Quang Nam – A spring festival kicked off at the Cong Troi (Heaven Gate) tourist site in the mountainous district of Dong Giang, central Quang Nam province, on March 10.

The festival opens up a series of activities promoting tourism in mountainous areas and forms part of the province’s high-quality tourism products.

It offers an opportunity to visitors to learn about local culture through folk games and traditional dances, with the participation of tens of artisans, while exploring the site which has won a Vietnamese record for the ecotourism area with the most natural waterfalls.

As from April 2022, the site has welcomed more than 42,000 holidaymakers. The event alone is expected to attract more than 5,000.

According to Vo Ngoc Anh, General Director of FVG Travel that represents the management and operation unit of the site, there will be more festivals and events associated with local culture in the time ahead.

Quang Nam province, home to UNESCO-recognised Hoi An ancient city and My Son sanctuary, served nearly 4.8 million visitors in 2022 when it hosted the National Tourism Year, 13 times higher than the previous year.

The locality earned 3.8 trillion VND (160.43 million USD) from the sector, representing an eight-fold rise year-on-year.

With the country officially re-opening tourism both domestic and international on March 15, green tourism has been made the theme of the Visit Vietnam Year 2022, to be hosted by the central coastal province of Quang Nam.
