HCM CITY — HCM City’s cultural authorities are working to support private museums as part of their efforts to build a museum system to boost local tourism. The city has six private museums and each offers a unique theme. Private museums have changed their way of doing business and are attracting more local and foreign visitors. “The city should focus on supporting private museums and creating long-term policies on key factors such as land funds and taxes,” said Huỳnh Ngọc Vân, director of the private Áo Dài Museum in District 9. Cẩm promises her association in co-operation with partners will work closer with local authorities to help private museums upgrade and improve their businesses.— VNS
