To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of Southern Vietnam and the reunification of the country, tourism and travel businesses in Ho Chi Minh City have designed diverse tours that highlight the significance and historical and cultural values of the region.
A prime example is the "From the Tet Offensive to the Great Victory of Spring" tour program, a moving journey back in time that takes visitors to prominent historical sites, recreating the city's development.

Following that is the headquarters of the Liaison Mission of the General Staff of the Vietnam People's Army, a site that witnessed important diplomatic activities during the war.
The tour program "Legends of the Special Forces Heroes of Rung Sac Forest - The Iron Land of Ho Chi Minh City" is a special journey, taking visitors back to the glorious history of the nation. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the Rung Sac Historical Site, the base of the 10th Rung Sac Regiment, closely associated with the heroic battles of the special forces from 1966 to April 30, 1975. Next, visitors will go to the Rung Sac Martyrs' Cemetery, the resting place of the outstanding sons and daughters who sacrificed their lives in this land during the two long wars for national independence. The final destination on the journey is the Cu Chi Tunnels, a unique and unparalleled underground "wonder" of the enemy's resistance, where visitors can gain a deeper understanding of the courageous and creative fighting spirit of our army and people.
This is an opportunity to exploit the potential and advantages of tourism resources in the city and neighboring localities.

Furthermore, the business aims to diversify its products to meet market demands, thereby increasing the length of stay and spending of tourists visiting the city, contributing to the economic and tourism development of the area.
Especially during the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of Southern Vietnam and the reunification of the country, visitors will have the opportunity to participate in meaningful and solemn activities.
