The “national concert” effect
The parade on April 30 was not only an important political and cultural event. What remained was not only the heroic spirit of the parades or the emotional moment when the national flag fluttered in the middle of the historic square, but also the exciting wave of the whole society, especially the response of the youth when they joined the event with a proud, youthful and new awareness that the youth called "national concert".
Right after the April 30th celebration, many young people started talking about the 80th anniversary of National Day on September 2nd with the parade and march at Ba Dinh Square, Hanoi . Some people have planned to save money to go to Hanoi, some people have ordered group shirts, booked air tickets, booked hotel rooms... to participate in the "National Concert II" - the parade and march to celebrate the 80th anniversary of National Day on September 2nd.
The parade on April 30 is creating a positive effect on the capital's tourism industry during the upcoming National Day holiday on September 2.
On social networks, there are many articles sharing experiences of going to the "national concert" on April 30th so that everyone can learn from them for the upcoming "national concert II" in Hanoi.
These articles sharing information quickly spread, accompanied by thousands of emotional comments, tearful photos and choked status lines as a way for young people to immerse themselves in the sacred atmosphere of the great victory day.

On flight and hotel booking platforms such as Booking, Agoda or Traveloka, at the time of searching on May 12 for the 4-day holiday period of September 2, a series of accommodation facilities around Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and the Old Quarter area were fully booked or had only a very limited number of rooms left during the National Day holiday of September 2. The number of guests booking rooms is still increasing every day, the number of guests booking flight tickets has also increased significantly.
On online hotel booking platforms, many hotels in the Old Quarter and near Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum have announced that they are fully booked during the September 2nd holiday.
Many travel companies in Hanoi said that at present, almost all hotels in the Old Quarter are fully booked for the September 2nd holiday, and even rooms that had been booked by companies were returned with the reason "to serve the September 2nd holiday".
On social media platforms, people who watched the parade and march to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the South and the reunification of the country and those who have not attended the "national concert" have invited each other to form a Zalo or Facebook group to discuss plans, share experiences, etc. The groups have gathered thousands of participants. Many groups that watched the parade and march on the April 30th holiday are still active, discussing plans to go to Hanoi.
