Vietnam >>> Hue ready for festival in June
The central province of Thua Thien-Hue has readied itself for the Festival Hue 2008, a biannual event of art, culture, and tourism scheduled to take place in the former imperial city from June 3 to 11, the organizer said.
Festival Hue 2008 will include many art performances by artists from 18 countries that are reminiscent of special events that took place in the former capital. There will also be other royal festivals, fashion shows, folk games, and others.
The art programs will take place every night in An Dinh Palace and Dai Noi (Royal Citadel), and other squares in Hue City, while the neighboring districts will organize new tours and programs for tourists.
The opening ceremony will take place on the night of June 3 in Ngo Mon, while the closing ceremony will take place on the Huong River on June 11.
As usual, the festival will feature programs that require tickets and programs, open free for the public.
Mr Hoa said that the organizing committee has cut deals with Vietnam Airlines and the Vietnam Railway Corporation to increased more flights and trains to Hue during the festival. "The railway corporation has pledged that it will also discount 20% of ticket prices for tourists to Hue by train,"
Regarding accommodation for tourists, he said that the province would have enough rooms for visitors. Thua Thien-Hue has 36 one to five-star hotels with over 4,800 rooms, plus many guess houses, while residents will also offer their houses for tourists to stay during the festival.
The committee expects the festival will attract 100,000 international visitors, doubling the figure at the Festival Hue 2004.
