Launching Vietnam tourism gift design contest
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has launched a contest and selected gift designs to promote foreign tourism.
This is the first time there has been a gift design contest for Vietnam tourism to promote the creativity of artists and artisans.
The design samples for the contest are of two types: State-level gifts and popular gifts. For the gift samples, the Organizing Committee has high requirements for aesthetics, uniqueness, and conveying the characteristics of the people, cultural traditions, customs, unique landscapes, and costumes of Vietnam. The design samples for State-level gifts need to be highly applicable, convenient for manufacturing and production. The popular gift samples need to be able to be mass-produced at a price suitable for all consumers.

Designs must have their own creative research, absolutely do not copy available product models on the domestic and foreign markets.
The organizers encourage designs to focus on choosing materials that are light, durable, do not change or deform with climate change, are convenient for carrying, holding, exchanging, packaging, are safe for human health, and are environmentally friendly.
The time to receive entries is from June 10-20 at the Department of Fine Arts, Photography and Exhibition (38 Cao Ba Quat, Hanoi).
The Organizing Committee will award 20 prizes in 2 types of gifts, each worth 10 million VND.
Mr. Tran Nhat Hoang, Director of the Center for Promotion of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Department of International Cooperation (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) said that Vietnam tourism is lacking beautiful gift designs while the demand for gifts and souvenirs for tourists, especially international visitors, is very high. The gift designs in the past mainly relied on private forces to both design and produce, so the quality was not really guaranteed.
According to Mr. Hoang, in many countries around the world, tourist gifts, whether big or small, extremely sophisticated or simple, all represent the most unique features of that country, making tourists very excited and remember them for a long time. For example, gifts from Paris (France) are the Eiffel Tower; Denmark has a mermaid; Belgium has a statue of a peeing boy; Myanmar has hand puppets..../.
