Reasonable tour prices, good services and many beautiful landscapes are advantages for Nha Trang to attract tourists on the coming Lunar New Year Festival (Tet).

 

Many travel firms in the country are selling Tet tours to Nha Trang. Most of the tours depart from Ho Chi Minh City and the Southern provinces. Taking a tour on Tet is  a way chosen by many people to experience the traditional holiday differently than staying home.

 

One of the reasons making tourists choosing Nha Trang as a destination on Tet is that hotel prices seem not to increase. Some hotels even have slashed their room prices because the number of Russian tourists in Nha Trang is suffering an unexpected decrease. “Generally, at present, hotel prices in Nha Trang have been downed. Even, prices in some 3-star hotels now are equal to those in 2-star ones before. However, to maintain prestige and attract tourists, they still keep their quality”, an official of the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism revealed.

 

 

From the decrease in hotel prices, tour operators also offer lower tour prices for travelers. Additionally, the recent cut in petrol price also has partly reduced tour prices. Most of the tours to Nha Trang on this Tet cost lower those last year and equal to those in normal days. The tour prices now only depend on hotel type and stay time. Other services have been still stable. The number of tour bookings up to this time has exceeded the year-on-year figure. Most of the tours depart on the second day of the lunar new year, falling on February 19. Famous spots in Nha Trang like Vinpearl Land, Diamond Bay, Long Son Pagoda, mud bath, etc. are often chosen in most tours.

 

To lure customers, some travel firms have launched promotions for Tet tours. For example, Hai Dang Travel (Ho Chi Minh City) gives 50% discount to first tour buyers; VN Tour offers many gifts and 5% - 7% discount; Du Lich Viet gives New Year present for tourists.

 

Two big travel firms Vietravel and Saigontourist also have promotions. Customers  of Vietravel have a chance to win Iphone 6 Gold and many valuable presents while customers of Saigontourist may take a draw for a big prize which includes VND100 million in cash and an outbound tour.

 

The situation is really showing signs for a successful Tet tourism season of Nha Trang beach city.
