During the 3 days of Tet, the weather is generally favorable for tourists to participate in sightseeing, entertainment, and recreation activities at beaches, historical sites, and ecological attractions.... However, due to rough seas, some marine ecological activities (swimming, diving, coral viewing...) cannot be carried out.
In Con Dao, the number of visitors has decreased, due to rough seas, so boats have stopped carrying passengers to Con Dao. At the same time, canoes are not allowed to leave the port to take tourists.
Because of the advance preparation, beachgoers were quickly reminded when going far from shore or approaching dangerous areas. Therefore, despite the large number of visitors, all visitors were safe while enjoying the beach during the 3 days of Tet.
