A group of 4,500 Indian tourists, from a large pharmaceutical corporation, has arrived in Vietnam to begin their tour. With the aim of exploring the natural beauty and culture of Vietnam, the group will spend most of their time visiting many famous places.
They will split into small groups to visit famous landmarks such as Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Temple of Literature, Hoa Lo Prison, Ha Long Bay and Trang An. The amount of money this group spent on tickets to visit tourist attractions in Vietnam alone was up to nearly 3.2 billion VND.
The 4,500-strong Indian tourist group, with its strong purchasing power, has turned buying entrance tickets at tourist attractions into a huge source of revenue.
First, in Hanoi, the Temple of Literature - Quoc Tu Giam has applied new ticket prices from January 1, 2024. The ticket price for adults is 70,000 VND/person, for students is 35,000 VND, and free for children under 16 years old. With 4,500 Indian tourists buying tickets at 70,000 VND/person, the total amount spent on this attraction will be 315 million VND. At Hoa Lo Prison, the current ticket price is 50,000 VND/person. The amount that the group of tourists must spend to visit is 225 million VND.
Ha Long Bay, with its majestic beauty, will be the group's next destination. With ticket prices ranging from 260,000 to 310,000 VND/person, visiting all the routes here means that the Indian group will pay up to 1,395 billion VND.
In addition to the ticket price, hiring a tour guide is also a significant investment. At VND300,000/tour/guide and requiring at least 3 guides per group, this cost can increase significantly depending on how the group is divided.
With the aim of discovering the natural beauty and culture of Vietnam, the group will spend most of their time visiting many famous places.
Who would have thought that, just from the basic entrance fee, the Indian tourist group would have "poured" into the Vietnamese economy an amount of up to 3,172 billion VND? This number is truly impressive and shows the attractiveness of Vietnam's tourist destinations to international visitors.
In addition, the group will use high-class accommodation services at 4-5 star hotels and have their own requirements for food, suitable for beliefs and religions. In addition, they also require a minimum of 3 tour guides for each group of about 30-35 people to ensure the best experience. The selected tour guides must all know Hindu, the introduction at the tourist attractions is usually in English - Vietnamese will have additional information boards translated into Hindu.
