Domestic destinations remain popular following peak summer season in Vietnam

As many autumn-winter tours to foreign countries are not yet favorable following the COVID-19 pandemic, travelers in Vietnam have decided to visit the country’s northwest and northeast provinces to admire the beauty of nature.

Some of the popular choices include Mu Cang Chai District in Yen Bai Province, home to magnificent terraced rice fields, and Moc Chau District in Son La Province, famous for the beautiful buckwheat blossom.

The number of bookings for tours to mountainous localities in northern Vietnam has been increasing, according to local travel agents.

A representative of Vietravel said that more than 6,500 visitors have booked the company’s tours to such destinations.

At Saigontourist has also sold their tours to about 6,000 customers, meeting 60 percent of its target for this travel season.

To meet this demand, travel companies have focused on tailoring new products for the autumn-winter season, which include high-quality services and new experiences for visitors.

According to a representative of TST tourist, the firm’s clients often seek tours to South Korea, Japan, or the United States during this time of the year.

As overseas travel is not yet convenient in the current context, domestic tourism continues to be the choice of local travelers.

To seize this opportunity, travel agencies across the country should form close cooperation to introduce their services to a wider range of tourists, said Lai Minh Duy, general director of TST tourist.

Pham Ngoc Thuy, director of the Department of Tourism in northern Quang Ninh Province, stated that the province is focusing on preparing for the autumn-winter tourism after the peak summer season.

In addition to popular destinations such as Yen Tu and Ha Long Bay, the locality is promoting new places like Dong Trieu, known as the original homeland of the Tran Dynasty, Binh Lieu, Mong Cai, and Uong Bi, Thuy elaborated.

The autumn-winter travel season often runs from September to October.
