Thua Thien-Hue to host international conference on conical hats

Participants at the event will discuss the current situation and various solutions for the sustainable development of conical hats in the locality.

The event will therefore provide a chance for craftsmen to meet and exchange information about the craft of conical hat making.

Advertising Hue conical hats and seeking measures aimed at improving vocational training for local practitioners are set to be hot topics during the conference.

The international conference is jointly organised by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (FNF) Vietnam and the Hue Conical Hat Association, and is expected to attract plenty of domestic and foreign intellectuals and craftsmen.

The craft of conical hat making has been practiced in Thua Thien-Hue for centuries. It is still well preserved today in Tay Ho village of Phu Ho commune, My Lam village of Phu My commune, and the villages of Phu Cam, Phuoc Vinh, Doc So, Trieu Tay, and Huong So in Hue.

Craftsmen residing in the village sell millions of conical hats to the market each year, not only meeting the needs of local people, but also providing an attractive souvenir for visitors to the province.

Along with the typical three-layer conical hats made from palm leaves, local artisans use leaves from the lotus and bamboo as materials to produce conical hats.

Agoda’s CEO, Omri Morgenshtern, has stated that Vietnam is now within the top five destinations for Indian travelers, a position it never achieved in 2019. He affirmed that Vietnam is receiving much more attention from the Indian market than ever before. Morgenshtern emphasized that before 2019, there were no direct flights from India to Vietnam, which made Vietnam less appealing in comparison to other countries in Southeast Asia. Vishal Suri, managing director of SOTC Travel (India), stated that Vietnam is an easily accessible destination from India, located within the ASEAN region. According to Suri, most parts of the country can reach Vietnam in only four or five hours by flight.
