Khanh Hoa (VNA) – Cam Ranh city in the south-central province of Khanh Hoa will hold the first-ever lobster festival from August 3-11, heard a press conference held in the locality on July 28.

According to Vice Chairman of the city People’s Committee Ngo Huu Hien, the festival will be an opportunity for Cam Ranh, dubbed “a kingdom of lobsters”, to popularise its staple, promote trade, and expand market domestically and internationally.

Besides, the city, throughout the event, will enhance communications work on local lobster development planning, as well as transfer and showcase new farming technologies, he added.

Various activities are scheduled during the festival such as a cuisine event, a boat race, a culinary contest, and a performance of traditional art, expected to draw throngs of visitors.

Cam Ranh plans to make the festival annual, aiming at introducing and promoting local cultural values as well as economic and tourism potential.

Home to renowned Cam Ranh Bay and Binh Ba Island, Cam Ranh is considered in the same tourism league as San Francisco Bay in the US, and Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.

The city also boasts nearly 80,000 lobster faming cages, and provides the market with 2,600-3,000 tonnes every year./.
