Total revenue from tourism will reach about VND 4,500 billion, an increase of 80% compared to 2024.

The high demand for rest and sightseeing has led to high occupancy rates in 3-5 star hotels, with many hotels being 100% full on September 1. Accommodation and tourism service establishments strictly follow regulations on safety, fire prevention and fighting, environmental sanitation and food safety.

It is estimated that during the September 2 holiday in 2025, the average room occupancy rate of hotels and tourist apartments will reach about 83%, an increase of 22.6 percentage points over the same period in 2024.

Also on this occasion, the National Achievements Exhibition with the theme "80 years of Independence-Freedom-Happiness journey" took place at the National Exhibition Center, attracting about 1.2 million visitors in just 3 days (from August 28 to August 31, 2025).
