Forest ranger Ba Trại checks plants with Dao locals. — Photo hanoimoi.com.vn Viet Nam News HÀ NỘI — Located 48km west of the capital city Hà Nội, the serene forest of Ba Vì National Park contains a world of greenery and peace away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Once a forbidden forest, Ba Vì National Park is now open to nature-lovers and travel-addicts to explore. Fifth-grader Trần Lê Sơn Tùng and his friends from Ban Mai Primary School in Hà Nội went on an eye-opening school trip to visit the park. Tùng and his classmates marveled at the magnificent scenery they saw for the first time with the guidance of a forest ranger, whom they called a “forest police.” Thanks to the “forest police,” the children enjoyed their experience and learned about the charming mountainous area. Yet it would be a terrible mistake to view Ba Vì National Park no more than a pretty, large green park.

With such a large number of pigs together, if one catches an infectious disease, it would be a disaster for the farm. Thanh said he went extra mile to prevent his pigs from getting sick. “Every pig will have vaccinations for as many kinds of diseases as possible from the beginning.

NA Standing Committee members mull tourism bill (24-02-2005) HA NOI — The law on tourism should tap the strengths of all economic sectors to create a modern and dynamic tourism market, National Assembly deputy chairman Nguyen Phuc Thanh has said. He was speaking at a meeting yesterday, chaired by another deputy chairman Truong Quang Duoc, where members of the National Standing Committee considered a draft tourism law. Explaining the need for such a law, Duoc said its predecessor, the Tourism Ordinance, had outlived its usefulness. Though, since being enacted in May 1999, the ordinance had made significant contributions to the national budget and tourism activities, many of its provisions were no longer appropriate, he said. A law was required to provide a legal foundation for the development of the industry, Duoc said. After the director general of the Viet Nam National Tourism Administration (VNAT) Vo Thi Thang presented the draft law and head of the National … [Read more...] about NA Standing Committee members mull tourism bill
