Phu Tho is expected to welcome about 8 million visitors during this occasion, with about 2.5 million visitors coming in the past few days. Because this is the first year that many cultural events are held at the same time, and coincides with the April 30 - May 1 holiday, the number of visitors will be higher than other occasions. The Organizing Committee has reviewed accommodation facilities to have a plan to divide the flow, avoiding local overload.
In addition, Phu Tho also committed to not having any price gouging or traffic diversion to avoid "disruption". Subcommittees on security, health, traffic... have also made plans to best prepare for major events.
