Tourism "roots"
In Phu Yen, coastal hotels recorded room occupancy at nearly 60%, especially establishments linked to online booking applications or applying promotional programs recorded a significant increase in the number of guests.
Mr. Vo Quang Hoang - General Manager of Tui Blue Tuy Hoa Hotel - said that the extended holiday helps tourists have time to arrange long trips. In addition, the newly inaugurated Van Phong - Nha Trang expressway has significantly shortened the time from Ho Chi Minh City to Phu Yen, contributing to boosting the number of visitors to the locality.
"With the increasingly popular trend of independent travel, Phu Yen has become an attractive destination during the April 30 holiday thanks to its beautiful scenery, reasonable costs and an ideal destination for long-distance drivers," said Mr. Hoang.
He also predicted a spike in the number of visitors during the holidays, similar to previous peak periods.
Chairman of Phu Yen Tourism Association Ho Van Tien said that this year's holiday, the number of visitors to the province is expected to be quite large, mainly from the southern provinces via the highway, along with neighboring localities such as the Central Highlands.
