Mr. Huynh Van Trung, a tour guide specializing in organizing tours for international tourists when traveling to Da Lat, shared: "In fact, many foreign tourists have mentioned the need to experience the Da Lat architectural tour. However, the level of foreign tourists' access to this typical tour is still quite modest compared to the actual demand." Mr. Trung believes that this limitation is not because Da Lat lacks architectural resources, the cause lies in other subjective and objective factors such as the openness of architectural works is not really enough to build specialized tours, lack of in-depth materials to present to foreign tourists who are academics, lack of complementary services to increase the attractiveness of architectural tours... "Da Lat has been an ecological resort city since its inception, with the form of a European urban space structure, an architectural art style combined with landscape, respecting the beauty of nature to the maximum, architecture is a part of nature. Each architectural work, cluster of architectural works here is cleverly constructed, on the one hand fully exploiting the terrain structure of Da Lat, on the other hand enhancing the beauty of the natural landscape", Mr. Trung said. Agreeing with Mr. Trung, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Hai - a tour guide in Da Lat, admitted: "Since its inception, Da Lat has had a European appearance, with thousands of unique architectural works, including villas, mansions, offices, schools, churches... This place is preserving about 2,500 architectural works with European architectural style. These architectural heritages are the soul, the backbone of the heritage city of Da Lat".
Talking about why Da Lat has not yet formed tours to experience architectural works from the French period, Mr. Hai honestly said: “Most of the architectural heritages from the French period are currently the headquarters of state agencies or owned by a business organization, so visitors are more or less limited. In addition, some architectural works in the architectural heritage fund from the French period are now degraded, affecting the design of architectural exploration tours.” According to Mr. Hai, the lack of guides with in-depth knowledge of architecture is also a barrier to building architectural tours. “Because having beautiful ingredients does not mean the dish will be delicious, if you do not know how to prepare it. A good tour guide is the same, knowing how to bring interesting stories to visitors based on the existing architectural human resources of Da Lat,” Mr. Hai likened. According to visual artist Nguyen The Son, we can completely awaken the architectural heritage of Da Lat through artistic activities in the space of those heritages. The architectural heritages in Da Lat themselves must have a separate gallery about the history of that heritage, in addition to expanding the scope of interaction with new art forms. Thus, the architectural heritage of Da Lat will truly contribute to the local cultural industry. Mr. Hai added that in order to do what visual artist Nguyen The Son said, the pioneering role of the State must go first, then professional tourism companies will conduct surveys on the actual needs of tourists to design tours, routes, destinations..., plus the support of artists and art activists, the construction of architectural tours is certainly feasible, thereby revealing a new type of tourism in Da Lat.
