Mr Tho has requested that the Hue Monuments Conservation Centre take responsibility for distributing information and making residents and visitors aware of the offer.
Currently, entrance tickets to relic sites in Hue apply to both Vietnamese and international tourists. Accordingly, entrance tickets are priced at VND150,000 each to the Hue Imperial Citadel (Dai Noi) and VND100,000 each to visit the royal tombs of King Minh Mang, Tu Duc, and Khai Dinh, as well as VND40,000 to visit the royal tombs of King Gia Long and Thieu Tri.
Previously, Mr Tho had sent a letter to schools in the city encouraging female students to wear an Ao Dai when visiting relic sites.
In September 2018, the central province of Thua Thien Hue issued regulations stipulating that all female staff at public administrative agencies in the city must wear Ao Dai costume on Monday each week.
