Need a special festival
Mr. Nguyen Thien Duc, a tourist from Ho Chi Minh City, shared that he is a Hue lover, having been to Hue more than a dozen times, especially during the Hue Festival. However, what Mr. Duc regrets is that Hue has many programs and festivals, but to make people remember it forever, there is still a lack of highlight activities. Mr. Duc's opinion coincides with many guests we had the opportunity to talk to. Although all comparisons are somewhat lame, from a positive perspective, it is also a suggestion to help Hue tourism and Hue Festival develop further, worthy of being a typical Festival city of Vietnam.
Mr. Huynh Tien Dat, Director of Hue Festival Center analyzed, Hue Festival has long been organized as an art festival, attracting unique art troupes with many attractive programs. This type is different from thematic festivals such as the international fireworks festival in Da Nang .
According to Mr. Dat, maintaining and developing the Art Festival is a suitable direction. Currently, Hue organizes Festivals with four festival seasons. The events are organized over a long period of time, helping visitors have many choices about the time when coming to the ancient capital of Hue to immerse themselves in the experiences of culture, art and people. This is also a way to attract visitors from all over the world, promote and develop Hue tourism. However, in the long term, when conditions permit, it is also necessary to develop them into specialized Festivals.
In fact, there are quite a few programs maintained in the past Hue Festivals, typically cuisine, kites, ao dai, etc. organized. These are all attractive programs, loved by locals and tourists. However, according to the wishes of many tourists, it is necessary to invest in and develop the above programs, activities, and festivals as a specialized Festival. From a development perspective, tourists are the ones who spend money to enjoy tourism services and experiences. To develop tourism activities, the issue of attracting visitors to Hue is the core. Therefore, surveying the needs and psychology of tourists is a task that needs to be done regularly. Through the opinions of tourists, it is possible to select, research and change accordingly.
Food is a good choice
Surveying the opinions of some tourists, most of them highly appreciated Hue's cuisine. Delicious, cheap, diverse dishes are the feedback of tourists about Hue's cuisine. In fact, many tourists choose Hue as a tourist destination because of the desire to explore Hue's cuisine. From this, many people think that Hue has enough capacity to organize a festival specializing in cuisine.
Among the nearly 3,000 dishes of the country, Hue cuisine accounts for more than 65%, with two lines: royal cuisine and Hue folk cuisine. With that advantage, Thua Thien Hue is building its brand to become a capital, a culinary capital, enhancing the image of Hue cuisine in the region and the world.
According to tourism experts, the most popular factors for international visitors are the taste of the food, the freshness of the ingredients, the space and the friendliness of the service staff. For domestic visitors, visitors appreciate the uniqueness, sophistication and diversity of the dishes, the taste, space and price of Hue cuisine. For a long time, experiencing and learning to cook when coming to Hue has also been a tour chosen by many visitors. Here, visitors are introduced by top chefs and explained why there are choices of ingredients to prepare dishes, how to present and the meaning of the dishes.
Researching and developing a specialized culinary festival, maintained periodically, will create an attraction and impression for tourists. According to a tourism expert, there are many ways to organize. From the culinary theme, it is possible to create experiences, display royal cuisine, Hue folk cuisine, and even invite famous units from countries around the world to gather in Hue to perform, creating international culinary experiences. Meanwhile, domestically, it is possible to take advantage of the culinary specialties of each region, converging and organizing in Hue to create diversity.
Mr. Huynh Tien Dat said that in fact, a street food unit in Singapore had also coordinated with Hue to develop a project with Hue to develop a food festival. However, this is also a long-term direction and to create efficiency, it requires careful research and investment.
