Many overload points
On the occasion of Hung King's death anniversary, April 30 and May 4 recorded a boom in tourism throughout the country, including Thua Thien Hue. Although he did not choose to go out, the family of Mr. Pham Hoang Bao, residing in Ho Chi Minh City. Hue also takes advantage of wandering around a few spots in the province to have the atmosphere of the holiday.
There are two small children at home. Seeing friends all sharing to have fun at C-Farm, Huong Van ward, Huong Tra town, with the introduction: come here to enjoy the fresh air; hand-harvest strawberries and enjoy fresh agricultural products; The children can play with sheep and rabbits... so Mr. Bao decided to come here to experience.
Mr. Bao said that this destination basically meets the needs of the family, because there are pets here for the first time. The ticket price of 70.000 VND/pax is also quite reasonable at the time of the holiday. However, due to the holiday season, there are too many visitors. In the barn area, guests can't squeeze through; Plus it was hot and sunny, so the whole family only went in to play for more than 30 minutes and then left.
Also choosing the above tourist destination as a family entertainment destination, Mr. Vu Hoai Phuong, former Rector of Hue Tourism College, assessed that this destination basically satisfies the needs of domestic and intra-provincial tourists. Currently. However, some factors, if well improved, will form an attractive destination. It is the road to the small tourist destination, difficult to go, traveling by car is quite difficult. With a moderate area and experiences at the destination, it is necessary to calculate the appropriate amount to avoid overcrowding, helping visitors have enough experience space when coming here.
From the fact that such a new destination attracts tourists, to see that in Hue for a long time, domestic tourists often have very little choice of entertainment spots on holidays and even on weekends. Going to the beach, waterfalls, or going to the movies are considered the main choices of domestic tourists.
Mr. Tran Van Truyen, Branch Manager of You Dong Hanh Trading and Tourism Services Co., Ltd (A Travel Mate) analyzed, various types of entertainment and entertainment, such as water parks, thrilling games in the There are no amusement parks. Therefore, every time there is a new destination in the province, it becomes a "hot" destination, attracting a lot of tourists to use the service. In terms of tour construction, this also affects the lack of diversity in tours.
Tourists to Hue during the past holiday also noted the overload of many destinations and hotels. The most crowded are heritage spots. As on May 1, the heritage system received 5 thousand visitors, a record number ever. So crowded that the electronic ticketing system was overloaded, leading to malfunctions.
Demand increases faster than service supply
The story of Thua Thien Hue tourism's lack of places to play is not new. After each peak season for customer service, or each time entering the peak season, domestic visitors (summer) continue to be indicated. But in general, over the years, entertainment and entertainment services have not changed.
A number of entertainment and entertainment projects have been announced with high expectations, but implementation has been slow, such as Dun Sam Park (Huong Thuy); Thuy Tien Water Park is slow to renovate to bring exploitation back…
Among the indicators showing the optimism of tourism in the ancient capital, especially after the holidays, there is one that needs to be evaluated. That is the total number of visitors to Hue in 5 days is nearly 100 thousand turns, but staying guests reached 54,4 thousand turns. On average, Hue serves about 11 turns per day. Up to the time before the ceremony, there were more than 13 rooms in Hue with 21,2 thousand beds. Thus, Hue tourism can still welcome more guests to stay. The next thing to do is new products, services, and attractions to retain visitors.
The domestic tourism season has come, will tourism have any new products and services to attract tourists besides heritage tourism? The latest is that Hue has a new pedestrian street. According to tourism businesses, Hai Ba Trung pedestrian street cannot be a factor to help visitors decide to come to Hue, because this pedestrian street is quite similar to pedestrian streets in the country.
According to Ms. Duong Thi Cong Ly, Vice President of the Travel Association, the newly formed product in time with the needs of tourists will increase the ability to attract tourists and vice versa. The faster the tourism services and entertainment spots are formed, the more effective the destination will be. In Hue, objectively, the construction of products and services is often slower than the demand. Besides, the product formation process is long, slowing down the innovation of the destination.
Ms. Ly cited as an example, there are sunflower gardens in Huong Ho, flower gardens in Van The (Thuy Thanh), Son Tho lake (Huong Tho) ... visitors to "check-in" are very crowded, but after a while it decreased. gradually attractive. The common point of these destinations is that the life cycle is short, the level of investment is not too large, many destinations still have monotonous services, so after 1-2 seasons, there are no visitors.
Entertainment plays an important role in the tourism industry, especially in attracting domestic and provincial tourists. Hue tourism needs to be faster in product formation.
