For value added aspect, image value was found to have the highest average mean score, followed by personnel value, product value, and service value. According to NPD processes on ideas generation, business analysis, product development, and product testing stages, they showed a positive influence on the value-added, which could predict the value added of Tai Lue ethnic textile for 56.6%, while the screening and selecting process could not predict the value added of Tai Lue ethnic textile handicraft products for tourism with a statistical significance level of .05.
