Grasping the long holiday, familiar entertainment venues such as Dam Sen Cultural Park, Suoi Tien Cultural Tourist Area simultaneously launched promotional programs and many new experiential activities. In addition, the inner-city travel market recorded very positive purchasing power.
Tighten service quality and prices to serve tourists
In order to ensure good service for the sightseeing and tourism needs of people and tourists during the September 2nd holiday and the last months of 2026, contributing to building a safe and civilized tourism image of Ho Chi Minh City, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism requests tourist areas and attractions, travel businesses, and tourist transport businesses to organize thorough grasp and strict implementation of legal regulations on tourism.
At the same time, proactively develop plans to serve customers during peak seasons, ensuring service quality, security, safety, environmental sanitation, food safety, fire prevention and fighting; arrange sufficient personnel to guide and support customers and promptly handle arising situations.
Establishments must strictly comply with regulations on listing and selling at listed prices; fully disclose service prices, surcharges, promotions, refund policies and conditions for canceling and changing services; provide full and correct service quality according to the content agreed with tourists. Do not allow arbitrary price increases, soliciting, forcing customers or acts that negatively affect the city's tourism image.
In addition, promptly notify the Department of Tourism and functional agencies when incidents or incidents occur that affect security, safety, and the legitimate rights and interests of tourists; proactively coordinate to handle, not to prolong or generate hot spots.
Regarding suggestions for locations to watch fireworks in the central area of Ho Chi Minh City, people can choose Bach Dang wharf park, Thu Thiem riverside park or the area along Ton Duc Thang street... People also need to proactively monitor traffic diversion plans and choose suitable travel routes.
