Vesak 2025: Introducing Vietnamese spiritual tourism to visitors

According to tourism and travel businesses, the Vesak 2025 tour series aims to open up opportunities to worship Buddha's relics, the first national treasure of India, invited to Vietnam, while ensuring that tourists return to sacred Buddhist lands, sow good karma, cultivate merit and find inner peace.

Therefore, the Vesak 2025 tour series designed by tourism and travel businesses is not only a pilgrimage, but also focuses on flexible tour itineraries in terms of time, route and content, meeting the needs of spiritual experiences such as: attending a peace-praying ceremony, releasing flower lanterns to pray for peace, enjoying pure vegetarian cuisine , visiting and learning about local culture associated with Buddhist life.

Specifically, domestic and foreign tourists can choose and participate in tours from now until May 8 at the Vietnam Buddhist Academy (branch 2, Ho Chi Minh City); from May 9-14 at Quan Su Pagoda ( Hanoi ); from May 15-21 at Tam Chuc Pagoda (Ha Nam) organized by tourism and travel businesses in Ho Chi Minh City.

In addition, to add value to each tourist's journey, travel and tourism businesses also organize meaningful pilgrimages to many famous Buddhist sites in Vietnam.

Typically, Vietravel Tourism Company introduces destinations in the south such as visiting the Lonely Buddha Temple - a peaceful place in the middle of a peaceful land, where the majestic meditating Buddha statue is worshiped. At the same time, pilgrimage to Ba Den Mountain - where the largest Buddha statue in Asia is located, sacred and majestic in the middle of the forest.

The highlight of Vietravel's special tour series to celebrate Vesak 2025 is "Binh Chanh: Connecting memories - Phap Tang Pagoda - Bat Buu Phat Dai" with a duration of 1 day, departing on May 6, 8 and 10, priced from 699,000 VND.

In the north, there is a journey taking tourists to Bai Dinh Pagoda - the largest pagoda complex in Southeast Asia with a massive system of statues; to the sacred Yen Tu mountain, where King Tran Nhan Tong founded the Truc Lam Zen sect; Tam Chuc Pagoda (Ha Nam) - the most majestic spiritual landscape in Vietnam... which will also become the center for organizing the important Vesak 2025 ceremonies, spreading the spirit of solidarity and the desire for peace everywhere.

Meanwhile, in some other tourism and travel businesses, along with organizing accommodation for thousands of delegates from 85 countries and territories participating in the 2025 Vesak Festival, the top priority is to ensure strict requirements on service quality for each group of guests.

Along with that, the enterprise must deploy a flexible transportation system with a team of experienced staff, from drivers, operators to tour guides... to serve the thoughtful transportation of delegates from the airport, hotel to the festival venue and sightseeing according to the schedule.

In particular, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism introduced 9 1-2 day tour programs for delegates to experience and learn about relics, tourist destinations, craft village products, cultural activities, etc. in Binh Chanh district and neighboring areas.

The Department also coordinated with a number of units to organize booths to promote information and tourism such as: incense making village, yellow apricot village; selling souvenirs, regional specialties, OCOP products, etc.
