Recognizing this new trend, travel companies in Vinh City have launched many impressive spring travel programs. These focus heavily on festival and spiritual tourism tours. At Nghe An Petroleum Tourism Joint Stock Company, recognizing that the period during and after Tet (Lunar New Year) is the peak season for tourism, many attractive programs and tours have been offered, focusing on domestic tours such as the "Spring Festival 2013" program with destinations including famous temples, pagodas, and historical sites like Vinh – Bai Dinh Pagoda – Vinh, Vinh – Tran Temple – Yen Tu, Vinh – Bai Dinh Pagoda – Huong Pagoda; and the "Reporting Achievements and Returning to the Source" program with the itinerary: "Vinh – Kim Lien Historical Site – Quang Trung Temple – Dong Loc Crossroads".

Hang Bua Festival – an attractive destination at the beginning of Spring
At Nghe An Tourism Joint Stock Company, tours to visit the birthplace of President Ho Chi Minh, Vinh - Pu Mat primeval forest, or Vinh - Que Phong - Quy Chau ecological tourist area are also expected to attract many visitors, especially after Tet when the festival season in the high mountainous districts begins. According to Mr. Nguyen Duc Chung - Deputy Director of the Nghe An Tourism Promotion Center: Although affected by the economic downturn, the activities of travel companies are still quite vibrant. Furthermore, to attract customers, companies regularly introduce many new programs and promotions. Especially after Tet, the spring tour programs of companies have many new features, with community tourism and exploring new regions being a trend chosen by many companies.
Not only local tourists, but also many tourists from other provinces, including those from Laos and Thailand, choose Nghe An as their destination for early-year tours. Currently, Phuong Dong Travel Company has 5 tour groups registered for the post-Tet holiday period; Nghe An Tourism Joint Stock Company is also ready to serve any group of tourists, even during the holiday. Several large hotels such as Phuong Dong, Kim Lien, and Huu Nghi are also planning programs to welcome guests on New Year's Eve. Typically, at this time, tourists are from Thailand and Laos, many of whom are overseas Vietnamese. Choosing the Lunar New Year to return to Vietnam is partly for sightseeing, but more importantly, to enjoy the traditional Tet atmosphere. Understanding this sentiment, in addition to spiritual tourism tours, many travel companies are also investing in Nghe An's festival tours. It is expected that around 20 festivals of varying sizes will take place after the Lunar New Year, many of which reflect the unique cultural identity of different ethnic groups and regions, such as the Quả Temple Festival, Cờn Temple Festival, Pẩn pang – Nangni Festival, Hang Bua Festival, Pu Nhạ thầu Festival, etc.
In 2012, over three million tourists visited Nghe An, generating total tourism revenue of 1,572,380 million VND (exceeding the 2011 target). This can be seen as a positive sign for the tourism industry, given that the economic recession has not yet recovered. Regarding the 2013 tourism season, Mr. Hoang Viet, Director of Phuong Dong Petroleum Tourism Joint Stock Company, believes it will be very difficult because many companies are still struggling, especially those with potential tourism interests in the construction and transportation sectors. However, companies still believe that by mid-year, tourism activity will pick up thanks to the tourism industry's promotional and investment promotion efforts. In particular, Nghe An is currently implementing the "Building the Brand of Nghe An Tourism Enterprises" project and the "Nghe An Tourism Promotion Program until 2015". On the provincial side, in addition to selecting a tourism industry logo, the industry will also focus on promoting its potential, strengths, and tourism products. The goal is to make Nghe An an attractive destination that is indispensable in tour packages and itineraries offered by domestic and international travel agencies.
