Many cultural heritages are honored
On the evening of June 4, Khanh Hoa Salanganes Nest State-owned One Member Limited Liability Company (Khanh Hoa Salanganes Nest Company) coordinated with the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism (VH-TT-DL) to organize the Ceremony to honor the national cultural heritage of Khanh Hoa Salanganes Nest. The ceremony took place solemnly, attracting the attention of provincial leaders, many people and those directly involved in the exploitation and processing of salanganes nests. Having 2 cultural heritages related to the salanganes nest profession included in the List of national intangible cultural heritages has demonstrated the attention and efforts of those working in cultural work, Khanh Hoa Salanganes Nest Company and the community. According to Mr. Nguyen Tan Tuan - Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee at the ceremony: "Knowledge of exploiting and processing bird's nests; Khanh Hoa Bird's Nest Festival being included in the List of National Intangible Cultural Heritage by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is an honor and pride, and at the same time affirms the increasingly solid role and position of the traditional brand of Khanh Hoa Bird's Nest, worthy of being a typical cultural heritage of the land of Agarwood - sea of bird's nests. Along with the values of national brands and the socio -economic potential of Khanh Hoa bird's nest industry, Khanh Hoa Bird's Nest Festival is held annually to demonstrate the traditional cultural identity and history of Khanh Hoa land...".

Along with 2 intangible cultural heritages of bird's nest, Khanh Hoa province also has 4 cultural heritages that have been included in the list of national intangible cultural heritages, including: Po Nagar Tower Festival; Grave-abandoning Ceremony of Raglai people; Cau Ngu Festival; Knowledge of exploiting and processing agarwood in Khanh Hoa. In addition, the province has 16 relics and landscapes that have been ranked as national historical-cultural relics and scenic spots; 1 relic ranked as a special national relic, Po Nagar Tower; 1 national treasure, the Khanh Son lithophone collection. Khanh Hoa is also one of the provinces and cities in the Central region whose art of Bai Choi has been recognized by UNESCO as a representative intangible cultural heritage of humanity.
Currently, the provincial authorities are coordinating with central and provincial agencies and units to build a dossier on the intangible cultural heritage "Practice of worshipping Mother Goddess Thien YA Na in Khanh Hoa province" to submit to UNESCO for recognition; build a dossier to propose the Prime Minister to rank Dien Khanh Citadel as a special national monument and another national monument. In addition, in the province, there are hundreds of relics and scenic spots that have been ranked at the provincial level; many other relics and scenic spots have been included in the inventory list (for relics and scenic spots that have not been ranked).
Heavy responsibility
With the efforts to honor tangible and intangible cultural heritages in the past, many people have commented that "Khanh Hoa is a land of diverse cultural heritages". However, after the joy of the cultural heritages being honored, we see the responsibilities and challenges ahead in preserving and promoting the value of heritage in today's and future lives. Because according to the announcement of the Report "Vietnam Provincial Tourism Development Index (VTDI) 2024" by the Prime Minister's Advisory Council for Administrative Procedure Reform, the assessment pillar of cultural resources of Khanh Hoa province ranked 30th out of 30 selected provinces and cities for assessment. In which, all indicators on cultural resources such as: Number of national relics; number of world cultural heritages; number of national intangible cultural heritages; attractiveness of cultural resources; The level of protection for tangible and intangible cultural heritage... all scored below the average score and were ranked in the bottom group of the provinces and cities participating in the assessment. If we look at the general ranking of Khanh Hoa province on VTDI, which is 12/30 provinces and cities participating in the assessment, the fact that the cultural resources index is at the bottom of the list is really something to think about and a solution needs to be found, as the Advisory Council commented: "The pillars with low results are revealing significant challenges".

According to Mr. Le Van Hoa - Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, based on the spirit of Resolution No. 09, dated January 28, 2022 of the Politburo on building and developing Khanh Hoa province to 2030, with a vision to 2045; Resolution No. 34, dated December 22, 2023 of the Provincial Party Committee on promoting cultural heritage values associated with sustainable tourism development in Khanh Hoa province to 2025, with a vision to 2030, in the past time, the Department of Culture has actively coordinated with central and local agencies and units in building dossiers of cultural heritages to submit to the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism for consideration and recognition of worthy titles. In the coming time, the province will continue to implement this task to contribute to preserving and promoting the value of relics and heritages effectively and sustainably so that cultural heritages can be introduced and widely promoted to friends at home and abroad and have practical contributions to the overall socio-economic development of the province. Especially, in the new context, this task is even more concerned and implemented more actively. Because having many cultural heritages honored is a joy and pride, but if we are negligent and lack attention, intangible cultural heritages will gradually fade away, and tangible cultural heritages will be violated.
