The company is expected to serve more than 5,000 visitors this Tet, an increase of more than 30% compared to the same period last year. Tet tour prices are relatively stable and have not increased significantly, only increasing for domestic tours due to increased airfares. Tours lasting 4-6 days are popular with tourists.
In particular, international tours are more dominant than domestic tours due to their attractive schedules and reasonable prices. Of which, 25% choose nearby destinations in the region such as Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Indonesia...
Many travel companies have closed domestic and international tours, but still open for sale booking services for flights, hotels, restaurants... during Tet.
For the domestic market, Vietnam Tourism said that the discovery routes to the Northeast, Northwest, Central, Ho Chi Minh City, the Mekong Delta... are chosen by many customers.
In Hanoi, there are quite a lot of tourists registering for flight tours to Dien Bien and the Central Highlands. As for tours departing by car, Viet Travel is still accepting guests such as Phu Yen, Nha Trang, Can Tho, Chau Doc, Kien Giang, Ha Tien... and will close on February 6 (December 27) to ensure time for operations and organization.
Ms. Tran Phuong Linh, Marketing and Information Technology Director, BenThanh Tourist Company, said that the company has completed more than 98% of the 2024 Lunar New Year tour plan.

In particular, the Southeast Asian tour packages are still open for sale with a limited number of seats (1 - 5 seats) for Cambodia tours; Malaysia - Singapore tours and Thailand tours departing on the 3rd and 5th of Tet...
"This year's Tet, the trend of booking foreign tours is dominant over domestic tours, at a rate of more than 60%. Domestic tourism, destinations with beautiful natural landscapes, unique cultural experiences and diverse entertainment activities for family groups (Northern tours, island tours) are still the top priorities" - Ms. Phuong Linh said.
Compared to the same period in 2023, the number of customers booking Tet tours at BenThanh Tourist increased by about 20%. However, compared to the period before COVID-19 (2019), the total number of new customers reached about 87% due to the impact of the economic recession, customers tightened their spending budget.
Ho Chi Minh City tourism industry expects to welcome a sharp increase in domestic and international visitors this Tet holiday.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Minh Hien, Deputy Director of PSY Travel Company, also said that PYS's domestic tours are all fully booked for Tet. In particular, peach and plum blossom viewing routes such as Ha Giang and Moc Chau have been fully booked early. Many spring tours from the third day of Tet to the full moon of January have also increased sharply in the past two weeks.
This year, in addition to the demand for pilgrimages to visit pagodas during the day, customers are also interested in spring tours that combine pagoda visits and relaxation.
To have a safe spring trip, Ms. Tran Thi Bao Thu, Communications Director of Vietluxtour Travel Company, recommends that customers should book travel services with reputable agencies, check carefully before booking to ensure quality, and avoid unnecessary incidents.
Vietluxtour is providing air tickets, restaurants, hotels, and car rental services in the South, Central, and North during Tet, after domestic and international tours have been closed.
