Over the past decade, Trang An has become a successful example of development that regards culture as both a driving force and an objective while placing people at the centre of all development efforts.

Nguyen Thi Dieu Ly defeated Kama Tsubasa of Japan 5–1 to take the title in the women's 68kg class, helping Vietnam complete its target at the continental tournament.

The main festival activities will take place from July 17-19 in Nha Trang, while related events will be held across the province from July 10 to August 10.

The festival aims to showcase the cultural and tourism values of Thang Long – Hanoi, honour the beauty and significance of the lotus in Vietnamese life, and promote lotus-based products as part of efforts to boost the capital’s cultural and tourism industries.

Vietnam’s cultural industries currently comprise around 70,000 active enterprises, generating employment for more than 3 million workers and contributing an estimated 2.5–3% of GDP. Several localities have also developed creative ecosystems, innovation hubs, and effective cultural economy models.

Among the province’s success stories is Ta Phin commune, one of Lao Cai’s earliest community-based tourism destinations and a locality renowned for its diverse traditional occupations that provide stable and sustainable livelihoods for ethnic minority communities.
