The exorbitant prices deter tourists.
According to surveys, round-trip airfares for popular routes during the April 30th - May 1st holiday are high, increasing by 40% - 70% compared to the same period last year. For example, round-trip tickets for the Hanoi - Ho Chi Minh City route range from 4 to 7 million VND, and even exceed 10 million VND. Flights to popular tourist destinations such as Da Nang, Nha Trang, and Phu Quoc have similar prices.
