Bach Ma is not a discovery tourism destination well-known in Vietnam but at present, it also becomes an attractive choice for athletes whose passions are long-distance running with rugged terrain.

Hue Traditional Craft Festival 2023 takes place concurrently with the 5-day holiday. This is the time for Hue to stimulate demand and attract tourists to the festival.

During a recent tourism survey in Malaysia, Hue tourism businesses chose to wear the traditional Ao Dai when working with partners.

According to the Department of Tourism, in the first 3 months of 2023 (Quarter 1), the estimated number of international tourists visiting Hue is over 255 thousand, a 55-fold increase compared to the same period last year.

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.

On April 7, the Department of Tourism informed that Vietnam National Administration of Tourism made a decision to recognize that Vedana Lagoon Resort & Spa meets the five-star standard.
