As with previous cultural events, the food stalls always pay close attention to ensuring strict food safety and hygiene requirements. Local folk dishes are carefully prepared, ready to offer new culinary experiences for locals and tourists. According to a representative of the Provincial Chefs Association, in addition to selling Ninh Thuan specialties such as banh can, banh xeo, banh canh, etc., a new feature of this event is the collaboration between chefs from Da Nang and Ninh Thuan, showcasing the impromptu preparation of new dishes using unique ingredients from the province. This aims to stimulate the visual and taste senses of visitors, including: refreshing drinks from the sunny and windy region; giant skewers; demonstrations of cutting sailfish, and sailfish grilled on hot stones… all at reasonable prices ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 VND per serving.

Besides preparing and finalizing the areas and points for displaying and introducing cultural products, one of the important parts of the event series is the artistic performance program. These days, the atmosphere at the Provincial Folk Music and Dance Troupe is more vibrant than usual due to the intense rehearsals of the director, choreographers, and artists preparing for the special artistic program to open the "Ninh Thuan Culture and Tourism Day in Da Nang 2024" event on the evening of July 14th and the music night on July 15th titled "Singing about Ninh Thuan, My Homeland".

Comrade Pham Thi Luan, Deputy Head of the Provincial Folk Music and Dance Troupe, said: "The performances are staged in a contemporary folk style, respecting original cultural values, both capturing the quintessential cultural colors of the ethnic groups and reflecting the breath of modern life with the combination of singing, dancing, and music along with scenes recreating festivals and spiritual rituals in the lives of ethnic minorities, and performed by ethnic artists and artisans from the province..."

It can be said that, at this point, with the efforts of the member agencies of the Organizing Committee and the support and cooperation of all sectors of the population, it is hoped that the "Ninh Thuan Culture and Tourism Day in Da Nang 2024" will be one of the important events to promote linkages and cooperation in tourism development between Ninh Thuan, Da Nang and the central coastal provinces; at the same time, diversify forms of tourism promotion in Ninh Thuan, attract tourists, and contribute to achieving the goal of welcoming 3.2 million visitors in 2024.
