According to the assessment, although the number of visitors returning to their hometowns decreased before Tet, after Tet, from the full moon of January onwards, the number of visitors departing from Vinh by road, rail and air will increase. Because many people and workers returning to their hometowns to avoid the epidemic during Tet will have the need to find jobs after all production and business activities in many localities have returned to normal. Therefore, many transport units have also prepared plans and arranged additional means of transport when people's travel needs increase.
