However, there are still places that increase parking fees during Tet. At Ung Thien communal house, Lang Ha street, Hanoi, the motorbike parking fee has doubled, 10,000 VND/vehicle.
Assessing cultural and festival activities, Ms. Ninh Thi Thu Huong, Director of the Department of Grassroots Culture, Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, said that regarding the management of the Spring festival in 2024, the Ministry and the Department have issued many documents to localities.
Through synthesis, this year's festival management work is more innovative than previous years. Provinces and cities have proactively proposed key, focused plans with forecasts for local festival activities. Many localities have issued master plans for common festival activities, thereby directly directing authorities at all levels to develop scenarios and plans, including many feasible plans for festival activities.
Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Nguyen Van Hung commented that in this year's festival season, many previous shortcomings in previous festival seasons have now been rectified, with active participation from localities.
