Participants also explored local cultural and heritage products, including mask painting for hát bội, or classical Vietnamese opera, and learned about the traditional performing art and Phú Gia conical hats.

They attended the “Essence of the Heritage Land” art program and visited the Twin Towers in Quy Nhơn Ward and Làng Sông Minor Seminary in Tuy Phước Commune.

The survey gave travel companies an opportunity to directly assess Gia Lai’s tourism products, services and potential for developing tour programs.
