In the current context of globalization, the development of cultural industry is becoming a strategic task of the country. And Ao Dai, as an intangible cultural heritage, is playing an important role in this strategy. This is a testament to the ability to transform cultural heritage into economic development resources, in line with the orientation of the Party and State on building and developing Vietnam's cultural industry.

Preserving and promoting the value of the Ao Dai is not only a responsibility to the past but also an investment for the future. When the Ao Dai is placed in the context of cultural industry development, we are carrying out two important tasks in parallel: both preserving national identity and creating new economic and cultural values.
