“ Vietnam Tours “ - The central province of Quang Ngai has submitted to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism a proposal to host a Vietnamese sea and island festival in 2012.
The
festival aims to promote traditional cultural heritage, boost economic
and tourism development, and affirm Vietnam’s sovereignty and
territorial waters in the East Sea. It will also help raise public
awareness of the country’s sovereignty over seas and islands, and the
responsibility towards defending and restoring its tangible and
intangible heritage.
A ceremony to commemorate soldiers who laid
down their lives to defend the Hoang Sa (Paracel Islands) several
hundred years ago will form the core of the festival. Other activities
such as boat races, genie processions, whale worship rituals and folk
games of coastal villagers will also be held.
Under the
proposal, Ly Son island district, Quang Ngai City, Sa Huynh tourist
resort and My Khe beach resort will be venues for the festival.
With
a 130km long coastline, Quang Ngai has great potential for tourism
development. It boasts of Sa Huynh tourist resort, My Khe beach resort,
Son My relic, late Prime Minister Pham Van Dong’s memorial house,
national hero Truong Dinh’s temple, and a tourist complex on Ly Son
island district.
Just
want to let you know that we had a marvellous trip to Vietnam ,Laos and all the
guides and sites were very well planned and organised so a big thank
you. Next trip will be Cambodia and possibly Vietnam and 6 days on a
beach location. We’ll contact you soon for our trip.
