The exhibition will be part of activities to celebrate the Vietnam Cultural Heritage Day (November 23) and to mark the 10th anniversary of Vi-Giam folk singing being recognised by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity.
It aims to honour the values of tangible and intangible cultural heritage, relic sites and landscapes of Vietnam as well as affirm the potential for cultural tourism development, creating a strong impetus for tourism development, and enhancing the image and prestige of the country and its people.
Additionally, it will introduce traditional handicraft products from industrial and handicraft villages in the regions and encourages the creativity of artisans, thereby promoting the potential of craft village tourism and expanding relationships among craft villages and boosting their international economic integration.
Diverse activities such as an exhibition on cultural characteristics of Vietnam’s ethnic groups and an Ao dai show, an exhibition on calligraphy works on lotus and President Ho Chi Minh’s poems, will be held.
Tourism potential and special products of 20 localities across Vietnam will also be promoted, along with a Vietnam handicraft products competition./.
