However, looking at the product market and souvenirs before now, results are not commensurate with the potential and the development of tourism. Not to mention, Ninh Binh also owns several local traditional villages, making the products exported to many countries around the world, is known as: Van Lam embroidery village (Hoa Lu-Ninh Hai ), carpentry village of Phuc Loc (Ninh Binh Ninh Phong city), Kim Son traditional rush job, crafted stone carving craft Ninh Van (Hoa Lu) ceramic Gia Thuy (Nho Quan) ...

Even in handicraft enterprises Van Bao Ngoc (Tan Thanh Ninh Binh city), recent years have produced positive products and souvenirs for the tourists. Through various materials such as wood, bamboo, earth, ceramic, pearl powder rhinestones ... the classic reference, history, landscapes, landscapes of Ninh Binh area: Thuy Mountain, Yunnan river, areas Trang An eco-tourism, wipe flag maneuvers ... are expressed as the product vividly eye-catching souvenir.
As a business owner, Mr. Pham Ngoc Ba: I went more traditional village of wood in the provinces and cities across the country and found that "array" handicraft products almost completely overlooked, few people do by feats, from the meticulous design until it shapes the product. Upon launching the tourism products, many of Van Bao Ngoc products such as key rings, bracelets, vases ... are the famous tourist destinations such as Hanoi, Hoi An ... welcome immediately. For years, his business has become a provider of products for the local tourism have strong development of tourism. However, Ninh Binh tourism market is to be "open-ended". Recently, he has been tinkering learn about the traditional villages with the featured products to form the handicraft products meet the criteria that tourists need, which is the real small items, beautiful, convenient transport, distinctively capital region.
And this is the time period production business efforts, innovative products with bold Ninh Binh to introduce visitors at the parks, tourist spots in the province.

While market products and souvenirs for tourists yet formed and flourished, producing souvenir products still spontaneous, strong business does he do business, not a chain, operating systems ... they are in need of care, support industries and functions of local authorities in the province. The business needs direction, financial support, of the local ground, need to work closely, with effective business travel business, need help with knowledge, to market light create designs, suitable products from the industry ... in that function, fashion design contest handicraft products is considered as one of the thrust, contributing to "open the door" to market products and souvenirs for tourists.
