In parallel with introducing orchid species to visitors, the Organizing Committee of the 2019 Orchid Festival also organized professional seminars and analyses on cultivation techniques; orchid and bonsai competitions; competitions for designing and selling tourism programs associated with agricultural tourism destinations; and competitions for designing miniature garden landscapes to create a platform for artisans and gardeners to exchange experiences in caring for and breeding beautiful and unique flowers and ornamental plants…
At the 2019 Orchid Festival, domestic and international visitors also had the opportunity to learn about the city's models of agriculture combined with ecotourism. Recently, agricultural tourism in Ho Chi Minh City has been developing strongly, contributing to increasing people's income during the process of building new rural areas in the city.
According to a representative from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism, in addition to the main exhibition location at Tao Dan Park, the City's Department of Tourism and Saigontourist Corporation have also designed displays, promotions, and introductions of orchid products at popular tourist destinations such as the City Post Office, museums, the airport, and 3- to 5-star hotels and accommodations.
The 2019 Orchid Festival is one of the meaningful activities celebrating April 30th and May 1st in Ho Chi Minh City. The city will also organize fireworks displays at many locations to serve tourists visiting the city during the holidays. Specifically, Ho Chi Minh City will have high-altitude fireworks displays at the entrance to the Saigon River tunnel (Thu Thiem ward, District 2), the Landmark building and Vinhomes park area in Vinhomes Center Park urban area (Ward 22, Binh Thanh District), and low-altitude fireworks displays at Dam Sen Cultural Park. The fireworks will be launched from 9 PM to 9:15 PM on April 30th, 2019.
