Vũ Thế Bình, Chairman of the Vietnam Tourism Association (VITA), said provinces should strengthen regional cooperation by developing integrated tourism routes linking Hà Nội, Quảng Ninh, Hải Phòng, Ninh Bình and neighbouring localities such as Hưng Yên and Bắc Ninh. Such cooperation would create complementary tourism products instead of isolated competition.
Vietnam is combining community-led preservation with digital technology to safeguard one of the traditional harvest rituals of the Ba Na ethnic minority, reflecting a broader effort to protect intangible cultural heritage while supporting sustainable tourism and cultural development.
Bắc Ninh is accelerating the digitalisation of cultural heritage while refining solutions for sustainable tourism development linked with digital transformation and more effective use of traditional cultural values.
