Destinations most chosen by Vietnamese tourists during Hung Kings' death anniversary holiday

From exploring vibrant cities and relaxing beach resorts, to cultural experiences and peaceful countryside excursions, Vietnamese tourists are choosing a variety of destinations to fully enjoy the Hung Kings' Commemoration Day holiday.

Notably, many high-speed ferry routes have been sold out for the Hung Kings' Anniversary, such as the Rach Gia - Nam Du, Tran De - Con Dao, Rach Gia - Hon Son routes, or some trips on the Phan Thiet - Phu Quy route are also gradually being filled... However, travel agencies say that with the holiday only lasting 3 days, most customers tend to spend time and budget on the April 30 - May 1 holiday.

From coastal experiences to mountain retreats

Assessing the trend of Vietnamese tourists choosing destinations through booking on the online platform Booking.com, Booking.com Country Director in Vietnam, Varun Grover, said that Vietnamese tourists prefer diverse discoveries with destinations stretching from the North to the South, including beaches, mountains and cities.

Meanwhile, centers such as Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi are suitable for short breaks to explore culture and vibrant urban life, while two historical destinations, Hue and Hoi An, are especially attractive to those who love to learn about Vietnamese culture and heritage.
