Not only are airfares on the rise, hotel room prices in Hanoi during the September 2 holiday also recorded a strong increase, many places even ran out of seats.
According to some booking service providers, hotel prices during the two peak days of August 30 and 31 fluctuated around 1.2 million VND/night, and could even be higher if booked close to the time. This price is 2-3 times higher than before the festival.
Along with that, a shortage of rooms appeared when many hotels announced that they had booked early.
The simultaneous increase in both airfares and hotel room prices shows that the demand for travel in Hanoi on National Day 2.9 is at a high level. In the context of many accommodation locations being booked early, visitors should proactively book services in advance to avoid scarcity and sudden increases in costs.
