Vietnam is beautiful!

That is the reason why this year, Ms. Phan Ngoc Mai's family (Tan Hai ward, Phu My city) continued to choose a tour to the Central Highlands during the April 30 holiday.

Ms. Mai shared that the whole family likes to travel domestically because Vietnam has many beautiful places that have not been fully explored. With a target budget of 30 million VND, her family initially planned to visit Con Dao, the Central Highlands or Binh Dinh for 4 people. After reaching an agreement with family members, she decided on a 5-day, 4-night Central Highlands tour. “The tour price is more than 6 million VND/person. The tour itinerary has many interesting points about the Central Highlands, rich in culture and history, such as the Indochina junction, Mang Den, the communal house, Bo Y border gate, etc. This tour is suitable for the family's budget and interest in exploring indigenous culture,” Ms. Mai said.

A survey of some tourism companies shows that this is also the destination choice trend of many domestic tourists during the April 30 and May 1 holidays. Most travel companies and online service websites are focusing on promoting domestic tours by road. A representative of Saigontourist Travel said that up to this point, the journey to explore Vietnam has recorded a high increase in the number of visitors, mainly families and individuals.

The tourist routes to Phan Thiet, Nha Trang, Hue, Hoi An, and the peaceful Southwest region attract more visitors to learn about and book tours thanks to reasonable prices due to traveling by road, meeting the needs of tourists to visit and experience the scenery along the way.

Ho Tram and Vung Tau are expected to be crowded during the April 30 holiday. In the photo: Tourists sit on kayaks to enjoy the scenery in the Emerald Ho Tram resort.

In addition, with the long holiday, there will be a large number of independent travelers using personal vehicles. It is expected that destinations within a radius of about 300km around the Southeast region such as Vung Tau, Ho Tram, Tay Ninh, Phan Thiet, Da Lat, Khanh Hoa will attract a large number of individuals thanks to the advantage of the highway shortening the distance and travel time.

On the occasion of April 30 and May 1 this year, officials, civil servants, public employees and workers will have a 5-day holiday, from Wednesday (April 30) to Sunday (May 4), due to the swap of working days between Friday (May 2) and Saturday (April 26). With the long holiday, many families have planned to travel, mainly domestic tours.

Diverse product experience

To meet the demand for diversifying tourism products, travel companies continue to focus on marketing hundreds of tour itineraries including specialized products for domestic and international tourism. The tours are built on traditional products and market demand, developing new, quality experiences, optimizing costs and increasing benefits for customers.

In the context of high domestic airfares, many flights from Ho Chi Minh City to destinations in the North, Central, and Phu Quoc are still "sold out" during the holidays, travel companies optimize revenue and profits from the big holiday of the year by promoting foreign tours suitable for a 5-day, 4-night vacation.

In addition to 45 tours to explore Vietnam, Saigontourist Travel also launched 84 international tours with discounts of up to 10 million VND, departing continuously from April 23 to May 1 nationwide with a variety of tour options from 4 to 12 days. In particular, the company offers fast track check-in service, with priority check-in in the business class area for customers purchasing tours to Europe, America, New Zealand and South Africa. At the same time, discounts of up to 3 million VND depart continuously from March 29 to April 9 nationwide with a variety of tour options from 1 to 7 days.

Beach tourism will be the top choice of tourists during the hot weather of April 30th. In the photo: Tourists experience swimming and diving on the sea of ​​Con Dao.

A representative of Saigontourist Travel said that up to this point, the tour to Japan to attend the Fuji Shibazakura Flower Festival - admiring the brilliant carpet of shibazakura flowers at the foot of Mount Fuji, the tour to the Keukenhof Flower Festival in the Netherlands and the tour to the Sydney Light Festival in Australia have attracted the most visitors.

In Asia tours, nearby tours with simple procedures such as China, Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia are popular choices. Travel companies such as Saigontourist, Vietravel, MGM Travel... regularly have many tours departing in March and April. Especially, the frequency is continuous during the April 30 holiday.

There is exactly one month left until the April 30 holiday. Many travel agencies believe that the travel habits of individual customers are still spontaneous, making decisions close to the holiday, while domestic airlines are forecasting "sold out" of air tickets, foreign tours near Vietnam, and road tours will certainly attract customers thanks to competitive tour prices.
