Two weeks before the April 30 holiday, Ms. Pham Anh (42 years old, Phu Tho) planned a family trip to Hoa Binh for two days and one night, with the criteria of a vacation close to home.
She made a list of more than 10 luxury resorts in Hoa Binh, with room rates ranging from 5-19 million VND/room. However, when calling all 10 resorts, Ms. He received the message "no rooms available".
"There is only one area with 6 rooms left for my family, but the price is double the usual price. It fluctuates around 6 million VND/room, with a breakfast surcharge of 600,000 VND/person. While on normal days, the room price here is only 2-3 million VND, including breakfast," said Ms. Older brother.
Many tourists who want to travel to Hoa Binh during the April 30 and May 1 holidays have had similar experiences to Ms. Pham Anh. Despite booking early, they could not find suitable options, or had to pay many expensive additional fees.
According to a reporter's survey, Hoa Binh has a variety of accommodation types from community housing; 3-4 star hotels to high-end resorts and retreats.

On the occasion of April 30 and May 1, isolated resorts in Mai Chau, Kim Boi and Luong Son districts are popular with tourists and are fully booked a month in advance.
Avana Retreat Resort Mai Chau representative said that on the two main holidays of April 30 and May 1, the resort was fully booked with all 36 villas.
"Especially the 2-4 person rooms for families booked very early, 1-2 months before the holiday we had no more rooms left," said a resort representative.
Likewise, Serena Resort Kim Boi also reported that it has reached a 90% booking rate since the beginning of April. Guests booking at this time (2-3 days before the holiday) are forced to refuse.
stirring, tourists often choose family experience packages, including a night's stay, breakfast and ethnic cultural experiences. Prices range from 2.4 to 3.1 million VND/package for 2 adults and 2 children under 12 years old.
Commenting on the situation of full rooms early, customers struggling to book rooms in Hoa Binh, Mr. Bui Thanh Tu - marketing director of Best Price Company - said that Hoa Binh has the advantage of being close to Hanoi , cool nature so it is chosen by many tourists for short-term family vacations.
"In addition, in reality, in Hoa Binh, there are not many places to stay at the moment. Retail agents only "hold" combo service packages and they sell out in a moment. Individual customers who book "last minute" will not have many ideal options left," said Mr. Tu.
Regarding the proportion of foreign visitors, Mr. Tu said that because it is the end of the inbound season (foreign visitors to Vietnam), the number of inbound visitors to Hoa Binh in particular and the whole country in general, during the 5-day holiday of April 30 and May 1, accounted for about 20%, Vietnamese visitors were 80%.
In addition to Hoa Binh, BestPrice noted that Northern locations such as Ha Long, Lao Cai, Ninh Binh... are popular with Vietnamese guests, with high booking rates during the holiday.
The domestic destination considered to have the most sudden growth during this year's holiday is Ho Chi Minh City. At Mr. Tu's company alone, customers booking air tickets to Ho Chi Minh City from April 29 to May 4 increased 3 times compared to the same period last year.
