At the Oceanographic Museum (Nha Trang City) on the National Day holiday of September 2, thousands of tourists from all over the place flocked to this place, with passenger vans lining up to go in and out.
Here, most visitors come to the marine life display area and specimen storage areas to visit and take souvenir photos.
Coming from Dak Lak to Nha Trang to travel on the occasion of September 2nd, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoai An (38 years old) said that this year she decided to choose Nha Trang as a place for the whole family to have fun.
Ms. Hoai An commented that Nha Trang's weather during the holidays is cool, suitable for picnics and island tours.
“Yesterday, my family visited tourist attractions in Nha Trang such as Ponagar Tower and the Institute of Oceanography. The children really enjoyed these areas,” said Ms. Nhu.
At Vinpearl Nha Trang, thousands of domestic and foreign tourists went to Hon Tre Island to have fun during the two-day holiday. From early morning, the ticket counters and cable car entrances to the VinWonders amusement park and Vinpearl Harbor Nha Trang were all crowded.
It took about 15 minutes to buy tickets for his family to Hon Tre Island. Mr. Nguyen Quoc Khanh, a tourist from Ho Chi Minh City, said he expected a memorable family holiday.
According to Mr. Khanh, Nha Trang has become a familiar destination for his family during the holidays for many years. Although he knows that traveling during the holidays is difficult to avoid crowds, he likes the feeling of being immersed in the crowd and enjoying the fresh air of the coastal city.
According to Lao Dong, central roads in Nha Trang City such as Tran Phu and Le Thanh Ton are always crowded, and there are even local traffic jams during holidays.
Faced with great pressure from the influx of vehicles, authorities must increase their staff to be present to regulate and direct traffic 24/7.
During the National Day holiday on September 2, Khanh Hoa province did not organize any major events, but the tourism industry provided a variety of resort, entertainment and recreation products on islands, bays, forests and mountains...
Mr. Tran Van Phu - Head of Nha Trang Tourist Wharf, said that on August 31 alone, more than 4,500 passengers got off the ship to join the Nha Trang Bay island tour with destinations such as: Bai Tranh Island, Con Se Tre, San Ho Bay...
Similarly, tourist attractions such as the Oceanographic Museum and the Ponagar Tower Relic Site did not have too many visitors. Meanwhile, on August 31, more than 5,000 visitors came to the Ponagar Tower Relic Site. It is expected that the number of visitors to Khanh Hoa will increase on September 1 and 2.
According to the Khanh Hoa Provincial Department of Tourism, the number of visitors during the September 2nd holiday this year is only about 30% higher than normal days and not equal to the weekends during the peak summer tourist season.
Despite the high number of tourists, some hotels and resorts in Khanh Hoa province said they continue to receive booking requests for the September 2 holiday from tourists from Ho Chi Minh City and the Central Highlands provinces. Due to the large room fund, supply exceeding demand, room rates in Khanh Hoa during the holidays are at a reasonable level.
