Notably, total tourism revenue is estimated at 2,940 billion VND, an increase of 1.7% compared to the same period last year.
According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism, the positive developments in the city's tourism sector are due to the Department's efforts to instruct tourism accommodation establishments and tourism businesses to implement measures to ensure the security and safety of tourists and improve the quality of tourism services.
Among the attractions that drew tourists to Ho Chi Minh City during the holiday was the "Tour Program to the National Architectural and Artistic Monument: Headquarters of the People's Council and People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City" on August 31st and September 1st, attracting nearly 2,000 domestic and international visitors.
The program aims to enhance the promotion of the city's history and development, contributing to brand building and development, and fostering the development of unique and distinctive tourism products linked to its historical and cultural heritage.
"The long holiday period provides a basis for a strong increase in tourism. The main tourist groups are families, young or middle-aged friends who haven't been able to arrange time for summer vacations, and most of them travel domestically independently," said a representative from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism.
To stimulate tourism, many destinations in Ho Chi Minh City have launched various promotional programs and incentives, such as:
Suoi Tien Cultural Tourist Area is offering 2,000 free entrance tickets, circus performances, water shows, and especially the opportunity to experience and enjoy many rare fruit varieties such as American figs, Taiwanese (China) Ruby guavas, and Indian red pomegranates…
