Apart from of the festivals, there will be a trade promotion conference where domestic and foreign investors can seek partners and expand their markets in the Central Highlands region of Vietnam.
The trade promotion conference would discuss issues such as improving living standards of ethnic minorities, and attracting investment from large firms.
Particularly, an exhibition on coffee, a street festival and game challenges are spotlights of the coffee festival, which aims to promote the trademark of Buon Ma Thuot coffee and serve as a venue for coffee firms and related businesses to strengthen cooperation.

According to the organizing committee, the festivals are expected to attract nearly 20,000 visitors. Hotels in the province can serve around 7,000 tourists at a time but there will be some new hotels up and running just in time for the festivals and homestay services will also be made available.
