In all three regions of the North, Central and South, most localities were bustling with visitors during the 4-day September 2 holiday. With special festival and event programs at many destinations, Vietnam tourism has gradually affirmed its brand to domestic and foreign tourists.
Spending the recent holidays visiting the Northwestern provinces, Mr. Nguyen The Bang, residing in Hanoi, said: “What makes this year’s destinations so attractive is not only the diversity of events, festivals or new experiences, but also the way they are decorated and welcomed visitors at many tourist destinations, which has aroused patriotism and national pride. Thanks to that, I find my trip more meaningful.”
Fansipan is the place that impressed The Bang the most during his visit to the Northwest region. Participating in the flag-raising ceremony and singing the national anthem at the highest flagpole of the country, he felt even more clearly the national pride.
The small houses in May village are also decorated with thousands of red flags with yellow stars and covered with beautiful straw and ripe rice, creating a meaningful space. The highlight of the tourist area right on Fansipan is the nearly 4m high national flag, made from 10,000 roses, attracting many tourists to check-in.
Overall, during the recent holiday, Lao Cai welcomed about 196,500 visitors, of which Sa Pa town welcomed about 122,770, an increase of 33.2% over the same period in 2023. Total tourism revenue in Lao Cai province in recent days has reached about 606 billion VND.
