Lam Dong surveys night-time economy plans for Da Lat Flower Festival
Lam Dong Provincial Party Committee member and Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Dinh Van Tuan conducted a site survey at Da Lat Night Market and nearby locations on the afternoon of October 12 to explore options for developing night-time economic spaces in connection with the 11th Da Lat Flower Festival 2026.
At Da Lat Night Market and surrounding locations, the delegation inspected existing infrastructure, traffic conditions, landscaping, business activities and the potential for organizing cultural, tourism, commercial and service spaces at night.
Following the site survey, representatives of relevant departments, agencies and local authorities discussed and proposed organizational options suited to local infrastructure, the urban landscape and Da Lat’s tourism development orientation.
Food, culture and shopping at the heart of the plan
Proposals focused on establishing food areas, souvenir stalls and spaces to showcase and sell products under the One Commune, One Product (OCOP) programme. The delegation also considered music performances, cultural and artistic activities, and experiential offerings for residents and visitors.
The development of night-time activity spaces is expected to diversify tourism offerings, make better use of central Da Lat’s potential, encourage longer visitor stays and increase tourist spending.
The initiative is also intended to create new destinations and experiences and bring a livelier atmosphere to the city during the 11th Da Lat Flower Festival 2026.
Coordinated planning and effective implementation
During the survey, Vice Chairman Dinh Van Tuan asked relevant departments and agencies to work closely with the Xuan Huong–Da Lat Ward People’s Committee to conduct a comprehensive review of conditions at the surveyed locations. Based on the findings, they are to develop specific proposals for spatial planning and activities, ensuring feasibility and coordination while making effective use of central Da Lat’s advantages.
Night-time economic development must closely integrate cultural, tourism, commercial and service activities, creating more attractive products with distinctive local characteristics to meet residents’ and visitors’ needs for entertainment, shopping and new experiences.

Planning must give particular attention to urban order, environmental sanitation, food safety, public security, traffic safety and fire prevention and firefighting. Activities must be organized in a systematic and orderly manner, balancing service-sector development with the need to preserve the urban landscape, protect the environment and ensure the normal functioning of the city centre.
Vice Chairman Dinh Van Tuan asked the relevant agencies and units to urgently finalize proposals covering locations, implementation timelines and organizational plans. They must clearly define each type of activity, its implementation schedule and the responsibilities of each unit. These proposals will provide the basis for considering the rollout of night-time economic spaces and creating a highlight for the 11th Da Lat Flower Festival 2026.
The vice chairman assigned the Xuan Huong–Da Lat Ward People’s Committee to lead the development of a night-time economy scheme for the area, coordinate with relevant departments and agencies, incorporate feedback and finalize the plan in time for the Da Lat Flower Festival 2026.
