Vietnam's smallest city welcomes nearly 1 million tourists on April 30 and May 1 holidays

According to the report of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Thanh Hoa province, during the April 30 and May 1 holidays, the province's tourism industry welcomed about 1.6 million visitors, with estimated revenue of VND4,170 billion. Thanh Hoa is the locality that welcomes the second highest number of visitors and revenue in the country, after Ho Chi Minh City during this holiday.

Sam Son beach was packed with tourists during the recent April 30 and May 1 holidays.

Sam Son coastal city, the smallest city in Vietnam, continues to "carry the team" of Thanh Hoa tourism, welcoming more than 916,000 visitors, with estimated revenue reaching nearly 2,000 billion VND.

According to the report of the People's Committee of Sam Son City, during the 5-day holiday (from April 30 to May 4), this locality welcomed 916,000 arrivals, equal to 101.2% over the same period, of which the number of overnight guests was 582,000, equal to 103.0% over the same period in 2024.

The total number of visitors during the 5-day holiday in Sam Son was 1.847 million, of which 1.513 million were overnight visitors. Total revenue was estimated at 1,960 billion VND, equal to 103.3% compared to the same period last year.

Nearly 1 million visitors came to Sam Son to have fun and swim in the sea.

A representative of the People's Committee of Sam Son City said that in order to welcome a large number of visitors to Sam Son each year, the city always strives to become a city of festivals. From the beginning of the year, Sam Son has proactively coordinated with provincial departments, agencies, businesses, and event organizers to develop plans to organize programs and series of cultural, tourism, festival, and sports events.

At the same time, many unique and attractive tourism products will be added to serve tourists such as: Sun World Water Park, sea square, Sam Son City festival landscape axis; walking street combined with souvenir shopping, refreshments, display and introduction of OCOP products...

It is known that in recent years, the number of tourists flocking to Sam Son has increased day by day. In 2025, Sam Son strives to welcome 9.68 million visitors, serving 19.9 million visitors; tourism revenue is estimated at 21 trillion VND.

Tourists capture beautiful moments in Sam Son

To achieve the above goal, Sam Son City said it will continue to accelerate the development of southern tourism with resort tourism and culinary areas to serve tourists. At the same time, the city will continue to create favorable conditions for domestic and foreign enterprises to invest in tourism facilities, especially entertainment services and high-class restaurants.

In particular, Sam Son will focus on researching and perfecting night economic services (night markets, walking streets...) to attract customers with high spending ability and long stay, with the expectation of shifting the number of customers in both space and time.

There are many reasons why Sam Son always attracts the most tourists in the North and North Central regions. Because, Sam Son is famous for its golden sand beach stretching for kilometers from Truong Le mountain to FLC resort. In particular, since the Mai Son - National Highway 45 highway was put into operation at the end of April 2023, the travel time from Hanoi to Thanh Hoa has been shortened to less than 2 hours. Tourists to Sam Son only take about 2.5 - 3 hours by car, much more convenient than before.

In addition, the breakthrough development in infrastructure, tourism services as well as cultural activities and festivals that take place regularly are also highlights that help Sam Son attract visitors.
