Contributing ideas to honor craft village products

The Handicraft Product Design Contest 2023 award ceremony was held on December 27th, and this year's entries showcased innovative features.

Many craft villages have crossed the boundary of "self-sufficiency" and successfully commercialized their products. More specially, the famous craft villages of Thua Thien Hue can also develop tourism.

Thua Thien Hue is one of the 12 localities assigned the task of actively selecting suitable night tourism models, with the goal by 2030 to establish Vietnam's night-tourism-product brand. Choosing which products for night tourism to avoid duplication among regions and to reflect the characteristics of each locality is an issue that should be taken into careful consideration.

On September 29, Hue University held a Kick-off conference of the incubation program to commercialize science and technology products.

Promoting the potential and unique identity of each locality to build tourism products is a right direction. However, in the context of great challenges, a movement is required for tourist destinations to survive and develop, which need to change their approaches and perspectives in term of development so as to attract visitors.
