The opening of the eighth Da Lat flower festival in 2019 |
The festival is to honor the beauty of flowers and growers of Da Lat city, promote tourism and trade, call for domestic and international cooperation and investment in Lam Dong province.
The ninth Da Lat flower festival was scheduled to take place last December with numerous interesting activities. However, due to the complicated developments of the COVID-19 pandemic, the province decided not to organize it. All funds for the festival in 2021 was donated to the program “Connection and computers for children” to support poor local students to continue their e-learning.
This year, because the pandemic has been controlled and the province is realizing the Government’s resolution No.128 on safely, flexibly adapting and effectively controlling COVID-19, Lam Dong province is determined to organize the festival to boost tourism, trade, and investment in the locality.
