Vietnam is a country with a heroic history, a place with many beautiful natural landscapes, a system of historical - cultural relics, and unique scenic spots, bringing advantages and potential to promote tourism through cinema.
Cinema is an effective channel for tourism promotion in the national tourism development strategy. Beautiful scenes in movies will attract tourists, help destinations, landmarks, products, and tourism services in movies become famous, contributing positively to the development of the tourism industry of many provinces and cities such as Phu Yen, Ha Giang, Quang Ninh, Quang Binh...
The Vietnamese landscape becomes more sparkling thanks to the professional camera angles of the filmmakers. The simple features of the Vietnamese people, the flowing ao dai, the customs of celebrating Lunar New Year, or folk festivals, martial arts… on the film also highlight the culture of the Vietnamese people.
In his opening speech, Mr. Ta Quang Dong - Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism - said that "Vietnam Tourism through the space of photos" is one of the important contents and the opening activity for the program "Tourism, Cinema and Sports - Proud of Vietnamese identity".
"The opening ceremony took place in an atmosphere of pride in the revolutionary autumn days 79 years ago, contributing another meaningful activity to the people of the whole country joyfully welcoming National Day, September 2 .
Through two themes "Beauty of Vietnam through Cinema" and "Space to introduce Binh Dinh in movies", the program will introduce more than 300 photos about the beauty of Vietnam's land and people, which are filming locations appearing in domestic and international movies along with some cultural landmarks, historical relics... of Binh Dinh, contributing to promoting local culture and tourism, the potential to develop Vietnam's tourism brand through cinema", Mr. Ta Quang Dong emphasized.
Sharing at the photo exhibition area, People's Artist Xuan Bac - said that Binh Dinh has many beautiful landscapes and historical relics associated with culture. Therefore, if filmmakers do not research, explore and do not put the beautiful scenery of Binh Dinh on film, it is really a waste.
"With the promotion and advertising of Binh Dinh's image like this, I am sure that in a short time, many films will be filmed here. I imagine that if the coastal street of Xuan Dieu in Quy Nhon City had blockbuster scenes like in foreign films, chase scenes, speed scenes or sunset and sunrise scenes on the sea, it would be very beautiful. This is a great opportunity not only for Binh Dinh, but also for domestic and international filmmakers," said People's Artist Xuan Bac.
