After many months of hard work, Nguyen Kim Anh (born 2001, Bac Giang) decided to use all her savings to go to Sa Pa for "treatment" during the long September 2nd holiday.
"I rented a homestay with a mountain view for cloud hunting, quite 'chill', the rent is 2 million per day. I rented it for 3 days to sleep comfortably" , Kim Anh is willing to spend 6 million to change sleeping place during this holiday. The young girl said that if you add the cost of transportation and food, the amount can be up to 10 million VND.

The young girl loves the atmosphere in Sa Pa, but instead of visiting crowded tourist attractions, Kim Anh just wants to stay in one place and spend time for herself.
Many friends commented that Kim Anh was wasteful, spending all her savings on meaningless things. Some people advised the girl born in 2001 who had gone to the trouble of traveling to visit many places and experience many services.
But Kim Anh has other thoughts: "Sleeping in a beautiful space is already a different experience."
"It's still sleeping, but sleeping with money is much better than sleeping in a familiar room. Sleep is also better and more refreshing," Kim Anh said, adding that even though she's sleeping, she still feels like she's traveling, not inferior to her friends, and doesn't worry about being criticized for just "staying home" during the holidays.
Kim Anh feels that the 10 million VND spent is completely worth it, even much cheaper than visiting famous entertainment spots, which would cost more money for transportation and tickets. "Staying in a room with a beautiful view and relaxing is great. I can still take lots of photos to post on social networks to show everyone," the young girl confided.
Sharing the same thought with Kim Anh, Thanh Loc (born 2000, Hanoi) is also willing to rent a sea view apartment for 4 million/night in Ha Long to "sleep through the holiday".
"Sleep tourism is the choice of many Gen Z, not only me but many young people are also doing the same," Thanh Loc said that work has exhausted his energy so he is no longer interested in bustling tourist attractions. Loc thinks that vacation is for resting so sleeping for a few days off is reasonable.

"Many people think that traveling requires sightseeing, having fun, and eating a lot to enjoy, but in fact those things only bring fatigue, not relaxation," Loc said.
The young man born in 2000 also said that today's youth is a generation that needs "healing" because they face many pressures from earning a living to peer pressure. Therefore, the desire for a good night's sleep is obvious and not surprising.
Talking about spending a lot of money on sleep, Loc expressed: "Everyone has a different perspective on spending, many people can spend tens of millions on a meal, so why can't we spend money to invest in sleep. I think I worked hard to earn money so I have the right to spend that money on what I love."
Mr. Tran Trung Quan - owner of a homestay chain in Ha Giang shared that recently he has witnessed many young people booking rooms just to sleep, some of them do not leave their rooms for 2-3 days, and do not hire local tour guide services.
Realizing that the travel style of young people is quite different from previous generations, Mr. Quan researched hotel and motel models around the world, and from there developed a suitable homestay system.
"Prioritizing customers' sleep, we focus on building absolutely quiet spaces, not arranging groups that need team building and singing in the same area as groups that just want to rest. We also build a separate service process to avoid disturbing customers while they sleep," Mr. Quan shared.
In the book "Sleep for Success!", sleep researcher Dr. Rebecca Robbins pointed out that people in today's society tend to prioritize health and happiness, and sleep is no exception to that need.
This doctor once said: "People often think that traveling means enjoying sumptuous meals, even shortening sleep time to travel and have more fun, but now young people have done the opposite, prioritizing sleep before deciding to participate in other activities."
Recognizing the change in travel trends, Malminder Gill - a therapist and meditator - has teamed up with a hotel in the UK to create a special service for guests with sleep problems, with the aim of helping customers sleep better during their stay at the hotel.
