The event aimed to honor tour guides who connect visitors with the region's rich history, cultural heritage, traditions, and local attractions, including historical sites, cuisine, and customs. 

The competition featured two segments, one in tour guiding skills and the other in personal talents. The contestants demonstrated good skills, creativity, and confidence in introducing their chosen destinations. Some stood out for their poise and expertise, delivering impressive and memorable presentations. 
The event provided a vibrant platform for professional development, allowing local tour guides to exchange experiences, enhance their skills, and strengthen their role as representatives of the province's tourism. It also aimed to elevate the overall quality of tour guiding in the region and boost the province’s appeal to domestic and international travelers. 

The organising committee awarded three first prizes, three second prizes, and four third prizes. The top performers were Nguyen Dieu Linh from the Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant in Hoa Binh city; Nguyen Thi Ngan from Dong Thech Ancient Tombs in Kim Boi district; and Dinh Thi Hang from Tan Lac district.
