During the April 30 - May 1 holiday, Ho Chi Minh City tourism recorded a vibrant atmosphere with a series of diverse products and many stimulus programs being implemented synchronously.
Accompanying the delegation to visit the City Post Office, Ms. Anna (a tourist from Australia) said that this was her first visit and was impressed with the ancient architecture and bustling space.
I like the way this place still retains its historical features but is still very lively. In particular, traveling is also very convenient, you can walk to explore many destinations in the central area such as the City Post Office, Notre Dame Cathedral, Nguyen Hue pedestrian street" - Ms. Anna shared.
To stimulate urban tourism demand, especially towards the summer of 2026, travel businesses in Ho Chi Minh City continue to innovate tours in a thematic direction, increasing cultural and historical experiences, combining high-quality services. Visiting forms are also expanded such as road, river, metro... to bring more flexible choices for tourists.
Representatives of VinaGroup Tourism Company said that the unit is gradually realizing the development orientations of the city's tourism industry with specific products, including sightseeing helicopter tourism, which is considered a starting point.
After officially restarting in March, this product initially received the attention of domestic and foreign tourists, and at the same time, travel businesses participated in promotion and exploitation. Due to its own characteristics, this type needs more time to assess needs and complete products before expanding its scale.
In the next phase, the development of a landing system in the city center area is considered an important factor to improve the accessibility of tourists, especially international tourists.
In the long term, this business aims to build a high-class tourism ecosystem, connecting services such as helicopters, yachts, golf courses, health care, thematic museums and shopping.
According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism, the consistent viewpoint of the city's tourism industry is not to compete with cheap prices but with different service quality and experiences, aiming to build an image of a safe - friendly - attractive - professional destination, meeting the increasing expectations of domestic and international tourists.
