UNESCO
promotes traditional handicrafts
 United
Nations’ Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation
(UNESCO) is developing a project to promote Vietnamese
traditional handicrafts at five World Heritage sites in
Vietnam.
"Vietnam has five World Heritage sites, all of which are
good places to sell locally made traditional handicrafts,"
said Tran Nhat Ly of UNESCO’s Vietnam Committee.
The five sites are Halong Bay, Phong Nha-Ke Bang National
Park, Complex of Hue Monuments, Hoi An Ancient Town and My
Son Sanctuary.
In Hue, only 20% of souvenirs are made in the area, with the
remaining coming from Danang, HCMC, Hanoi and China.
The products are often sold without brandnames, names of
producers or artisans, or product descriptions.
Nguyen Thi Phuong Cham, member of a group of project
researchers, said the traditional handicraft industry in the
four provinces in which the heritage sites were located
faced problems, including outdated production technology.
Provincial development plans often don’t include the
handicraft industry and management is not unifed, Cham said.
