The culture of Tay Nguyen (Central Highlands) has become smaller and smaller as time has passed by due to a number of reasons. To maintain, preserve and enhance this cultural heritage, the most important thing is how to promote it to the general public and help them understand all its precious values.

The 2007 Tay Nguyen Gong Cultural Festival is scheduled to be held in Buon Ma Thuot City, Dak Lak province, from November 21-24. The aim is to help the Tay Nguyen provincial authorities and cultural researchers realize the values of gong culture so that they can adopt measures to preserve and promote its development. To this end, the Tay Nguyen Gong Culture has been recognized by UNESCO as an oral cultural heritage.
