Lunar New Year travel trends in Nghe An
(Baonghean.vn) - Traveling during the Lunar New Year has become the choice of many families in Nghe An in recent years. With a duration of 7 days, the Giap Thin Lunar New Year holiday is truly ideal for organizing sightseeing and tourism trips.
According to representatives of travel companies in Nghe An, this year, although the economy is somewhat difficult, affecting the lives of people of all classes, the demand for tourism of the people still has increased significantly. Up to now, some customers have directly inquired and registered for tours to visit and relax during the Lunar New Year of Giap Thin.
Families with good economic conditions often register for foreign tours, mainly to Asian countries such as Japan, Korea, China, Singapore and Thailand. Ms. Dinh Thi Thao in Nam Dan town said: "During the upcoming Tet holiday, my family plans to travel to Thailand for about 4-5 days. Currently, I am researching with travel agencies to get the most reasonable price."
Mr. Nguyen Minh Hai in Ben Thuy Ward, Vinh City is also looking into a tour to Japan for his family of four during the Lunar New Year. He said that almost every year during Tet, his family travels to tourist areas and destinations in the country. This year, all family members want to celebrate Tet in the land of cherry blossoms.
Ms. Cao Thi Thanh - Deputy Director of Vietravel Nghe An Branch said: "Compared to last year, this year the demand for foreign travel of customers has increased, in which the most are tours to Japan, Korea and China".
Families with a good income and the need to travel during the Lunar New Year often choose famous domestic tourist areas and destinations. According to Ms. Le Phuong Anh - Director of SAB Tourism Company (Vinh City), this year's Tet, the number of customers registering for domestic tours is very large, much higher than last year.
The most popular tourist destinations are Sa Pa, Ha Giang, Da Lat, Da Nang and Nha Trang. These are places with beautiful scenery and many entertainment services, good accommodation services, meeting the needs of tourists to rest, sightsee and have fun in the first days of the new year.
The trend that most families choose is to travel within the province, because first of all, the tourist destinations in the province are often close, the trip only lasts 1-2 days so there is still time to spend with relatives and friends during Tet. Moreover, short trips are often less expensive, suitable for the budget, and transportation is convenient, so many people choose them.
This Lunar New Year, Ms. Nguyen Thanh Tu in Trung Do Ward (Vinh City) did not travel far, only to places in the province for about 2 days. Her family prioritized destinations in the Western Nghe An, including places with beautiful scenery such as Hon Mat, Truong Gia Farm, Phu Quy flower valley (Nghia Dan).
This year's Lunar New Year is expected to welcome a large number of visitors to the province, which is an opportunity for the province's tourism industry to accelerate. Grasping this trend, travel companies have built spring tours to spiritual destinations and the western region of Nghe An at attractive prices.
