According to Mr. Vo Le Nhat, Director of the Hue Monuments Conservation Center, the adjustment of entrance fees aims to increase revenue from ticket sales to visit Hue monuments in the 2020-2022 period by 5-10%. Revenue from ticket sales will reduce the investment burden from the central budget, increase local budget investment for the cause of conservation, restoration and embellishment, restore the intact value of architectural works; expand the scale of service, and create new highlights.
It is expected that after adjusting the ticket price, it will contribute to increasing the budget of Thua Thien Hue province through this activity from 60-70 billion VND/year. This increase is divided into 4 sightseeing areas including:
- Group 1: Hue Royal Palace relic complex (Imperial Citadel) increased from 150,000 VND to 200,000 VND;
- Group 2: the complex of tombs of King Tu Duc, Khai Dinh, and Minh Mang increased from 100,000 VND to 150,000 VND;
