Jordi Gable Lopez, Director of bilateral programme of the Spainish Agency for International Cooperation in Hanoi, co-organiser of the workshop, said he hopes that the project will contribute to improving the city residents’ life besides preserving cultural preservation values and facilitating tourism and economic development.

Since August 2008, the project’s major components, including setting up a centre for visitors, have been completed.

The imperial city of Hue, recognised as the world tangible and intangible heritage site by UNESCO is the starting point of a tour of Central Vietnam.
