This product should be positioned as a coffee culture experience, not just a city tour. The strength is that guests can visit the World Coffee Museum, try local coffee, stop by a farm or roastery, and then connect with indigenous culture at Akŏ Dhông Village or light city highlights.
The Buon Ma Thuot Coffee Festival is also a major media advantage. The festival is held to promote the Buon Ma Thuot coffee brand, enhance the position of Vietnamese coffee, and position Buon Ma Thuot as a world coffee destination. The 9th edition took place from 09–13/03/2025 with the theme “Buon Ma Thuot – Destination of World Coffee.”
