In order to prepare the best conditions to serve the entertainment needs of people and tourists during the April 30 - May 1 holiday, the Ho Chi Minh City tourism industry has synchronously implemented stimulus programs, diversified products and strengthened service ecosystem connections.
In addition to traditional tourism programs, travel businesses in the city proactively innovate products in a thematic direction, increase cultural and historical experiences, combine high-quality services and diversify sightseeing methods such as roads, rivers, metro, sports, and creativity.
Prominent are the "Saigon Commando" tours, experiencing the city by classic cars (retro rides), the "Ho Chi Minh City I love" program connecting from the center to neighboring areas such as Can Gio, Cu Chi, Binh Duong.
At the same time, ecotourism, creative tourism, and health care products are also being developed, contributing to enriching the ecosystem and enhancing the attractiveness of destinations.
Tourist areas and attractions also launched many attractive programs. Suoi Tien Cultural Tourist Area offers 1,000 free tickets to tourists wearing red star yellow flag shirts who arrive early on April 30, and also organizes a series of events and upgrades to hundreds of games.
Dam Sen Cultural Park implements fireworks viewing ticket promotions, combining music space and folk games to serve tourists.
At the Cu Chi Tunnels historical relic site, many experiential activities are organized such as the "War Zone Moon" night tour, mini zoo, sports shooting and Khmer cultural program. The historical relic of Independence Palace displays specialized photos "Independence Palace - Impression of the Victory Day April 30, 1975", introducing historical documents and images.
At Nguyen Hue pedestrian street, the photo exhibition "Vietnam - A strip of mountains and rivers" and "Ho Chi Minh City echoes forever with triumph" attracted people and tourists. In particular, on the evening of April 30, the city organized fireworks displays at 8 high-altitude and low-altitude locations.
According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism, ensuring service for tourists is identified as a key task. The sector strengthens management and inspection of business activities, requires public price listing, and does not allow unreasonable price increases to occur.
Service quality continues to be improved in the fields of accommodation, cuisine, transportation, and at the same time encourages the development of environmentally friendly vehicles such as metro, electric cars, and river buses.
Ho Chi Minh City's tourism industry determines not to compete with cheap prices but to focus on improving quality and differentiated experiences, aiming to build an image of a safe, friendly, attractive and professional destination, meeting the increasing needs of tourists.
