The project will promote specific values of ethnic minority culture among the public, and raise awareness and a sense of responsibility for protecting and preserving national traditions.

The provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism will compile a repertoire of songs, music and dance traditionally performed by ethnic minority communities in the province by 2025.

It will also focus on turning folk songs, dance and music into the province’s signature tourism products in order to enhance socio-economic development in ethnic minority areas.

Furthermore, the department will train cultural officers, teachers and folk artists to manage and promote traditional performing arts.

In the 2026-30 period, agencies will prepare dossiers for consideration and conferment of “People’s Artists” and “Meritorious Artist” titles for artisans from ethnic minority communities.

40,000 from more than 30 ethnic minority communities live in Binh Thuan province./.
