The Da Nang Women’s Union officially launched the ‘Ao Dai Week’ 2021 in the city on Monday.
The event aimed to celebrate the 91st birthday of the Viet Nam Women’s Union and 111th anniversary of the International Women’s Day (8 March).

Also at the event, more than 200 members from dance sports clubs across Da Nang wearing ‘Ao dai’ teamed up for a flash mob performance.

The intention is to honor the beauty and value of Ao dai in social life, as well as raise public awareness and uphold their pride and responsibility in preserving and promoting the precious traditional costume regarded as Viet Nam’s national cultural heritage.

‘Ao dai’ is suitable for all ages. It has become the standard costume on formal occasions, national holidays, weddings, Lunar New Year Festival, and others.

The traditional costume of Viet Nam has also made a great contribution to promoting the image of Vietnamese women around the world. (By THANH TINH – Translated by M.D).

Vietnam eyes building national cultural tourism brand

 

Cultural tourism has become increasingly attractive to both domestic and international tourists over recent years and contributed to the tourism sector’s sustainable development.

Vietnam was recently named a Leading Heritage Destination, a Leading Cultural Destination, and a Leading Culinary Destination of Asia at the prestigious World Travel Awards (WTA) 2020.

It was the second consecutive year Vietnam was honoured in the three categories, confirming that culture, heritage, and cuisine are key factors bringing international titles to local tourism.

The project will be developed by VNAT’s Tourism Market Department based on planning and international experience in national brand building and development, with a focus on the two strongest fields of heritage and cuisine.

Cultural tourism is set to account for 15-20 percent of the 40 billion USD in tourism revenue earned annually by 2030. By 2025 and with a vision to 2030, Vietnam will boast many special, high-quality cultural tourism products that appeal to domestic and international tourists.

The tourism sector will concentrate on promoting the national brand for cultural tourism, supporting the development of heritage and culinary tourism products, and revamping policies encouraging heritage and culinary tourism./.
