It is difficult to book a beautiful room to watch the parade with money
The bustling images of the first A80 parade and parade held on the evening of August 22 in Hanoi were widely spread on social networks, urging Ms. Nguyen Thi Bich Ngoc and her family from Nghe An to go to Hanoi to witness the next training sessions with their own eyes.
Changing the decision at the last minute made it not easy for Ms. Ngoc's family to find a place to stay. With criteria such as: accommodation near routes with parade and parade forces; affordable prices; convenient travel, etc., Ms. Ngoc spent many hours searching but was still "empty-handed".
"After looking for the day, my family only aimed for a place to stay as a motel at affordable prices, but it had to be located near Nguyen Thai Hoc Street, I had to accept going into small alleys" - Ms. Ngoc said.
After directly surveying 4-5 locations, the family still could not choose a suitable location. On Hang Chao Street, female tourists found that the rental price was quite high while the accommodation did not have all the amenities, even just a thin mattress spread on the floor.
Realizing that finding suitable, affordable places with empty rooms like "the bottom of the tank", Ms. Ngoc and her family had to accept a break at a rented house and move to the central streets early to get a good location.
Meanwhile, Nguyen Mai Phuong (Hanoi) was quite lucky to have the opportunity to immerse herself in the atmosphere of the 50th Anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification in Ho Chi Minh City, and to participate in the first A80 training session in Hanoi.
I have never expected that. The A50 tour I went to Ho Chi Minh City to see, this was the second time but my emotions were even happier. On August 22, I chose a place on Trang Tien Street from 12 noon to wait. "My mother and sister saw the photo I sent home and immediately decided to go with us" - Phuong shared.
Instead of choosing a hotel, Mai Phuong looked for a homestay with the desire to "hunt" for a central location, convenient for travel.
On August 26-28, the Hoan Kiem Lake area still has an empty room. Everyone will find it if they find it. The family has young children, so they only attend the days of practice with the preliminary review. Living away is inconvenient, so the closer it gets, the better it gets, now my family is willing to spend at any price" - Phuong added.
All increased ticket prices by 2 times compared to listed prices
According to the reporter's records, accommodation establishments around the area such as Kim Ma, Nguyen Thai Hoc, Hang Chao, An Trach... range in price from 600,000 - 2,400,000 VND/day.
However, this price is currently twice as high as the price listed at hotels and motels. Many places even require customers to contact directly via phone number to accurately report prices during the rehearsal and rehearsal.
Affordable motels located in deep alleys also range from 600,000 - 900,000 VND/day depending on the room class.
The owner of a motel on An Trach Street said: "The rooms have been sold out from August 29 to September 2 since the beginning of the month. This is a holiday price, the room is clean and air conditioned....
Moving to Hang Chao street - one of the busiest places these days and also the center of the parade and parade group, most of the hotel ranges have been informed to "rent" rooms but the price cannot be announced.
"We were out of rooms until September 1, so we booked a room 4 months ago. When I'm done, the room rate is meaningless, I just know it's double the usual number" - welcoming a 3-star hotel on Hang Chao street informed reporters.
