Director of Saigon Asset Joint Stock Company - Nguyen Trong Nghia presented a project on the Center for Agricultural Education and Tourism Services at the Youth Forest Park. The orientation function of the Youth Forest Park includes youth living area, Southern housing model, agricultural start-up innovation area, picnic area, cultural event area, Southern farmers market, Southern food service area, and Southern countryside accommodation area.

These models will be studied for professional implementation, close to the real life of the Southern people so that visitors can have the most realistic experiences. The Youth Forest Park has the advantage of being near Ho Chi Minh City with a lot of potential for developing outdoor tourism, so it will attract a lot of tourists. If the plan is approved, the project will officially be implemented at the end of 2022 and open on April 30, 2023.

Assoc. Prof, Ph.D. Ngo Thi Phuong Lan suggested that Long An should take the opportunity to become the first locality to organize the Southern Apricot Blossom Festival

With the idea of organizing the Southern Apricot Blossom Festival, Dr. Ngo Thi Thu Trang said that although the apricot village has potential, developing tourism is still a difficult process. The Southern Apricot Blossom Festival is considered a stepping stone for tourism development in the Apricot Blossom Village. If Long An can take advantage of this opportunity and become the first locality to organize the event, this can become an annual activity of the province to attract many tourists.

Apricot flowers are the symbol of the traditional Tet holiday in the Southern provinces, which is the advantage of the Tan Tay Apricot Blossom Village

The festival includes cultural, culinary, commercial, experiential activities, seminars, contests, etc. In particular, the yellow apricot roads leading to the festival will be the highlight to attract tourists. According to the proposal of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, the cultural space focuses on introducing Don Ca Tai Tu (the Southern amateur music) to make a difference with other localities. The experience space to see artisans styling the apricot blossom tree is also expected to attract the attention of visitors.

Most of the delegates agreed and highly appreciated the ideas, and contributed some ideas to help the mission better understand the Youth Forest Park and the Tan Tay Apricot Blossom Village.

Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee - Pham Tan Hoa expresses his agreement with the projects

Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee - Pham Tan Hoa expressed his agreement with the projects. According to him, these ideas are not duplicated with other localities and can become the typical highlight of Long An. For the project of the Center for Agricultural Education and Tourism Services at the Youth Forest Park, he requested to keep the administrative area of the park and form a harmonious whole between the two spaces. With the proposal of the opportunity to become the first locality to organize the Golden Plum Festival, he also directed the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism in collaboration with the University of Social Sciences and Humanities to launch it soon.
