LÂM ĐỒNG – An art tourism map of Đà Lạt, a resort city in the Central Highlands province of Lâm Đồng, was launched on August 29 to serve visitors and local residents’ demand.

The map is one of the three local-level initiatives that Đà Lạt pledged to carry out when joining the UNESCO Creative Cities Network in the field of music.

With a vivid and understandable design, it features typical historical, cultural, and artistic destinations of Đà Lạt, helping to introduce outstanding venues of cultural and musical performances and scenic landscapes of the city.

The map is also meant to connect artists, artistic destinations, and the public to tell interesting stories about history, culture and creativity, thus contributing to sustainable tourism and art development in this Creative City of Music.

Both paper and digital versions of the map are available for free.

Addressing the launch, UNESCO Representative to Việt Nam Jonathan Baker highly valued Đà Lạt’s active building of an action plan for implementing its commitments to the UNESCO Creative Cities Network.

The art tourism map will help shape the city’s cultural and creative ecosystem and be useful for travellers, he said, noting that it can also assist authorities to better bring into play heritage values and creative spaces.

Đà Lạt officially became a member of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network in the field of music on October 31, 2023. The network participation is considered a chance for it to capitalise on local resources and advantages to establish its brand and popularise its image among international friends. - VNA/VNS
