A programme featuring Cham folk arts has been held every Saturday and Sunday at Po Sah Inu towers in Binh Thuan province since mid June in an attempt to attract more visitors to the locality.

The 45-minute programme, held jointly by the towers’ management board and the Binh Thuan provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, delights audiences with traditional Cham songs, dances and orchestral performances by artists from the Bien Xanh art troupe.

Earlier this year, a 200-seat performing house was constructed outside the towers with the investment of more than VND 280 million.

Local authorities have asked travel agents to add the programme to their tours and schedules in order to promote it to visitors.

Located on Ba Nai hill, Phan Thiet city, the Po Sah Inu towers are a unique complex where Cham people hold their cultural and arts activities, and traditional annual festivals such as the Kate festival. The site was recongised as a national constructional site in 1991. In first half of this 2012, it has welcomed more than 25,000 visitors, one-fifth of whom were foreigners.
