<p style="margin-top:17px;line-height:30px">Mr. Hoang Dao Cuong, Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, highlighted that the Master Plan provided a vital legal foundation, helping to balance heritage preservation with tourism, expand the conservation area, and boost community involvement. He stressed the need to hold fast to the principle of keeping cultural heritage as the core focus and never sacrificing it for economic gain. He also recommended that Da Nang formulate a new Master Plan centered on "ecology – culture – tourism," consistent with sustainable development trends and UNESCO's recommendations.</p>
