The province is forecast to welcome 120,000 visitors during five days from August 30 – September 3, an increase of 22.4% compared to the same period last year. Revenue from services and tourism during the holiday is expected to reach VND 132 billion (over USD 5.3 million). The number of overnight stays is projected to be 48,000, up 31.3% year-on-year, including around 16,500 international visitors, surging by 54.3%.
According to Director of the provincial Department of Tourism Nguyen Van Phuc, the Vietnam Railways Corporation is offering discounts for both group and individual travelers, so the number of tourists travelling to and from Hue by train is expected to increase sharply.
Phu Bai International Airport in Thua Thien Hue plans to handle 330 flights with approximately 59,400 passengers during the holiday, while the VRC aims to transport around 13,000 passengers arriving at and departing from Hue station. Notably, about 3,500 passengers have booked the Hue – Da Nang "Connecting Central Heritage” tourist train service for the holiday.
Meanwhile, the Central city of Da Nang will offer thousands of tourism service vouchers to visitors under a program running from September to late December, according to the municipal Department of Tourism. The vouchers can be used at various entertainment venues, dining spots, and accommodation options. This initiative aims to stimulate both domestic and international tourism demand, providing visitors with exciting and attractive experiences in the beach city.
Visitors to Da Nang can receive vouchers at the Da Nang airport or on various tourism platforms such as Traveloka and KKDay when booking tourism services, at https://www.traveloka.com/vi-vn/promotion/enjoy-danang and https://www.kkday.com/en/promo/EnjoyDaNang.
As part of the city's tourism promotion campaign, the program promises to bring significant benefits to both visitors and the local community, the department said.
