According to a tourism industry leader, the number of visitors this year has increased but not dramatically because a part of tourists prioritize going to Hanoi to attend the National Day celebration on September 2. In addition, the weather in Da Lat in recent days has been quite erratic, with sunny mornings and cloudy and rainy afternoons, so the number of tourists coming here is not too crowded. Therefore, most of the tourists are concentrated in the Phan Thiet beach area. Tr.Nguyen
