Meritorious artisan Huynh Suong, who has devoted his whole life to Kim Bong carpentry village, said that in 2023, Hoi An city will officially become a member of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network in the field of crafts and folk arts. This is an opportunity for traditional craft villages to be restored and strongly developed, becoming an ideal destination for tourists to visit and experience tourism products in the buffer zone of Hoi An Ancient Town.

“I am very happy that many tourists are returning. This is a new sign that tourism continues to recover. Traditional craft villages and artisans themselves are very happy that international visitors are increasing. If we perform our craft without tourists coming to see it, we will clearly feel disappointed. The more tourists come here, the more local people can sell their handicraft products, increasing their income. In addition, it also helps to raise the spirits of artisans, thereby increasing their awareness of preserving the craft village.”
