Top priority should be given to improving the image of handicraft villages, said Chinh. "We plan to build a common business area to introduce and sell silk products. In addition, local cultural programmes will be added to existing tours," Chinh said.
A tourist and commercial service joint stock company will be set up in Bat Trang Village. The company will help develop traditional handicraft village tourism by introducing the village’s culture, history and current products to visitors.
People in Bat Trang Village were looking forward to the establishment of a pottery museum, said Thu.
At present, Van Phuc and Bat Trang are the most popular destinations out of the 11 traditional handicraft villages for tourists in Ha Noi.
Every year 8,000 to 10,000 foreign tourists and hundreds of thousands of local visitors visit the villages
