The Management Board of Thu Duc City Book Street (HCMC) has just announced information about the activities of the Book Street in the first 6 months of the year and the activities taking place here this summer.
Activities and events increase but revenue decreases
In the first 6 months of the year, Thu Duc City Book Street organized 188 activities and events, attracting more than 17,000 participants. Despite the bustling activities, the Book Street still recorded a decrease in revenue.
Accordingly, the number of activities and events in the first 6 months of the year increased by 10% compared to the same period in 2024 (171 times).
Besides book stalls, Thu Duc City Book Street continues to promote its role as a cultural space through the construction and maintenance of thematic areas.
Such as Ho Chi Minh cultural space; space Towards the homeland sea and islands with the symbol of the sovereignty milestone of Truong Sa island; stone slabs engraved with Uncle Ho's teachings, engraved with the biography of mother Ho Thi Tu (also the name of the book street).
These spaces not only contribute to spreading historical and intellectual values, but are also places to organize thematic activities, introduce literary works andeducate about traditions.
However, according to the management board, due to many conditions and objective factors that more or less affected the revenue of the stalls at Thu Duc City Book Street, the number decreased compared to last year.
