During the April 30 - January 1 holidays of this year, river tourism in Ho Chi Minh City recorded vibrant signals. Red address tours also maintain a stable number of visitors with many preferential programs and experiential activities associated with cultural and historical tourism.
Talking to Lao Dong Newspaper, Mr. Nguyen Son Lam - Director of Dong Duong Sailing Co., Ltd. said that sightseeing tours combined with dinner during the April 30th holiday are fully booked, showing the great attraction of this type of experience.
The demand of domestic tourists, especially people in Ho Chi Minh City, for sunset viewing and enjoying river food experiences increased sharply during the holidays, contributing to pushing up the number of visitors.
In the group of cultural - historical tourism products, Ms. Tran Thi Bao Thu - Marketing & Communications Director of Vietluxtour said that red address tours in Ho Chi Minh City are still on sale and have promotions with discounts of 10-15% depending on the size of the group during the Hung Kings Commemoration Day and April 30th holiday.
According to Ms. Bao Thu, the number of tour bookings has increased, but the growth rate is not equal to last year, due to the effect of major events last year creating higher demand.
Most customers who book this type of tour are customers in Ho Chi Minh City, the provinces of the Southeast, Southwest and some northern provinces in Ho Chi Minh City during holidays combined with visiting cultural and historical destinations of the city.
In addition, group tourists, businesses, and organizations also choose these tours to combine activities such as the Youth Union and Party admission ceremony, Party cell activities, and also combine sightseeing and holidays.

This is expected to contribute to stimulating tourism demand, attracting a large number of people and tourists to Ho Chi Minh City during the holiday.
