The province's viewpoint is to combine preservation with promotion, integrating with tourism to create livelihoods and spread historical and cultural values to the community. Restoration work is carried out seriously and in accordance with regulations, minimizing the creation of new structures or alterations to the historical sites.

The Lam Kinh Festival continues to be preserved, held annually, and is an important cultural highlight of Thanh Hoa province.
“Lam Kinh is a large-scale and complex historical site. Each restoration project is carefully assessed and discussed with scientists to ensure its originality. As a result, the site's appearance is becoming increasingly complete, attracting a large number of tourists every year,” shared Ms. Bui Anh Tuyet, Deputy Head of the Lam Kinh Historical Site Management Board.

From 2022 to 2025, the Museum digitized 603 artifacts, expanding public access through digital platforms.
Mr. Trinh Dinh Duong, Director of the Thanh Hoa Museum, emphasized: “Digital transformation helps artifacts ‘live’ longer and reach more young generations. By 2030, we will move towards building a virtual exhibition space and a digital learning model for students and tourists.”
Looking back at the period 2021-2025, Thanh Hoa's heritage preservation efforts have made significant progress: historical sites have received comprehensive investment; intangible cultural heritage has been strongly recognized; activities to restore and transmit community culture have been maintained; and the museum system has transformed towards modernization.
The leaders of the Thanh Hoa Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism affirmed that the province will continue to exploit resources, especially social mobilization and community resources, to build a sustainable cultural environment and make heritage tourism an important economic sector of Thanh Hoa.
These efforts provide a solid foundation for Thanh Hoa to implement its Cultural Development Strategy until 2030, aiming to transform heritage into a driving force for socio-economic development, while deeply preserving the national cultural identity in this land rich in tradition.
