Summer vacation is the ideal time for people to travel, rest and relax after a year of stressful study and work. Due to the hot weather, many people choose to travel to the beach to enjoy the cool air and participate in recreational activities on the beach. Some famous beach tourist destinations such as Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, Da Nang, Ha Long, ... always attract a large number of domestic and foreign tourists, especially in the summer.
In particular, due to many factors such as rising fuel prices, high operating costs,... airfares have increased significantly in recent times. This makes it difficult for many people, especially middle and low income families, to pay.
Compared to airplanes, sleeper train tickets are much more reasonable, suitable for the budget of many families and tourists. Train tickets are usually only one-third or one-quarter of the price of plane tickets for the same journey. Trains are a suitable choice for long journeys, allowing passengers to comfortably rest and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. Modern train cars today are equipped with many amenities such as air-conditioned sleeper beds, wifi, TV, etc. to meet the diverse needs of passengers.
People choose trains as the optimal means of transport for the summer tourist season.
Currently, some trains are completely sold out, such as SE19 (departing at 7:40 p.m. and arriving at 6:00 a.m.), SE17 (departing at 8:25 p.m. and arriving at 7:54 a.m.). SE1 (departing at 8:55 p.m. and arriving at 6:53 a.m.) has 3 seats left. This sold-out situation is expected to last until mid-July, especially for high-quality trains with good timings.
Compared to air travel, traveling by train has many advantages, which attract small groups of travelers, especially in the context of high airfares. Train fares are much more stable than airfares, less affected by market demand. Trains do not apply the "price band" mechanism like planes, where ticket prices can increase dramatically during peak hours or when close to the departure date. Thanks to that, travelers can easily budget for their trip.
The train has 2-berth cabins and serves free meals.
When traveling in small groups, the cost of sharing a train ticket is often cheaper than a plane ticket. Trains do not have many additional fees such as checked baggage, seat selection, etc., helping travelers save more money.
Traveling by train offers an experience of connecting with the local landscape and people that planes cannot provide. Travelers can relax, move freely in the train, chat, and have fun with friends without being limited by space like on a plane.
Railway tourism products need to meet the "all-inclusive" needs to attract customers and promote the development of railway tourism. Combining diverse services, providing many options, ensuring service quality and reasonable prices will contribute to creating attractive tourism products, attracting domestic and foreign tourists.
