Attendees included Nguyen Quoc Trung, Member of the Provincial Party Committee and Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, who also served as Head of the Organizing Committee, alongside leaders of the Department of Education and Training and representatives from relevant agencies and units.

The contest drew 30 teams from lower and upper secondary schools across the province. In the semi-final round, each team was given up to five minutes to present their ideas.

Presentations focused on preserving and promoting cultural heritage values in tandem with tourism development, while enhancing the use of digital technologies to promote the province’s image. Many creative and practical ideas were showcased, including “Pac Bo – A Green Heritage Site,” “AI Robot – Smart Tour Guide,” and “Digital Heritage – The Pulse of Tradition.” Other proposals featured the development of digital maps and multilingual interpretation systems at the Pac Bo historical site, the application of QR codes and digital maps in destination promotion, and the creation of “smart tourism village” models.

Notably, many projects closely linked their proposals to leveraging the value of the Non Nuoc Cao Bang UNESCO Global Geopark, offering solutions to promote distinctive tourism routes and destinations while enhancing visitor experiences through digital technology and modern media products. These efforts aim to build a friendly, sustainable destination image and contribute to local tourism development. In addition, several products were designed bilingually, improving accessibility for both domestic and international visitors and gradually modernizing tourism promotion efforts in Cao Bang.

At the close of the contest, the Organizing Committee awarded the first prize to Son Lap Semi-Boarding Primary and Secondary School. Second prizes went to the Provincial Ethnic Minority Boarding School and Vu Nong  Secondary Semi-Boarding School. Third prizes were presented to Quoc Dan Primary and Secondary School, Quang Uyen Secondary School, and Quang Uyen High School. Several organizations and individuals were also honored with additional awards.
