Continuing the momentum of success achieved at the culinary festivals organized by Hue City during the Traditional Craft Festival of Hue from 2005 onwards, our goal remains steadfast. We are dedicated to honoring, preserving, and enhancing the cultural richness of Hue cuisine. Our efforts aim to not only create but also promote innovative and enticing tourism offerings that cater to both domestic and international visitors, thereby contributing significantly to positioning Thua Thien Hue as a prominent cultural and tourism hub within the country and the Southeast Asia region.
