Diversity in tourism products

Currently, areas and destinations as well as travel businesses have promoted tourism products and introduced many domestic and international tours, but due to economic difficulties, airplanes tickets and services prices have increased significantly, so the number of visitors registering for Tet tours has not met expectations. Most tourism businesses inside and outside the province have been selling Tet tours for days now. In the domestic market, popular tourist destinations are still Da Lat, Da Nang, Hue, Nha Trang, Con Dao...

Some tourism businesses said that in this year, they offered both domestic and international tours, along with air ticket and bus ticket sales services to some southern provinces. However, the number of tourists registering for tours and air tickets this year is lower than previous years. Up to now, some businesses had only had a few tourist groups registered to go to Phu Yen, Dat Lat and the Western provinces, departing from the 2nd to the 4th of the Lunar New Year. The reason why long-distance tour slowed down is due to the increase in air ticket prices, while the economic situation is still facing many challenges. Pilgrimage tours is usually organized on weekends from January to the end of the third lunar month of 2024.

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Sang, Director of Chuyến Đi Vàng Tourist Company Limited. (Golden Trip) shared, up to now, the company had organized 2 group tours to Da Nang departing on the 2nd and 4th days of Tet, 3 individual tours depart on the 2nd day of Tet. Currently, individual domestic tours were still waiting for passengers to register. According to Mr. Sang, the number of tourists registering for tours compared to last year has decreased slightly, while tour prices still remain stable. The company is also having stimulus programs to attract more customers. Currently, the company is offering Tet tourism products to serve customers.

Mr. Toan said that the farm has only been open for more than a month but has already made its mark, attracting schools to bring students to participate in extracurricular activities and experience farming. "Tourists come to experience and enjoy the agricultural specialties of Xuan Loc. After experiencing and visiting the garden models, many tourists, especially students, really enjoy the activities and learn how to farm at the first ever farm to offer these interesting experiences for visitors" - Mr. Toan added.

According to travel businesses and tourist destinations in the province, although the economy is still facing many difficulties this year, tourism industry is showing signs of positive recovery. Although tourists do not travel as much as before, the trend of small groups and self-sufficient travel to enjoy natural experiences is increasing. Therefore, destinations must invest in how to "capture" tourists. ​
