After 8 periods of organization, Hue Traditional Craft Festival has become a brand name with many programs and activities on an increasingly large and professional scale. However, maintaining activities after the festival is what businesses and establishments in the area expect so as to bring craft village products closer to tourists.

Patterns on Zeng and small products made of Zeng by Ta Oi artisans in the mountainous district of A Luoi have been so impressive. Lovers of this traditional fabric not only want to own products, but also visit remote villages to experience firsthand the weaving process.

Sunday Handicraft & Art is an activity organized by Legend of Hue and craft units on March 19 at Hue Innovation Hub (53 Nguyen Hue Str., Hue City).

In order to create a connection and to balance the nightlife and entertainment activities in Hue city and to form an attractive nightlife tourism product to serve locals and tourists, Hue will soon open a pedestrian street at Hai Ba Trung Street in Vinh Ninh Ward. Around this event, Thua Thien Hue Weekly had a talk with Mr. Tran Song, Vice Chairman of Hue City People's Committee.

The Cay Mai ceramics (of an ancient pottery line) has long been appreciated for its meticulousness and sophistication. The products of this pottery line have still been present in the imperial Citadel and the royal residences in Hue, attracting the attention of lovers.

From the Hue lotus with a close and familiar appearance, researchers at the University of Agriculture and Forestry, Hue University have "transformed" each part of the traditional lotus plant into attractive products on Vietnamese people's dining tables and living rooms; and, it is going to be exported to America in the near future.

Currently, A Luoi locals have been creating many small and fashionable products to serve customers' needs from Zèng fabric, which is usually only used to sew shirts, skirts, and loincloths.

“If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together” - a saying by billionaire Warren Buffett - is the motivation for Thua Thien Hue to develop health tourism products. It still takes a long time for this type of tourism to become special, lucrative, and boost healthcare into an important economic sector of the local, but once many hands come together to connect and move forward, Thua Thien Hue will go a long way.

Innovation in thinking, creativity in products, ways to approach customers, standardizing in the processes - these are the ways that Hue's small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) assert themselves.

In order to research, evaluate the current situation and propose solutions to develop tourism products associated with craft villages, on the afternoon of December 27, the Provincial Institute for Research and Development held a workshop on “Solutions to develop tourism associated with craft villages and replicate the model to be applied to Thua Thien Hue”.
