This year's National Day holiday September 2nd lasts 5 days, creating conditions for tourists to proactively arrange time and choose suitable routes. Faced with positive signals from the market, tourism businesses in Can Tho have focused on renewing products and services to meet the entertainment and resort needs of tourists.
Ms. Luong Thi Quynh - Deputy Director of Vietravel Can Tho branch - said that through the need for consulting and tour registration at the unit, the market has recorded positive signals. However, tourists also consider more carefully about costs, time and convenience before choosing a route.
“We are preparing many product groups at home and abroad, from short-day to long-day journeys, with starting prices from 499,000 VND/person. Especially in Can Tho, programs with cars to pick up and see off or using air routes from Can Tho when appropriate are also focused on, in order to create more convenient choices for tourists during their vacation,” Ms. Quynh shared.
Notably, Vietravel Can Tho focuses on resuming the Can Tho - Da Lat tour by direct flight, associated with the time Lien Khuong airport will be reopened from August 19.
Besides the price factor, this unit also noted that tourists are increasingly interested in the quality of experience instead of just focusing on the number of attractions. Therefore, businesses focus on developing products in the direction of increasing local cultural factors, being close to nature and flexible according to the needs of each customer group.
The difference of the product is not only in adding destinations but also in connecting experiences to create a journey that is more suitable for the needs of tourists," Ms. Quynh said.
Meanwhile, at Cantho Eco Resort, the number of guests during the September 2nd holiday is forecast to increase by about 10-20% compared to the same period in 2025. To meet the needs of entertainment and relaxation, the unit has prepared many products, services and experiential activities imbued with the culture of the Mekong Delta.
Mr. Nguyen Thanh Phu - Assistant to the Investor (Cantho Eco Resort) - said that this year's National Day holiday lasts 5 days, so tourism demand is forecast to increase, in which domestic tourists will continue to be the main group.
The behavior of choosing services of tourists also has notable changes. Accordingly, tourists are increasingly carefully considering products, services and experiences instead of just paying attention to prices.
Tourists are shifting from simple accommodation to products with higher value experience, especially cuisine, local culture and local unique features," Mr. Phu said.
To meet this need, Cantho Eco Resort has prepared products associated with the culture of the Mekong Delta. The unit put into operation the "country market" area with street vendors, introducing folk cakes and gifts associated with childhood such as cốm nổ, shaved ice..., thereby creating more experience space for tourists.
