Hue Festival 2020 to be delayed

The people lining up in a long procession solemnly bringing the Holy Mother through the central streets of Hue city created a colorful, but dignified and reverent sight. On both sides of the road, tourists and Hue people stood watching attentively, because it has been a long time since such an event has been held.

On November 12th, Dr. Phan Thanh Hai, Director of the Department of Culture and Sports, said that after the meeting to review the coordination in organizing the 22th Vietnam Film Festival by the Provincial People's Committee, the Department of Culture and Sports proposed the Organizing Committee of the 22th Vietnam Film Festival to adjust a number of activities to suit the current situation.

This was the affirmation Mr. Truong Cong Lan, Director of the provincial branch of Vietnam Bank for Social Policies (VBSP), made during his interview with Thua Thien Hue Newspaper on the implementation of policies to support employers taking out loans to pay salaries for work layoff or restore production.

With the province’s great stimulus policies, many tours have been exploited during Hue Festival 2020 which is also an appropriate time for tourists to visit Hue and be immersed in this biennial festival.

The People's Committee of Thua Thien Hue Province has recently agreed to adjust the time to organize Hue Festival 2020. The festival will take place from August 26 to August 31, 2020, which is 2 days sooner than the before schedule (from August 28 to September 2).
