Mr. Giau said that the issuance of policies to support people to keep the kilns depends on the province's budget resources. The entire project area is expected to spend about 10 billion VND to support people to continue keeping the kilns while implementing the next steps of the project.

"In the past time, the Department and related units, Mang Thit District People's Committee, and communes in the project area have organized meetings with people with kilns to propagate and explain to people the economic, cultural, and social efficiency when implementing the project, which will contribute to changing livelihoods, increasing income, and improving the material and spiritual life of people through the tourism development orientation of the project area... Up to now, people have agreed to keep the kiln to participate in implementing projects in the coming time," said Mr. Giau.

Mr. Tran Van Tien (residing in Phu Thanh A hamlet, Nhon Phu commune, Mang Thit district) said: "My family has 2 traditional brick kilns but has stopped using them and intends to dismantle them to build new kilns. However, since hearing the local government's propaganda about the significance of the heritage, my family has agreed to keep them. I also hope that the government will soon implement it, because kilns that are not left for a long time will easily be damaged."

According to Mr. Phan Van Giau, when the general planning and detailed planning are approved, the relevant departments will advise the Provincial People's Committee to organize various forms of calling for investors to participate in the projects of the project; at the same time, there will be specific policies and instructions to make it easy for all organizations and individuals to participate in the projects.
