Hanoi named as host of Vietnam Tourism and Cultural Heritage Festival

Ahead of the event, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has assigned the Vietnam Cultural Arts Exhibition Center to co-ordinate alongside relevant units in order to organise the festival as part of a range of activities to mark the Vietnam Cultural Heritage Day (November 23).

The Vietnam Tourism and Cultural Heritage Festival 2019 promises to introduce guests to the unique cultural heritage values of Vietnam, with a particular emphasis being placed on globally renowned UNESCO-recognised heritage sites.

The event will provide a platform for a variety of regions from across the nation to introduce and promote their local culture, trade and tourism potential, whilst also serving to strengthen connectivity in a bid to boost tourism development.

This year's festival will see the participation of a number of cities and localities including Hanoi, Thua Thien Hue, Da Nang, Quang Ngai, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, and Ho Chi Minh City.
