The best deals on year-end travel.

For localities that primarily serve domestic tourists, such as Thanh Hoa, the last months of the year are a relatively quiet period, requiring tourism businesses to have flexible and appropriate demand stimulation strategies. Therefore, tourism in the last months of the year not only avoids overcrowding but also allows tourists to benefit from various incentives offered by demand stimulation policies.

Anh Phuong Hotel (Hai Tien Beach Ecotourism Area) is launching many great promotional programs in the last months of the year.

According to the Provincial Tourism Association, in order to attract tourists during the off-season, most tourist areas, attractions, accommodation establishments, restaurants, transportation companies, etc., have begun to implement promotional programs and discounts on services. In particular, some accommodation providers are offering discounts of up to 50%, and separate policies are being applied for travel agencies.

In the Hai Tien Beach Ecotourism Area (Hoang Hoa district), many accommodation and restaurant businesses are striving to maintain visitor numbers during the off-season. One of the advantages of this destination is that activities and events at Flamingo Ibiza Hai Tien are regularly organized, especially cultural, culinary, and musical events on weekends. Therefore, tourists can choose to stay and dine at establishments in the Hai Tien beach area and then travel to Flamingo Ibiza to participate in these activities and events.

Understanding the needs of tourists, Anh Phuong Hotel is currently offering room rate discounts of up to 50%, and is also developing a plan to collaborate with Flamingo Ibiza Hai Tien to tap into the tourist market in the final months of the year. According to Le Xuan Thao, Director of Hai Tien Investment and Tourism Company: “In the last months of the year, the number of tourists visiting Hai Tien decreases sharply compared to the peak season. However, this is precisely the time for tourists to enjoy better service prices and higher quality services. Along with that, right after the end of the summer peak season, we invested about 10 billion VND to replace and supplement some interior furnishings and equipment in all our hotel rooms, and are now ready to serve tourists. In addition, we are also researching and developing plans to collaborate with other units to create tours from our accommodation to some cultural and spiritual tourist destinations in the district and the Flamingo Ibiza Hai Tien area, giving tourists more new and attractive experiences. This will stimulate tourism demand and gradually attract more visitors to Hai Tien during the off-season.”

It is known that throughout this autumn-winter season, Flamingo Ibiza Hai Tien will regularly host live music shows, art performances, and street food on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The resort is also planning to host the exciting Ibiza Autumn Music Program and the Flamingo Halloween Festival. The Ibiza Autumn Music Program is scheduled to take place in October, featuring many famous artists, with a planned frequency of one show every two weeks.

It can be said that the last months of the year are the best time for tourists to "hunt for sales," with many promotions and discounts offered simultaneously at all tourist areas and attractions in the province. Representatives of several tourism service businesses in the province said that most accommodation establishments will offer deep discounts and increase experiential activities to "retain" customers, maintain operations, and even break even to avoid prolonged periods of low occupancy. This is not only a time for tourists to enjoy a complete holiday at the best price, with the most diverse experiences, but also to avoid overcrowding.

According to Vu Van Binh, head of the Travel Association branch (Provincial Tourism Association), there are many reasons for tourists to visit Thanh Hoa in the last months of the year. First, there is a diverse range of tourism products for tourists to choose from, including beach tourism products which are maintained this year with many attractive and high-class activities, festivals, and entertainment. During this time, tourists can choose to travel independently or use all-inclusive service packages from travel agencies with discounts of up to 45%. Furthermore, the autumn-winter weather is very favorable for sightseeing, relaxation, and outdoor activities. To ensure quality service, tourists should contact and gather information about destinations in advance to avoid situations where some tourism service businesses temporarily cease operations during this period, especially in some coastal tourist areas.

Travel agencies also warn that scammers often take advantage of this time of year to market "cheap tours" or "zero-cost tours." Therefore, customers need to be cautious of these cheap travel scams, avoiding being exploited and participating in low-quality sales activities that result in financial losses. Furthermore, state management agencies need to strengthen their management, control, and warning efforts to prevent the negative aspects of cheap tours in the final months of the year.

According to forecasts from tourism businesses, the number of visitors to Thanh Hoa in the last months of the year could increase by 15-20% compared to the same period last year, especially the number of international tourists visiting community-based ecotourism areas and some resorts in the province will experience strong growth. Therefore, along with proactively improving service quality, service businesses need to strengthen links with partners inside and outside the province, and at the same time enhance experiential activities to meet the needs of tourists when visiting Thanh Hoa.
