In the coming time, in Thanh Hoa province, there will be a number of festivals taking place at relics associated with the worship of Mother Goddesses, which are said to be the most sacred in Thanh Hoa, namely the Song Son Temple Festival in Bim Son town and the Han Son Temple Festival in Ha Trung district.
Festivals considered sacred when taking place often attract many people to attend, the risk of negative impacts on the landscape, environment, security and order at the relic is inevitable. Loss of cultural security, threats to environmental safety during festival activities are pressing issues in many localities, which have not been thoroughly resolved to date.
The requirement to build a cultural and civilized environment in the festival not only contributes to building cultural life, but also creates quality festival products to promote tourism development. This has been well recognized by many authorities and management boards of relics and scenic spots. During this year's spring festival, the authorities and the Management Board of Phu Na relic site (Nhu Thanh) quickly took action to eliminate begging here after receiving feedback from tourists.
Recent press information also said that in Da Nang City, the city's largest religious festival, the Quan The Am Festival at the Ngu Hanh Son National Special Monument in 2024, has a new feature of setting the "5 no" requirement, including: no theft, robbery and social evils; no wandering, begging, or disguised begging; no littering, no violating food hygiene and safety; no soliciting customers, raising prices, or forcing prices; no releasing animals and superstition.
The efforts of some localities to build beautiful landscapes and images for relics and festivals have received praise from tourists, creating a driving force to promote local socio-economic development.
The more developed life is, the more it requires religious life to develop accordingly, in which the landscape and environment serving religious activities must become cleaner and healthier. The relic management boards and local authorities should not consider relics, scenic spots, and festivals as endless resources, focusing on exploiting them without paying much attention to protecting and creating values that increase their attractiveness.
Sacred relics and festivals, with strict management, become even more sacred. In recent years, the Thanh Hoa culture, sports and tourism sector has built a relatively healthy cultural and tourism environment. Efforts to eliminate the concerns of the public in upcoming festivals will create more attraction to bring tourists to Thanh Hoa, and the image of Thanh Hoa will become more prominent. The way some recent festivals are done is a suggestion for functional sectors and localities to refer to and take appropriate measures.
