The spring travel product line before Tet is attracting a lot of tourists. According to travel companies, this is a traditional tour product that meets the needs of tourists who want to travel early to have time to celebrate Tet at home, take advantage of shopping for regional specialties and Tet gifts.
A representative of Saigontourist Travel said that spring tours before Tet usually depart after December 15 and last until around December 25. Tourist attractions are relatively sparsely populated, so visitors can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere with the locals and watch the bustling atmosphere of craft villages preparing for Tet.
This year, the tour package to Cao Lanh - Sa Dec to Binh Duong - Medicinal Museum - Tan Trieu grapefruit village or Sa Dec spring flower market - Lai Vung pink grapefruit garden... continues to be chosen and booked by many tourists.
This is a one-day or 1-2 day road tour with famous destinations for beautiful scenery such as pink grapefruit gardens and Tet flowers in the river delta region.

Visitors will also experience creating their own Tet ceramic products, shopping for famous Tan Trieu grapefruit specialties in Dong Nai and enjoying delicious dishes made from grapefruit... And Vietnamese Tet is truly joyful from the bustling atmosphere of preparing for Tet in the second half of December to the days leading up to Tet.
"Therefore, pre-Tet spring tours often focus on experiencing the most typical activities of the destination, focusing on exploiting land routes, flexible short-term duration, and economical prices suitable for the budget," said a representative of this business.
Meanwhile, according to Ms. Tran Phuong Linh - marketing and technology director of Benthanh Tourist, this unit is selling short-term travel programs such as Tay Ninh - Ba Den mountain tour (1 day) for 1.19 million VND, Dong Thap - Sa Dec flower village - Lai Vung pink grapefruit garden - Phuoc Kieng lotus leaf pagoda tour (1 day) for 990,000 VND... to serve tourists who want to travel at the beginning of the new year and celebrate Tet early.
"The tour product is aimed at serving groups of families and middle-aged tourists who want to relax on weekends. In particular, the Dong Thap - Sa Dec flower village tour is increasingly popular with tourists because the routes have been invested in more carefully taking care of the natural landscape, adding many attractive miniatures," said Ms. Linh.
According to businesses, in recent years the "spring travel before Tet" tour has also been joined by overseas Vietnamese tourists who have been away from their homeland for a long time with the desire to find old traditional images and flavors.
In addition to seeing the beautiful scenery and experiencing the atmosphere of Tet preparation, tourists also take the opportunity to shop for specialties and Tet gifts from different regions. With reasonable prices, short duration and not too crowded, this type of tour has become popular and has become a hot product of many businesses.
