"Tight guillotine" holidays and stories "know, suffering too, said forever ..."

Every holiday, the tourism industry to heat up the situation, "tight guillotine". Past international visitors were "pickpockets" tourist arrivals in the country. Perhaps, this is one of the causes leading to the decline of international visitors to Vietnam recently.

30/4 and 1/5 holiday lasting conditions for domestic tourism "boom" in many destinations, and like to reschedule up, so every year on this occasion to state "tight guillotine "overvalued, the price squeeze occurs constantly at tourist sites across the country.


Despite the hot sun, tourists crowded into the ship traveled in past occasions.

Danang is known as the most friendly destinations in Vietnam but during the holidays last 30/4 hotels, motels in Danang was no longer a blank, while the pubs coastal, taxis almost overwhelmed. Prices in restaurants, pubs, especially seafood kiosks selling price has increased over 30%, with consistent increases over 50% compared to weekdays. One kilogram of milk oysters grilled onion prices on weekdays from East 100,000 70,000 but this increased from 100.000- 150,000 VND / kg.

In Vung Tau room price rose too high, many travelers are workers, students, young people traveling by motorcycle can not rent the rooms had to take the park to accommodate overnight.

Fire prevention situation also occurs in many other tourist destinations. In Binh Thuan, on 1/5, occupancy is almost 100% in the center of Mui Ne, Phan Thiet well as the vicinity. Besides, this time the weather is not favorable, so the amount of fresh seafood, not much. Fresh seafood prices have increased by 100% spot, even increased.

In Kien Giang, tourists can not buy train tickets out of Phu Quoc Island, Hon Tre, Nam Du ... although the ships have increased flights. Hotels, accommodation facilities in Phu Quoc are often fully booked, many visitors do not have union officers returned to the ship to destinations in mainland makes this point the number of tourists also increased over the same period every year .


6 past holiday vacation is considered "the limit" for the tourism sector in the context of our tourism industry is facing many difficulties.

At Sapa in the last holiday season, many travel companies and tourists stunned at Sapa room rates skyrocketed, 4-5x compared to weekdays. Particularly in this tourist center with hotels and "shout" to price 46 million / room / night.

Before that, several months touring tourists travel businesses has skyrocketed. Many travel agencies have added tours and services but still does not meet all the needs of people hanging out. By mid-month 4/2015, many travel companies have to stop signing tour for visitors.

Information from Quang Ninh Department of Culture said in the past holidays, Quang Ninh has welcomed more than 130 thousand visitors, including nearly 100 thousand tourists visit Ha Long Bay.

According to the inland waterway port in Quang Ninh, separately in two days 30/4 and 1/5, there were 1,647 ships visit Halong Bay, culminating with 828 1/5 day trip with more than 25 ships dock thousand tourists Guest.

In Hai Phong, more than 6,000 rooms in motels, hotels are often fully booked throughout the island, where most tourists were registered in advance. 3474 200 rooms stay tourism establishments in tourist Son are registered lease. The number of tourists come here every day more than 20 thousand people. Particularly, the opening day of the festival tour "Son - Beach calling 2015" more than 40 thousand visitors to attend.

In Dong Hoi City, Quang Binh, in the first day of vacation periods 30/4 and 1/5 years, hotels from 1 to 5 stars in the city has received about 90% of guests registered earlier, mostly tourists in Hanoi and the northern provinces. On this occasion, from 28/4 to 1/5 day, nearly 6,800 unions with more than 137 thousand people from all parts of the country to visit the grave of General Vo Nguyen Giap in Vung Chua - Dao Yen, Quang Dong, Quang Trach.

Like many other travel companies, in 6 day holiday travel Tourism Company estimates APT has served more than 2,000 guests. Mainly on two main routes overnight cruise in Halong Bay and Sapa according to the tour program lasts from 2-4 days.

"Unlike the retail services business style grabbing tight guillotine, this occasion is for businesses to brand reputation with customers, so service quality is quite good, many companies decided to shear interest to serve this holiday period, "said Nguyen Hong Dai, Director of APT Travel Tourism said.

Meanwhile, according to the company Vietravel the holidays 30/4 - 1/5 holiday this year was special for the family. Therefore, immediately after the Lunar New Year, the company had planned to prepare special set of products, working with partners to have the best rates. The company minimizes the tour price increases by linking with the gold partner. Therefore, the tour price only slightly higher, around 10%, due to the price of the holiday service providers increases.

According to statistics, in 2015 passenger traffic at Vietravel tours increased by 2.5 times compared to the same period in 2014. Of these, about 8,000 service Vietravel passengers traveling in the country, 12,000 passengers traveled abroad (not including groups). Faced with "smoking" hotel as the last holiday season, the company has opened the domestic tour by car and a tour of Southeast Asia to meet the requirements of travelers. Not only in the domestic tour, foreign tour road is very diverse, from distant markets like Japan, Korea, USA, Europe, Australia to tour Southeast Asia beam frequency thick departure.

It can be asserted, the past 6 holiday vacation is considered "the limit" for the tourism sector in the context of our tourism industry is facing many difficulties, the holidays have great business opportunities for the tourism industry. However, one thing I have noticed that, despite efforts, Vietnam tourism industry has not escaped the professional shortages. The story does get "tight guillotine" for years and still not resolved well. This has demonstrated that over a year the number of international visitors to Vietnam constantly declining and few signs of recovery.
