The nine-day Lunar New Year holiday offers an ideal opportunity for springtime travel. Following the official announcement of the holiday schedule, travel agencies have been buzzing with tickets and tour bookings.
Thousands of attractive tours with competitive prices tailored to customers’ travel preferences have been introduced by tourism companies. Many travelers have already visited agency offices to explore itineraries and choose a suitable spring trip for their families.
Ms. Nguyen Cam Van, a resident of Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi, visited a travel agency immediately after the Lunar New Year holiday plan was confirmed. To match her family’s budget, she decided on a domestic destination.
“Every year during Tet, my whole family travels together. It’s a rare opportunity for all family members to be present. This year, we’re choosing domestic travel as it’s more affordable,” Ms. Van shared.
Meanwhile, Thuy Duong and her husband from Hai Ba Trung District, Hanoi, decided to venture abroad this year, selecting China as their destination for the Lunar New Year. She revealed that they had planned the trip a year in advance to secure an early booking and save on costs.
“We planned this trip at the beginning of the year. Each month, we set aside about 10-15% of our salaries to prepare for the upcoming journey,” Ms. Duong explained.

According to surveys, the high demand for travel during holidays inevitably raises travel costs by 15-20% compared to regular days. To encourage early bookings, most travel agencies offer special discounts.
Moreover, the earlier customers plan and book their tours, the greater the discounts they receive.
Travelers are advised to carefully review terms and conditions in their itineraries and contracts to avoid any loss of benefits during their trips.
