Ms. Nguyen Thi Minh Trang (32 years old, Hanoi) said that her family has started to learn and book tours in advance for this summer vacation. According to Ms. Trang, booking tours early helps her family have more choices about destinations as well as airfares.
This year we plan to go to the beach, maybe Nha Trang or Phu Quoc because the children have long summer vacations. Booking early will make it easy to choose hotels and suitable flight schedules," Ms. Trang shared.
According to many tourists, preparing early not only helps save costs but also avoids overload when entering the peak tourist season.
Sharing about this summer's tourism picture, Mr. Bui Thanh Tu - Marketing Director of BestPrice Travel Company - said that the market is recording quite positive signals as people's travel demand is still maintained at a high level.
The number of customers looking for and booking tours has increased quite early, especially for sea destinations and short-day international tours. For domestic tourism, destinations such as Phu Quoc, Nha Trang, Da Nang, Quy Nhon, Phu Yen or Ha Long are still the top choice in the summer because they are suitable for the resort needs of many families," Mr. Tu said.
In the international market, Vietnamese tourists still prioritize nearby destinations such as China, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan or Thailand. These countries have advantages in short flight distances, convenient routes and reasonable costs.
Mr. Tu said that summer travel costs this year may be affected by many factors. However, many travel companies are proactively building programs early and implementing incentive packages to limit price increases, thereby helping tourists have more choices suitable for their budget.
This year's travel trend shows that tourists are increasingly focusing on safety, reasonable cost and flexibility of the journey. Family resort tours, relaxation-combined experience tours or uniquely designed tourism products are increasingly being interested in.
Anh Tu recommends: "Tourists should plan and book services early to have more choices in terms of itinerary, air tickets as well as hotels at reasonable prices. Monitoring information about destinations, airline conditions or tourism policies is also very important to make appropriate decisions.
