This year's National Day holiday on September 2nd will last for 4 consecutive days. This is a holiday that takes place before the start of the new school year, so people's travel and entertainment needs are high. In Ho Chi Minh City, localities and tourism businesses are ready for inter-city and inter-city tours with diverse schedules to meet the needs of entertainment and tourism right in the city. A representative of Vietluxtour Company said that on the occasion of the September 2nd holiday this year, the number of customers booking inner-city tours accounts for about 10% of the total number of individual customers, including domestic customers (mostly in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi , families, students, office workers, etc.) and international customers (Europe, Australia, America). The price of inner-city tours in the summer and fall of 2024 is not much different from that of 2023. Because since the time after the COVID-19 epidemic until now, tourism services in general and tourism services in Ho Chi Minh City in particular have decreased fluctuations.
