According to the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Quang Nam province, more than 100 businesses have agreed to offer incentive programs.
Hoi An flood season becomes a tourist tour
From the beginning of May to the end of November, visitors to Quang Nam will experience many unique programs and tours at "basement" prices.
Businesses will directly sell services to customers with preferential combo packages from room rates, food services, attractions, transportation units... with a discount of 30-50%.
If customers want to enjoy a more "huge" incentive program, businesses will also launch a "golden hour" service "hunting" program with discounts of up to 80%.
In addition, businesses and tourist attractions will offer buy-one-get-one-free promotions, airport pick-up and drop-off, electric car pick-up and drop-off from accommodation to the old town, and motorbike rental at good prices.
This year, Quang Nam launched new tours such as exploring the winding roads through Co Tu and Ca Dong villages; conquering Que Peak (Tay Giang)...
The highlight of the year-end tourism is the Golden Season program of Quang Nam . Visitors will experience visiting the ancient mossy town; riding bicycles and motorbikes along the village roads of Hoi An, Duy Xuyen, Dien Ban on the ripe rice fields during the harvest season.

The New Rice Festival will take visitors to see terraced fields and experience the new rice festival of the Xe Dang and Ca Dong ethnic groups in the highlands.
Coming to the Terracotta Art Creation Camp, visitors can freely create on the basis of terracotta art.
With the Greening Golden Season program, visitors will be able to participate in volunteer activities such as planting forests, supporting people in remote areas, etc., and experience many other cultural stories.
Notably, for the first time in a tourism stimulus event in Quang Nam, the organizer introduced a "strange" product: Hoi An tourism during flood season.
" The Hoi An tour during the flood season will take visitors on a boat ride in the old town during high water days, or experience rowing a boat on the Thu Bon River (Cam Kim) and listening to the story of Quang Nam's gourd boats" - the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Quang Nam province introduced in the press conference.
Many businesses worry about lack of customers due to high airfares
Despite responding to many stimulus programs to attract tourists back after a long period of being affected by the pandemic, at a press conference on the afternoon of April 16, many tourism businesses in Hoi An also expressed concerns about the high price of domestic airfares.
Mr. Steven Wolstenholme - President and General Director of Hoiana Resort & Golf - said that Domestic tourism industry may face difficulties in the coming time due to increasing domestic air transport costs.
"In previous years, our accommodation block was almost fully booked for the April 30 and May 1 holidays. But this year, the room occupancy rate is currently about 60% compared to 2023," said Mr. Steven.
According to Mr. Steven, the recent active opening of tours and transporting passengers by rail is a new direction. This activity will help compensate for the lack of passengers coming by air.

Mr. Hoang Gia Khanh - General Director of Vietnam Railway Corporation - said that the railway industry is actively innovating, including investing heavily in infrastructure and services to serve the group of customers who choose to travel by rail.
"The railway industry is currently coordinating with many localities to organize transportation routes to take tourists to different regions.
We aim to make every rail trip a wonderful experience for visitors," said Mr. Khanh.
Businesses pledge not to increase prices during holidays
Also at the press conference, many tourism businesses in Quang Nam pledged not to increase service prices during the peak holiday season in 2024.
"Our accommodation does not adjust prices or charge any additional fees during the holidays. Room rates from VND2.4 million or more per day and night will remain the same," a representative of Hoiana pledged. Many businesses have made similar statements.
