A representative from the Department of Tourism noted that the Hue International Arts Festival Week coincided with the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival and various competitive exams across the country, which somewhat affected the number of visitors coming in to experience Hue Festival. Nevertheless, the number of tourists to Hue for the festival was substantial, especially among self-guided travelers. Surveys indicated that the reception, service, and security at tourist sites and accommodations were generally good, contributing to the satisfaction of the visitors.
