Summer vacation combined with tourism

My hamlet has more than twenty households from Quang Tri and Quang Nam who have lived there since the 1980s. Every year, the elderly return to visit their relatives in their hometown. They say that even though they are successful in business and can "lay down" in Binh Thuan because they consider it their second hometown, they still remember the memories of their hometown in their hearts, so they have to go back from time to time. Most of the generation of children born between 1980 and 2000 went to Ho Chi Minh City and the southern provinces to study, work, and get married, so their children are "true" city residents and have little idea of what it's like in their hometown. Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoang and her husband, Mr. Hoang Dat, in Tan Uyen City, Binh Duong, recently brought their two children to Ham Thuan Bac to visit their maternal family. Their two children just had summer vacation, so the family arranged time for them to return to their maternal hometown to both rest and learn about the countryside. She said: Urban life is so busy making a living that there is not much time to go here and there, especially when going back to the countryside, we are in a hurry and cannot bring our children back because we are busy with school, so the children are "blind" to the countryside. The other day, after taking the children to swim in Phan Thiet beach and eat fresh seafood, the two children asked to go to Da Mi to see what durian, mangosteen, and macadamia trees look like because they have been eating fruit for so long but have not seen any trees. Booking a 2-day camping tour in the macadamia garden, the children "scoured" the hill all day and "brought" back all the fruits they collected such as macadamia, durian, avocado, mangosteen... with excitement when showing them off online to their friends in the city...

Returning to the hometown, the first feeling is to live in the loving arms of relatives. A feeling that only those who work in other provinces or live far from home can understand its sacred value. Returning to the hometown, a feeling of peace seems to flow back into each person. In the hometown, time seems to stand still when visiting old friends. When meeting, in addition to asking about health, they also recall beautiful memories of the time when they were attached to their homeland. Some people who used to be poor now return to work far away and are successful. Returning to the hometown, eating rustic dishes cooked by relatives years ago suddenly feels strangely delicious. Such as garden chicken salad, porridge, sour snakehead fish soup, crispy fried perch, braised catfish with ginger leaves... In the bustling city, sometimes when you want to enjoy these dishes, you still don't have time. But returning to the hometown, you have the atmosphere of family reunion, a little time to leisurely chat and eat a hot meal, and all the worries of life suddenly disappear.

Booking.com (online travel platform) has just announced the survey data for early summer 2025 from June 1 to July 31 on the priority of choosing beach routes, exploring nature and traveling to big cities, in which the rate of exploring nature is chosen by 59% of respondents, second only to going to the beach at 61%. This shows the attraction of lake - waterfall - rural tourism exploration tours that are being chosen by many tourists for their summer trips, especially the young generation... Binh Thuan tourism during this time is winning big thanks to the favorable effects of the two expressways Phan Thiet - Dau Giay and Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet. In addition, the Department of Tourism and tourism businesses have coordinated to organize many cultural, sports , culinary and event programs to create attractive features for tourists to come. Besides its strengths in the sea, Binh Thuan has raised the level of developing community tourism, rural tourism, lake - waterfall - forest tourism to meet the demand of visitors who want to experience and explore nature.

Summer vacation, taking your children back to the countryside to visit relatives and travel with the extended family sounds quite rustic but has a strange appeal. Going back to the countryside, you can eat the dishes you like, let your children strengthen their relationship with their grandparents, and help them explore and learn life skills. The countryside is peaceful with fish ponds, colorful gardens, and ripe red or golden fruits hanging from the branches that fascinate everyone. Have you taken your children back to the countryside this summer? Let's take a trip...
