DEVELOPING LIVELIHOODS IN ASSOCIATION WITH PRESERVING AND PROMOTING THE TRADITIONAL CULTURAL VALUES OF ETHNIC MINORITIES – EFFECTIVE METHOD OF CULTURAL PRESERVATION IN ETHNIC MINORITY AND MOUNTAINOUS AREAS

Abstract

Since the our country was independent, the Party has paid great attention to the preservation and promotion of positive elements in the traditional culture of ethnic minorities. Especially after the Resolution No. 24 (Session IX) on ethnic affairs, besides the good implementation of the Party and State’s guidelines and policies on preserving and promoting the cultural values of the ethnicity, the preservation and promotion of cultural values of ethnic minorities have been associated with the development of livelihoods, economic development, hunger eradication and poverty reduction for ethnic minorities. Many economic models, many eco-tourism and community-based tourism areas using traditional cultural values of the ethnicity have been formed and developed with increasing economic income, creating many jobs for fellow people. At the same time, those economic models have saved, restored and promoted many traditional cultural values of the fellow people. Therefore, our State’s policy of preserving and developing ethnic culture has always been an important part of the nation’s overall socio-economic development policy.
