BAC NINH - On the occasion of National Day this year, officials, civil servants, public employees and workers have 4 days off. This is an opportunity for everyone, every family to reunite; associations, groups to meet and exchange after days of working and studying away from home. Thanks to that, commercial and service activities are also more vibrant than usual.

A survey at major markets and supermarkets in Bac Ninh province showed that the number of people shopping and using food services in inner-city areas such as wards: Bac Giang , Da Mai, Nenh, Kinh Bac, Vo Cuong, Tu Son, etc. has increased. A representative of GO! Bac Giang Supermarket said that purchasing power at the Supermarket in recent days has increased by more than 10% compared to September 2nd last year.

At large, modern shopping centers such as Vincom Bac Ninh and Vincom Bac Giang, there are also many customers coming to visit, shop and eat. It is known that the number of visitors to these two shopping centers has doubled compared to normal days.

Although the number of shoppers is large and goods are consumed a lot, the prices of goods are stable and the supply is abundant.

Along with commercial activities, other services, especially food and beverage services, also attract customers during this time. This is because this is the time when workers have a long holiday; associations and groups organize meetings, class reunions, and parties to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Independence Day.

Mr. Nguyen Tien Thang, owner of Cua Do restaurant, Bac Giang ward, informed that although this year many people went to Hanoi to attend the grand ceremony to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day on September 2, the number of customers coming to the restaurant is still the same as last year with about 500 customers coming to eat/day.

According to the Department of Industry and Trade, there are currently no statistics on the amount of goods and services consumed and used on the occasion of September 2, but in August this year, trade and service activities in the province were bustling. Total retail sales of goods and service revenue in August is estimated at nearly 11.8 trillion VND, up 19.63% over the same period last year.

The above results were achieved because, in addition to economic growth, the Ministry of Industry and Trade and related departments, branches, enterprises and cooperatives had plans to supply essential goods from the beginning of the year. At the same time, solutions to prevent and combat trade fraud, stabilize the market and promote trade and consumption of domestic goods were strengthened.
