Mr. Le Hoang Dung, Vice Chairman of Phong Dien District People's Committee, head of the festival's organization board confirmed that Phong Dien will continue to see this festival as a traditional annual event on tourism. As a result, the event will gradually raise the awareness of the community about tourism; facilitate the connection between tourist garden sites and travel agencies; create opportunities to promote, introduce the diversity of Phong Dien’s agricultural products, fruits as well as cuisine to domestic and international tourists.
