He said that branding such cultural extravaganzas as Monsoon Music Festival in Hanoi or Hozo International Music Festival in Ho Chi Minh City will be very significant to the growth of cultural industry.
The organisation of branded international art events is meaningful for Vietnam as it is a way to popularise the country's culture and art to the world, contributing to the development of its cultural industry. It also aids the building of brands for destinations, helps the tourism sector expand and attracts a large number of tourists to Vietnam, he told Lao dong (Labour) newspaper.
Son went on to say that these events also bring cultural confidence to Vietnamese youth.
Branding such art shows as international music festivals in Hanoi and HCM City will create a playground for domestic and international artists, the official said, elaborating that it provides local artists with chances to develop their skills and performance styles, thereby making better quality art products.
In addition, the festivals will help event organisers and art directors to strengthen the promotion of their art products as well as facilitate the development of a diverse entertainment industry in Vietnam, Son said./.
