Tours to visit beautiful natural landscapes in the Northeastern and Northwestern provinces with new dishes for tourists during this year's holiday such as Suoi Giang - Tu Le - Mu Cang Chai tour attract tourists. Some road tours such as Sapa, Ha Giang - Lung Cu - Dong Van, Quang Binh - Vung Chua - Quang Tri are also of interest to many people.

Ms. Pham Thu Hang (Nguyen Trai - Thanh Xuan - Hanoi) said: "Last summer we went to Da Nang beach, so this holiday my family and I went to Sapa to change the atmosphere. The weather in Sapa is great and the prices are affordable."

Choosing a strange destination is also a choice of tourists. Pham Thanh Tam, Head of Vietrantour Domestic Tourism Department, said that September 2 is also the Independence Day of the Mong people in Moc Chau with many unique festival activities such as crossbow shooting, stick pushing, tug of war, throwing con, to ma le, playing tu lu, throwing pa pao, pounding rice cake, dragon hatching egg game, photo exhibition... therefore, the 3-day Hanoi - Moc Chau tour on September 2 attracts many tourists to choose with a price of just under 2.5 million VND.

Ms. Pham Ha Anh, Vietravel Hanoi branch, said that there are two main factors that cause tourism to grow strongly on September 2: the long holiday and the tour prices during this time have many attractive packages to stimulate demand.

Choose a country that doesn't take time to get a visa

As for foreign travel, this time tourists mainly choose countries that do not require visas or do not take much time to get a visa. According to the survey results at Vietravel transaction offices in Hanoi, this year's trend of tourists is to prioritize choosing foreign tours in nearby markets, including 4 familiar routes: Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and some routes that are increasingly attracting many tourists. This is the discount season in Asian countries.

Recently, destinations such as Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Bali, Dubai are chosen by many people because these are countries that do not require a visa or do not take much time to get a visa, and the tour price is reasonable and does not increase much compared to normal days.

In addition, with bustling and diverse shopping districts that satisfy women's shopping needs and amusement parks for children, it can be seen that Asian countries are meeting the travel needs of family members very well.

Many families hunt for cheap tickets to Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia this time and experience backpacking in Southeast Asian countries.
