The

promoting
the

has
been
focused
on

implementing
practical
and
effective

bring

results.
However,
the

work
of

promoting
the

of

the

still
has
some
difficulties
and

obstacles.
Therefore,
it
is
necessary
to
carry
out
a

research

the
values
of
the
festival
towards

proposing
solutions
to
preserve
and
promote
the

values
of
A
Da
Koonh
Festival
in
a
sustainable

way;
also,
creating
unique
tourism
products
to

attract
tourists,
which
contributes
to
fostering

economy
and
promoting
the
image
of
unique
and

diverse
ethnic
culture
in
Thua
Thien
Hue

province.
