These contributions aim to further strengthen the brand of the Da Lat Flower Festival, attracting more visitors and offering richer cultural experiences for both residents and tourists.
Concluding the meeting, Vice Chairman Dinh Van Tuan acknowledged the efforts and responsibility of departments, sectors and localities involved in the preparations. He assigned the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism to incorporate the feedback and finalize the plan, ensuring that cultural, entertainment and tourism activities during the festival are diverse and engaging.
