3.2.2.1. Main solution group

a. Solution for customer exploitation


Perfecting the organizational and management apparatus of the Cultural Heritage of Hat Boi and Bai Choi

Hat boi and bai choi of Binh Dinh are not only intangible cultural heritages of Binh Dinh and Vietnam, but now they belong to all of humanity. The management of this heritage belongs to the responsibility of state management agencies and the community - the owners of cultural heritage. Therefore, it is necessary to perfect the heritage management apparatus effectively. The proposed solutions:

Review the management apparatus from the province to the villages and communes: Unify the focal point of the state management unit on heritage under the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism. The provincial People's Committee shall preside over and coordinate with the state management agency on religion in the locality. The heritage management department under the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism shall be responsible for managing important heritages and organizing professional training on restoration, embellishment and promotion of heritage values. For cultural heritages, it is necessary to study the roadmap for upgrading the current apparatus under the provincial People's Committee; for national heritages such as hát bội and bài chòi, it is necessary to base on the conditions of each locality, the scope and scale of the heritage's influence.

Building standards for management staff: To improve the quality of cultural heritage management, it is necessary to strengthen and perfect the apparatus for cultural management in localities, and improve the professional qualifications of cultural staff. Local specialized staff must be people who have a deep understanding of village culture, be pioneers in disseminating the cultural values ​​of villages, and also be able to participate in plans for the management and exploitation of cultural heritage.

- For cultural managers: Create conditions for cultural managers to learn experience in managing and exploiting cultural resources in other provinces and cities in the country.

- For staff performing cultural heritage conservation work: focus on training staff and skilled workers with professional qualifications meeting the requirements for implementing management and exploitation of intangible cultural heritage; have enough capacity to research, create archives and carry out conservation activities to promote the value of cultural heritage.

- For grassroots cultural officials: create conditions for grassroots cultural officials to participate in training courses on preserving and promoting heritage organized by the province or central government. Provide them with


cultural heritage guides so that they can access, study and apply them appropriately to their locality.

Perfecting the state management apparatus for tourism: It is necessary to establish a department specializing in market research, tourism product development, tourism promotion, and the synthesis and storage of data information on Binh Dinh tourism. Coordinate with the Department of Culture to build a photo bank of hát bội, bài chòi, data of bài chòi clubs, hát bội and bài chòi artists, etc. to serve the promotion and development of quality tourism products.

Coordinate management between the Tourism and Culture sectors: to organize the exploitation and promotion of heritage values ​​in tourism activities, organize scientific seminars, works, and projects on the conservation of Hat Boi and Bai Choi with the participation of tourism managers.

Promoting the province's resources to exploit the cultural heritage of Hat Boi and Bai Choi in tourism

- The provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism needs to have policies to invest in and restore historical relics, research and organize activities for tourists suitable for each type of guest, each type of visitor and each time... in which special attention should be paid to exploiting and preserving the values ​​of the country's intangible cultural heritage such as Hat Boi and Bai Choi.

-Invest in building comprehensive entertainment areas based on existing resources in terms of transportation and land fund.

-Invest in building rest stops to introduce local culture, introduce and sell handicraft products as souvenirs, and introduce and provide guests with dishes imbued with local identity.

-Continuously upgrade and build new hotels and motels to serve tourists.

Build and develop more diverse cultural tourism products of hát bội and bài chòi to attract tourists.

Hat boi and bai choi themselves are attractive to tourists. However, to make hat boi and bai choi a tourism product, a type of tourism, there is still a lot of work to be done.

Firstly, diversifying cultural tourism products of hát bội and bài chòi. Based on the results of a survey of the tourist market, at the same time, exploring and discovering new values.


The unique features of hát bội and bài chòi need to be researched and developed suitable hát bội and bài chòi tourism products.

- Regarding food service at the festival: it is possible to organize a bidding to select a tourism business to operate. Research and provide dishes of ancient Binh Dinh people to diners.

- Regarding hygiene and food safety: build mobile toilets in the festival area. Ensure environmental hygiene, safety and security for visitors. Pay special attention to the location and space of the festival to expand the scale. Have a parking plan for visitors. Predict the number of visitors to the festival to organize the distribution of visitors in a reasonable and orderly manner.

- Developing tourism for sightseeing, research, and enjoyment of hát bội and bài chòi: This type of tourism must be given top priority. For tours with hát bội and bài chòi programs to be truly attractive to tourists, there needs to be investment from the State Management Agency and from tourism businesses. Tourism businesses are the ones who directly serve customers, so they will understand the psychology and desires of customers best.

-Developing conference and seminar tourism: With many famous and pristine landscapes, 5-star and 4-star hotels already in operation, and some tourist areas under construction, Binh Dinh has a plan to be ready to host domestic cultural, sports and tourism events as well as international events.

- Developing homestay tourism: this is a completely new type of tourism in Binh Dinh. In some other localities such as Sa Pa - Lao Cai, Mai Chau - Hoa Binh, Mong Phu - Ha Tay... have attracted a large number of visitors to participate in homestay tourism.

Second, is to diversify souvenirs for tourists. It can be said that currently, Binh Dinh still does not have many souvenirs for tourists. Binh Dinh province needs to allocate a certain amount of funding for the tourism industry to research and invest in the production of souvenirs to serve tourists.

Third , it is necessary to have a plan to research and analyze the tourism market to Binh Dinh. Focus on exploiting the international tourist market because that is the group with high spending ability. Target key tourist markets of Vietnam such as: China, North Asia, Southeast Asia, Europe, America, Australia.


Fourth , it is necessary to classify the market of visitors to Hat Boi and Bai Choi. Unlike other forms of tourism, cultural tourism, especially tourism associated with the heritage value of Hat Boi and Bai Choi, has more advantages in exploiting tourism than some other art forms, and is only suitable for certain types of visitors. Among them, there are research tourists, sightseeing tourists, study tourists, etc.

b. Priority solutions for investment and organization of activities to develop hát bội and bài chòi

- The Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism has a policy to encourage businesses to invest in building tourist areas that organize opera, bai choi, entertainment areas, and invest in tourism technical facilities such as hotels, restaurants, passenger transportation, post and telecommunications, banks, etc. In which, attention should be paid to researching and building accommodation, dining facilities and other services in a reasonable manner for tourists at places where opera and bai choi performances are organized.

- Prioritize and encourage domestic and foreign joint ventures to invest in building high-class hotels (3 stars or higher), restaurants serving standard food and beverage to meet the needs of international tourists. In addition, it is also necessary to build motels at historical sites to serve the accommodation needs of the majority of domestic visitors coming here during the festival season.

- Key investments in some traditional craft villages, some historical and cultural relic sites with historical significance and artistic value for tourism. These are attractive destinations in addition to the content of participating in enjoying Hat Boi and Bai Choi, enriching the tourist program of visitors.

c. Solutions for training organization

Training, fostering and developing tourism human resources

Human resources are always the key factor in the process of tourism development. Currently, Binh Dinh's tourism human resources in general and the human resources meeting the tourism activities associated with the cultural heritage values ​​of Hat Boi and Bai Choi in particular are still very limited in quantity and quality. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen human resource training by some of the following measures:


- Have preferential policies to preserve culture .

attract people to study

opera , song for the purpose of maintaining

-The Tourism sector in coordination with the Culture sector needs to have appropriate policies to preserve and promote the role of elderly artisans, "living human treasures", combined with training young artisans and bringing them into tourism activities.

-Improve the professional and foreign language skills of tour guides and tour guides by regularly opening short-term and long-term training courses on foreign languages, professional skills as well as knowledge on environmental protection, safety and security for tourists,...
