As a sponsor in terms of promoting the image of Hue Festival for the previous seven seasons, Mr. Le Duc Ton, Director of Le Nguyen Advertising and Interior Decoration Private Enterprise, informed that this year, the company supports the festival in promoting at airports throughout the country.
Organizing the festival in series of four seasons is a very effective new direction for Hue. When holding the activities all year round, the load on services will be reduced, creating stimulus waves to attract customers. Although it will cost more money because the frequency of promotion increases and is carried out many times, the company is still committed to accompanying on promoting the festival, contributing to Hue's economic development from the festival.
According to the organizing committee, the goal throughout the previous festivals which was to increase the socialization were placed on top. Despite many challenges and difficulties due to the pandemic, the companionship of sponsors is still significant, showing that the festival’s attraction is still there; the brand value is still preserved; and the trust of the sponsor is still intact.

Therefore, the organizing committee is very determined to successfully organize the festival, and continue to promote the cultural bridge; thereby, the image of the sponsors will be closer to the public and visitors.
Changing the way of socialization
Along with mobilizing resources from sponsors, this year, there is a notable point in the socialization of the organizing committee, which is mobilizing businesses, organizations, and individuals to organize programs and activities. According to the organizing committee, this is a new point, and also a long-term direction in the socializing the festival, mobilizing the strength of the whole society to participate in, enriching the programs.
Many large-scale socialization programs and activities being well-invested in form and content, such as Beer Festival, Trinh Cong Son music program, food festival named "Hue - the Capital of Gastronomy with all nation localities", street food festival, hot air balloon festival, EDM music night, Sup boat race - Hue SUP RACE 2022, etc., will definitely make a reputation for Hue Festival.
According to the head of the organizing committee, now, it is quite impossible to confirm that the organization of the festival in the direction of four seasons is successful, but this is a model that matches the trend and increases the ability to attract visitors. Therefore, the organizing committee will continue to complete the organization model.
To do this, with the support of businesses, organizations, and individuals, Hue Festival 2022 must continue to affirm the spread and integration ability of a cultural festival. This festival gathers typical and unique art troupes from regions in the country and all continents to exchange and perform, attracting hundreds of thousands of domestic and international tourists to attend.
Mr. Huynh Tien Dat, Director of Hue Festival Center, Deputy Head of the organizing committee of Hue Festival 2022, added that the new approach in organizing and socializing work is to match the trend. Therefore, in the coming time, the socialization work will certainly be continued to be implemented and required to be better.
Through the festivals that were held, the reality shows that the organizing committee needs a socialization campaign. Especially, when the festival is organized in the form of four seasons, the goal is to increase the ability to attract tourists and develop the economy along with the mission to reduce the pressure on the budget; also, creating professionalism, building and creating a stable source of funding, being proactive in organizational work are what needs to be directed. On the other hand, for socialization programs, there is also supervision and control over the nature of activities, especially programs with charged tickets and revenue sources, avoiding affecting the festival's reputation.
