The Danang Tourism Promotion Center and Danang Tourism Association jointly announced the culinary event series “A Journey through Vietnam’s cuisine” at Furama Resort Danang on the afternoon of February 2.
The event series is expected to garner the participation of numerous experts, cultural specialists in culinary arts, and talented chefs from across the country.
A culinary night will be organized in each quarter of 2024 as part of the event series, with four top Vietnamese chefs showcasing their skills and serving great delicacies to visitors.
The event series spans all four seasons, each with its unique theme: “Vietnamese Traditions-Vietnamese Heritage Artisans” for spring, “Aroma from the Sea – Vietnamese Flavor” for summer, “Echoes of Alluvial Fields” for autumn, and “Tet Viet, Tet Furama” for winter. The grand finale, “Culinary Essence” night during the final lunar month, will see the participation of 12 Vietnamese culinary artisans and is poised to set a culinary record in Vietnam.
Nguyen Duc Quynh, vice chairman of the Danang Tourism Association, envisions the integration of storytelling and cultural elements into Vietnamese cuisine through the event series, making Danang a global culinary destination. Culinary tourism is a new product that the city is actively promoting.
By infusing culture into cuisine, dining becomes an immersive experience that not only tantalizes taste buds but also provides insights into the history and origins of each dish.
On February 2, the Tet Village Market was held at Furama Resort Danang, featuring activities such as lantern making, fortune-telling, traditional folk games, artistic performances, and a chance to savor authentic Vietnamese cuisine. International tourists had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the traditional Tet atmosphere and savor the authentic flavors of Vietnamese cuisine. This event marks the beginning of a series of planned activities.
Furama Resort Danang places a strong emphasis on developing culinary tourism products, offering not only delicious dishes but also contributing to sustainable development.
Creativity in cooking and aesthetic presentation elevate the status of Vietnamese cuisine in the culinary area of the Tet Village Market.
