The Vietnam National Village for Ethnic Culture and Tourism is an architectural complex imbued with national identity and a vibrant cultural space with the daily participation of ethnic people from many regions. The architecture of stilt houses, communal houses, Khmer pagodas, Cham towers, along with dances, folk songs, folk games and typical cuisine have created a "living cultural museum", where culture is authentically reproduced, blending with the rhythm of life and emotions of visitors. This is an outstanding advantage that helps the Village become an educational , experiential and entertaining destination, suitable for many subjects, from students, families to international visitors.

According to representatives of travel companies, to turn potential into attractive products, close coordination between the Vietnam National Village for Ethnic Culture and Tourism and businesses is a key factor, from organizing programs, perfecting services to promoting images. This survey activity therefore becomes an important "bridge" in the process of linking, building and developing cultural and experiential tourism products at the Village.

Travel agencies can coordinate with the Village to develop specialized programs such as "Green Journey at the Common House" to explore and experience connecting with nature; "Colors of National Culture" to play and learn, suitable for students. In addition, it is possible to develop cultural tourism packages combining relaxation, outdoor picnics, experiences of making traditional cakes, weaving brocade, learning traditional musical instruments, etc. This is the direction of sustainable tourism development, connecting cultural preservation and modern creativity.
