Should you book your Tet holiday tour early?

Vui Phet Night Market - a must-visit destination for tourists in Phu Quoc.

According to Ms. Tran Thi Bao Thu, Director of Marketing and Communications at Vietluxtour, during this year's Lunar New Year and Gregorian New Year holidays, the MICE, inbound, outbound, and domestic individual tour markets are projected to experience good growth, but not breakthroughs. Attractive destinations in Northeast Asia and numerous promotional programs will attract Vietnamese tourists. The domestic market is facing considerable competitive pressure due to relatively high service prices.

Ms. Thu said that typically, for travel services during the Lunar New Year holiday, many families book very early, starting in October. They can book individual services or packages and combos.

"Tourists who book early will have more choices regarding destinations, times, and services that suit their needs and those of their family," Ms. Thu said, adding that discounted deals and increased flights don't always come around, so it's advisable to book all services early.

Many families prefer to book all services separately for convenience and a flexible schedule, without being dependent on others. However, for large groups of tourists, including children and the elderly, it is advisable to choose a package tour to avoid incurring extra costs beyond the planned itinerary, according to Ms. Thu. If possible, private tours can be booked, but the price will usually be higher.

Some things to keep in mind when traveling during peak season.

- Tourists should book through reputable travel companies or agencies because there are many cases of fraud or poor-quality services online during peak seasons.

- Group tours can save you several million dong, and booking early may even get you a lower price.

Choosing to travel at the beginning or end of your holiday will help reduce costs.

- Travelers should arrive at the airport early, as travel issues often arise during peak season.
