Ngoc Khanh, 39, from Hanoi, is planning a domestic tour for her family. She was surprised about the cheap airfares and hotel room rates.

“You just pay VND3 million for return tickets, 4-day-three-night stay at a 4-star hotel near the beach, with swimming pool and breakfast. The departure time is before April 15,” she said.

“The fees are also very reasonable in May, the high tourism season, about VND3.7 million per person,” she said.

A tourism site in Da Nang has launched a program specifically designed for Quang Nam and Da Nang residents with super-attractive preferences. The travelers with permanent residence in Da Nang and Quang Nam can enjoy a discount of up to 50 percent in March.

The director of the tourism site said the program was the start of attractive programs offered to travelers in 2024. In addition to discounts, the site has renewed events and festivals.

Prior to that, Da Nang put into operation a bus route to Ba Na mountain, providing convenient, safe and economical travel. The fees are from VND8,000 to VND30,000 and the frequency is one trip every 30 minutes. It takes one hour to reach the mountain.

Mikazuki resort and spa in Lien Chieu district has lowered the tickets for admission to the four-season water park. The ticket price is VND105,000 for children and VND210,000 for adults. The program will last until the end of March.

At Nui Than Tai Hot Spring Park, new services have been introduced, including Bird Garden, Uyen Uong Bridge, Love Forest, expanded picnic area and expanded dinosaur park.

Cao Tri Dung, chair of the Da Nang Tourism Association, said these are the first steps taken by the city’s tourism industry to prepare for the high season of summer, scheduled to receive 8.4 million travelers this year.

“March and April are low season. If many businesses join the promotion, this will give momentum to the high season, creating cash flow, bringing revenue and generating jobs,” Dung said.

The number of tourists to Da Nang on the Tet holiday rose by 40 percent over the previous Tet.
