Businesses "launch" shockingly priced resort vouchers to stimulate the market

Attractive price, many experiences

Unlike tours, travel combos are one of the forms of stimulating tourism demand because of their low prices that attract tourists. Accordingly, services such as hotel reservations, airline tickets, travel combos, tours, tickets to entertainment areas... can all be sold in the form of vouchers.

On the website Vinpearl Nha Trang offers many attractive resort vouchers.

The advantage of this tour package is that you are not limited by time like traditional tours, you can be proactive about the time and place of travel, you do not have to worry about accommodation when traveling alone, you are free to explore and experience domestic and international travel, you do not have to sleep with strangers..., and you can enjoy many attractive promotions when booking a combo.

Anticipating market demand before this year's summer tourist season, tourism businesses have begun to "launch" many shockingly priced resort vouchers to customers.

On the Vinpearl Nha Trang website, a month ago, many attractive vouchers were introduced to the market. In particular, Vinpearl Nha Trang is running a 3-day, 2-night voucher program with special promotions for accommodation facilities in the system in Nha Trang.

Travel combo for sale on groups

For example, Vinpearl Resort & Spa Nha Trang Bay, 10% discount for members, discounts on hotel services such as golf, spa, cuisine, free cable car, entertainment.

Vinearl Phu Quoc system is also launching combos of air tickets and Vinpearl Phu Quoc hotels at super attractive prices, saving significant costs for tourists.

Known as the operator of many 5-star cruises in Lan Ha Bay and Ha Long Bay, LuxGroup is currently introducing to the market a promotion program and vouchers for Vietnamese customers to experience 5-star cruises in Lan Ha Bay and Ha Long Bay.

Informing reporters of Cong Thuong Newspaper, Ms. Lieu Pham - Marketing Department of LuxGroup said that since January, the company has launched a promotion program for 3-day-2-night Lan Ha Bay and Ha Long Bay cruises with prices equivalent to 2 days and 1 night, ranging from 7 - 10 million VND/2 guests.

Ms. Lieu Pham said that in May, the number of customers booking rooms with promotional packages and vouchers at LuxGroup increased. “Due to the increase in airfares, destinations such as Ha Long and Lan Ha Bay are attracting tourists’ attention. Accordingly, with a 30% discount, LuxGroup’s cruise programs and services are popular with customers,” Ms. Lieu said.

According to the reporter of Cong Thuong Newspaper, from the beginning of May 2024, the number of customers with demand for travel combos has started to increase. The most popular destinations for tourists this summer are islands such as Phu Quoc, Con Dao, Quy Nhon, Da Nang... and some provinces in the Northern region such as Nghe An, Quang Ninh, Thanh Hoa, Ha Giang, Lao Cai...

Through research on groups and fanpages, travel agencies are also bustling to introduce many attractive combo prices. For example, with prices starting from 600,000 VND/2 days 1 night/guest, there is a Hanoi - Ha Giang; Hanoi - Sa Pa combo including 3-star hotel and round-trip sleeper bus, or about 6 million VND/guest for a Phu Quoc travel combo including round-trip airfare and hotel.

Similarly, the 2-day-1-night 5-star Queen/Vitamia cruise luxury cruise combo departing from Hanoi by Limousine, including overnight stay at a 5-star hotel or equivalent; tickets to visit Ha Long Bay, kayaking fees; 01 seafood buffet lunch on the ship and a tour guide is currently on sale for more than 3.3 million VND/person.

Notably, some travel companies also offer diverse combo packages designed for small groups and individual guests, with short breaks, and flexibly apply policies on tour postponement and schedule changes so that guests can travel with peace of mind.

According to some travel agency representatives, the prices of tours and travel combos this year will have even more attractive incentives because the prices have received support from localities, tourism businesses, and accommodation establishments in response to the domestic tourism stimulus program "Vietnamese people travel to Vietnam - Vietnam I love" in 2024, which has just been launched nationwide by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

Beware of cheap travel combos

However, besides the combos offered to attract tourists by reputable businesses and resorts, there have also been many people taking advantage of the psychology of cheap prices and big promotions to scam customers who buy combos and vouchers via social networks.

Many people take advantage of the psychology of cheap prices and big promotions to scam customers who buy combos and vouchers via social networks.

For example, on social networks, there are personal accounts offering a 3-day, 2-night Phu Quoc resort package at a 5-star hotel with round-trip airfare and breakfast for only 5 million VND/person. Or there is a travel company offering a Nha Trang, Da Nang tour combo departing from Hanoi, 3 days, 2 nights at a 5-star hotel, airfare, airport shuttle, and breakfast buffet at a discount of up to 40%...

A representative of a travel company in Cau Giay district, Hanoi said that, in essence, travel agencies or individuals selling combos cannot "discount as much as they like". Therefore, the price difference between companies and individuals will not be too large, so there cannot be "super cheap combos" as advertised on social networks and groups.

Therefore, to avoid troubles and losing money for inexperienced customers who do not have time to research and verify the seller, it is best to find reputable and long-standing travel companies. When dealing with businesses, consumers will certainly receive a written commitment and be protected by law.

Recently, the authorities have also stepped up warnings to people to carefully research information when choosing cheap travel packages. In particular, it is recommended to choose tour booking, room booking, and airline ticket booking services from reputable companies or through travel apps; be wary of advertisements selling travel packages at prices that are too cheap (30-50% cheaper than the general market price), as well as be cautious of requests to transfer a deposit to hold a seat.
