More than 500 artisans, artists and athletics from Quang Nam, Quang Ngai, Phu Yen and Khanh Hoa provinces are attending the Vietnam Coastal Village Festival which opened in the south-central province of Ninh Thuan on August 2.
The festival features a wide range of traditional cultural programmes, sporting events, cuisine and ancient bibliography exhibitions.
It aims to promote marine tourism, preserve traditional cultural identity and raise public awareness of Vietnamese sea and islands and improve the spiritual and material lives of coastal villagers.
Nguyen Van Tan, Head of the Ho Chi Minh City Representative Office under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, said the event is part of the National Tourism Year being held in the south-central provinces.
