In related news, travel operators taking part in a seminar entitled the “People’s Contribution in Tourism,” said that in recent years Da Lat, Hue, and Hoi An have done a good job in mobilizing inhabitants to participate in tourist-oriented festivals, especially the Da Lat flower festival, Hue festival, and the Hoi An full moon festival.
