However, according to the National Tourism Administration, there are still many factors affecting revenue such as transportation costs - airfares increase by 10-15% compared to 2024. The trend of choosing international tours to Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, and South Korea instead of domestic destinations of Vietnamese tourists continues to increase. In addition, domestic tourists' spending is limited by the general economic difficulties.
The 9-day Lunar New Year holiday in 2025, announced early, combined with favorable weather in most localities across the country, has increased people's travel demand compared to the same period in 2024. Outdoor tourism activities are vibrant and safe, bringing a joyful and exciting atmosphere to people and tourists.
