Visitors experience tourism in Hue

Master the journey

As the last long holiday of the year, September 2nd is chosen by many people and tourists to travel. A survey at travel agencies in Hue shows that the trend of tourists traveling on September 2nd this year is very high. It is worth noting that many tourists choose to travel independently, in family groups by private cars and trains.

A representative of Vietravel Hue Tourism Company Limited said that while in the past, customers often chose package tours, this year, customers only booked services such as hotels, homestays, and tickets to tourist destinations. A large number of tourists choose to travel independently to take the initiative in their journey. With convenient transportation infrastructure, especially the North-South expressways, many families and groups of tourists drive their own cars to tourist destinations, taking the initiative in stopping and resting at destinations.

Being proactive in your itinerary helps tourists combine multiple destinations. Visitors to Hue often combine visits to tourist attractions in Quang Tri and Da Nang. In Hue, visitors tend to visit historical sites, community eco-tourism sites, Tam Giang lagoon, and culinary experiences.

According to travel agencies, choosing short-term tours is also a highlight during the September 2nd holiday. As students prepare to start the new school year, families’ travel experiences are also shortened. In Hue, many tourists mainly choose half-day, 1-day or 2-day 1-night tours.

Because of choosing short-term, independent travel, hotel bookings are also quite close to the date. Mr. Ho Dang Xuan Lan, Chairman of the Hue City Hotel Association, General Director of Parkview Hue Hotel, said that by mid-August, the number of guests booking rooms at accommodation establishments has not shown any signs of a sudden increase, but the prospect of the number of guests during the National Day holiday is still very positive. Tourists often book hotel rooms quite close to the date because they are proactive in their itinerary, not dependent on pre-booked tours. In addition, many independent travelers prefer to choose homestays.
