Attraction from promotions and historical tours: Ho Chi Minh City tourism "explodes" during the holidays

According to information from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism, the total number of visitors to the city's tourist attractions reached about 1,450,000, including 45,600 international visitors. The number of guests staying at accommodation facilities reached about 300,000, with an estimated room occupancy rate of up to 87%. This is a positive signal showing the strong attraction of the city's tourism after a long time.

Efforts from policy to incentives

According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism, the success of this holiday comes from the synchronous implementation of many solutions. Notably, the series of events celebrating the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day September 2, combined with the promotion of tourism programs associated with historical relics. Heritage discovery tours such as "Saigon Discovery Walk" connecting the Post Office , Notre Dame Cathedral, and Independence Palace have attracted a large number of tourists. At the same time, modern tourism products such as open-top buses, Saigon River cruises, and Water Buses have also contributed to enriching the experience.

Another key factor is the attractive promotional policies from businesses. The accommodation system has strongly reduced prices from 15-45%, along with incentives such as free breakfast, service vouchers or shuttle services. Similarly, restaurants, entertainment areas, and shopping centers also apply "golden hours" with discounts from 10-50%, stimulating the purchasing power and spending of tourists.

Vung Tau and Ho Tram become the "capitals" of resort tourism

Besides the vibrant inner-city destinations such as the Zoo, Independence Palace or commercial centers, the coastal areas of Vung Tau and Ho Tram (formerly Ba Ria - Vung Tau ) have become the top choices for vacationers.

This place is not only attractive because of its natural resources but also because of its room promotions with discounts of 15-40%, along with additional services such as spa, cuisine and bustling sea sports activities.

Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism assessed that Ho Tram is gradually affirming its position as the "new high-end tourism capital", with luxurious resorts, pristine space and fresh air, meeting the high-quality resort needs of tourists.
