According to Mr. Phan Thanh Hai, Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Hue City, the heritage registration not only affirms the value of Hue culinary culture but also creates a legal foundation and important motivation for the locality to continue to promote the conservation, promotion and development of heritage values in the cultural industry development strategy, contributing to the development of tourism, local economy and culture.
“This is also a meaningful stepping stone in the journey to make Hue a UNESCO Creative City in the culinary field,” Mr. Phan Thanh Hai emphasized.

The New Rice Festival is a typical agricultural ritual, reflecting the close relationship between humans, nature, and gods in the cultural life of the Co Tu ethnic group.
The festival usually takes place after each harvest season, with the meaning of thanking the gods, especially the rice god Giang Haro, for giving the village a bountiful harvest, a peaceful and prosperous life.
Preserved and passed down through many generations, the festival is a characteristic of the traditional rice cultivation cycle of the Co Tu people, and is also an important occasion for the community to gather, have fun and strengthen solidarity.
The inclusion of the New Rice Festival in the National Intangible Cultural Heritage List will contribute to spreading the unique cultural heritage of the Co Tu ethnic minority community in Nam Dong district (old) - a land rich in tradition, playing an important role in the mountainous cultural identity of Hue.
