According to statistics from Cam Ranh International Airport, during the 4-day National Day holiday on September 2 (from August 31 to September 3), the expected transport volume is about 450 take-offs and landings (up 5% over the same period last year) with about 76,845 passengers (up 8% over the same period last year). Of which, there are 196 domestic flights with 28,790 passengers; 254 international flights with 48,055 passengers, mainly Chinese and Korean passengers.
Mr. Vo Quang Hoang, Chairman of Khanh Hoa Hotel Association, acknowledged that domestic airfares during the September 2 holiday increased by about 20% compared to normal days, which is partly the reason why the number of domestic visitors to Khanh Hoa is overwhelmed by the number of international visitors.
Khanh Hoa tourism industry is expecting individual guests to push up room occupancy during the holidays. Currently, 3-5 star hotels in Nha Trang City have room occupancy rates of 60%; in Bai Dai - Cam Lam area, it is about 80%, many large hotels have room occupancy rates of up to 90%, mainly 3-day, 2-night room packages, focusing on August 30 - September 1.
“In recent times, the highways connecting the southern provinces with Khanh Hoa have been smooth, creating favorable conditions for the locality to welcome individual tourists and families with cars, which is expected to increase during the holidays,” said Mr. Vo Quang. Tourism businesses are always well prepared to satisfy tourists, contributing to building the destination of Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa to “touch the hearts” of domestic and foreign tourists.
Mr. Nguyen Cong Hai - Director of Khanh Hoa Southern Interprovincial Bus Station said that the station has connected 79 bus routes to 28 provinces and cities nationwide and 1 intra-provincial route, meeting the travel needs of people. Every day, there are about 140 buses departing from the station to provinces and cities, especially on the occasion of September 2nd holiday, the number of departures increased from 30 trips to 170-175 trips per day. All bus companies are committed to not allowing the situation of lack of buses, lack of seats, and "cramming" passengers.

According to information from Saigon Railway Transport Joint Stock Company, in addition to daily trains, on the occasion of National Day September 2, the railway industry will organize additional trains from Ho Chi Minh City - Nha Trang (SNT4, SNT5, SNT7, SNT8, SNT12); from Nha Trang - Da Nang (SE41, SE42). In addition, there are a number of other additional trains running from Ho Chi Minh City to the northern provinces and vice versa, stopping at Nha Trang station.
According to the leader of Nha Trang Railway Transport Branch, although there are still many train tickets available during this holiday, it is expected to increase by about 30% compared to normal days when the holiday begins. The railway industry has planned to increase trips, ensuring enough tickets to serve the travel needs of the people.
In 2023, during the 4-day September 2 holiday, Khanh Hoa tourism industry welcomed nearly 152,000 overnight visitors, with total tourism revenue reaching 662 billion VND. This year, the indicators are forecast to grow thanks to a series of tourism stimulus solutions implemented by the authorities since the beginning of the year. However, tourism businesses in Khanh Hoa province generally believe that the number of visitors to the locality during the September 2 holiday will increase but not much, due to the recent peak summer tourist season and the approaching school start date for students at all levels.
