Sam Son will be hosting several diverse activities throughout the summer in an effort to promote tourism, such as a national volleyball tournament, a Banh Chung festival to celebrate the delicious Vietnamese square glutinous rice cakes, and a cycling tournament, all of which will take place in early July.

According to a report published by the Sam Son City People’s Committee, the novel coronavirus epidemic has greatly affected the local tourism industry.
