Pham Van Thieu, Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, said visitor volume increased 10-fold during the festivals.
“The festivals were successful in introducing and promoting local culture and tourism, honoring the national cultural values represented by intangible cultural heritages recognized by UNESCO, and attracting investment to drive Bac Lieu’s economic development,” said Thieu.
Bac Lieu is a leading locality in the Mekong Delta in organizing inter-regional events to promote local brands and images.
