The program attracted the attention of experts, culinary innovators, and chefs from Ho Chi Minh City, Thailand, and Malaysia , along with KOLs, KOCs, and businesses involved in the durian industry. Notably, the talk show also featured Miss Tourism Ambassador Vietnam 2024, Dinh Thi Hoa.

This talk show aims to pave the way for the 2026 Dak Lak Durian Festival with the theme "Dak Lak Durian - Connecting and Reaching Further". It's also a special opportunity to examine durian from a culinary cultural perspective – a crucial element in the development of experiential tourism today.

Throughout its development, many agricultural products of Dak Lak have transcended their purely economic value to become symbols, contributing to the region's brand recognition. Among them, Dak Lak durian is a typical product, closely associated with the labor and creativity of the people, especially the ethnic communities in the province.

The Dak Lak Durian Festival 2026, organized on a provincial scale, aims not only to honor a distinctive agricultural product but also to promote the image of Dak Lak's land and people; to connect farmers, businesses, scientists, managers, and tourists; and to promote agricultural economic development linked with culture, tourism, and integration.
