The holiday schedule for Hung Kings Commemoration Day, April 30th and May 1st this year is attracting great attention as the timelines fall into special days of the week, helping workers easily arrange holiday schedules and travel plans.
According to information from the Ministry of Home Affairs, Hung Kings Commemoration Day (March 10th of the lunar calendar) this year falls on Sunday (April 26th). Due to coinciding with weekly holidays, workers get compensatory leave on Monday (April 27th). For those who have fixed Saturday and Sunday holidays, the holiday lasts 3 consecutive days from April 25th to the end of April 27th.
Immediately after that, the April 30 holiday falls on Thursday and International Labor Day May falls on Friday. If you don't work on Saturday, workers can take 4 consecutive days off, from April 30 to the end of May 3.
Notably, the two holidays of Hung Kings Commemoration and April 30 - May 1 are only 2 working days apart (April 28 - 29). This opens up the possibility of extending the holiday if workers actively apply for leave, thereby creating a rare long holiday, suitable for long trips or returning to their hometowns.
With a time frame of 3-4 days or longer if arranged flexibly, tourists can choose a variety of routes such as sea tourism, short vacations, exploring nearby destinations or planning long-day trips during peak seasons.
Not only working people, many universities also adjust their study schedules to create conditions for students to have flexible holidays. Some units combine online learning and compensatory leave, helping to extend the leave time to 9 days, convenient for travel and tourism.
Understanding the holiday schedule for the Hung Kings Commemoration Day, April 30 and May 1 helps tourists proactively book train and plane tickets, hotel rooms and schedule early, avoiding overload and increased costs during the peak tourist season.
