On the occasion of April 30 - May 1 this year, civil servants and public employees will have 5 consecutive days off, from Saturday, April 27 to Wednesday, May 1.
Sharing at a recent press conference, Ms. Nguyen Thi Anh Hoa, Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism, said that she had surveyed businesses and that if they had planned to take a 5-day break earlier, they would have prepared more proactively, especially to promote during the 20th Tourism Festival.
However, when the holiday is officially announced, businesses have already prepared products and many families have already planned their vacations in advance.

Ms. Hoa assessed that although tourism businesses always have 3, 4, 5-day products to serve domestic and international travel needs of tourists and also long-term products, if there is an early plan, businesses can market to customers sooner, thereby increasing the number of product registrations.
According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism, in the first 3 months of the year, the city welcomed about 1.4 million international visitors, of which nearly 500,000 visitors were in March alone - an increase of more than 30% over the same period in 2023.
