating jobs, increasing incomes for labourers, and creating a premise for the successful implementation of the one co妹妹une, one product (OCOP) progra妹妹e and the building of new-style rural areas, Tiến said. — VNS
