The domestic tourism market is bustling during the Lunar New Year holiday.

02/02/2016

During the Lunar New Year holiday, the tourism market – especially domestic tourism during this peak season – always becomes very vibrant.

Prior to the Lunar New Year, through research and surveys, TST Tourist observed that tourists from the North tend to travel to the South to escape the cold weather at the end of the year, with popular destinations often located in the coastal areas of Central and Southwestern Vietnam. Meanwhile, tourists from Central and Southern Vietnam tend to travel to the northern provinces to admire the stunning landscapes: Sa Pa (Lao Cai), Ha Long (Quang Ninh), Trang An (Ninh Binh)... Among these, tourists from the South also highly favor the charming Central Vietnam heritage route: Da Nang, Hoi An, Hue…

Recognizing this trend, TST Tourist has planned to develop diverse travel routes and destinations with many suitable departure dates, focusing on the needs for relaxation, cultural experiences, and festivals of each region. In addition, by dividing tourism products into lines ranging from traditional and budget-friendly to high-end, and adhering to the criterion of stable Tet holiday tour prices that do not change compared to regular days as a deep expression of gratitude to customers, TST Tourist hopes to create favorable conditions for all customer segments to choose a spring travel itinerary that suits them.

Starting in October, TST Tourist launched a series of domestic Tet holiday tour packages: trips to the Mekong Delta to shop for Tet and admire the vibrant flowers and fruits in Sa Dec and Lai Vung; exploring the Northeast and Northwest during the plum and peach blossom season combined with celebrating the traditional Tet holiday with ethnic minorities; celebrating spring in the North and Central Vietnam's heritage sites through famous landmarks such as Trang An, Bai Dinh, Ha Long, Sa Pa, Yen Tu, Hanoi, Da Nang, Hue, and Hoi An… These tours attracted a large number of tourists. In addition, the appeal of destinations like Phan Thiet, Nha Trang, Da Lat, and Phu Quoc remains strong, attracting many tourists seeking short trips, and tours to admire the romantic beauty of Phu Yen, the land of "golden flowers and green grass," are still a popular choice.

A particularly special highlight for tourists this year participating in domestic Tet holiday tours by air with TST Tourist is the informal pre-departure group meetings. While group meetings for overseas tours are commonplace, they are still a relatively new concept for many travelers. To ensure maximum customer benefits according to the agreed-upon services, from air tickets to accommodation, meals, sightseeing, and entertainment, TST Tourist maintains these group meetings as a regular and important activity for all tours, especially during peak holiday seasons. The simple reason is that TST Tourist always strives to provide services that are both high-quality and reliable, thus absolutely avoiding the use of freelance tour guides, intermediaries sending customers to third-party travel companies, or last-minute changes to flight schedules, accommodation, or tour programs.

This year, at TST Tourist's Tet holiday group meetings, in addition to conveying and confirming information to customers about the group's meeting point, flight times, tour itinerary, hotel and restaurant standards, and introducing the tour guide, TST Tourist also organized lucky draw activities and gave away lucky red envelopes, creating a very lively and exciting atmosphere. With thorough preparation before departure, TST Tourist hopes all customers will have a warm, fulfilling, and meaningful spring trip.

After the Lunar New Year, TST Tourist continues to launch other attractive and unique tourism products, notably routes and destinations associated with major festivals such as: the Huong Pagoda Festival, Hung Temple, Tran Temple, Phu Giay, Yen Tu, Bai Dinh, Ba Chua Xu, Dinh Co... The Hanoi - Sapa - Dien Bien - Son La - Moc Chau tour will also take tourists to admire the pristine white blossoms covering the hillsides of Moc Chau during the blooming season of the Bauhinia flower. If visiting Moc Chau in March, tourists even have the opportunity to participate in the deeply humane "Het Cha Festival"; the Hanoi - Ninh Binh - Sapa tour is expected to be revamped and supplemented with a newly developed route in the Trang An tourist area: Ngoc Mountain, Lam Cave, Vang Cave, Dia Linh Mountain, Dai Cave, and Hanh Cung Vu Lam Temple.

As the economy continues to develop, the demand for travel during holidays and Tet (Lunar New Year) is becoming a common trend. After a year of hard work, this is an opportunity for everyone to temporarily set aside the worries and anxieties of life to relax, rest, and enjoy peaceful time with family, relatives, and friends.
