This is quite an impressive figure, considering that heavy and prolonged rainfall occurred throughout the four-day holiday. Over 130,000 visitors stayed in accommodation facilities (an increase of over 17%), including more than 25,000 international visitors (up by 12.12% compared to 2023). Lodging revenue also increased by more than 13%, amounting to over VND 128 billion.
As per the Tourism Department, the occupancy rate in the province during the four days ranged from 80% to 85%. On the first day, it was around 45% due to the continuous rain. Despite the weather, the number of visitors to the province remained high.
Chau Duc District reported that rooms in local tourist areas were fully booked on the nights of September 1 and 2.
Thuy Van Street was bustling but without traffic congestion
To ensure the safety of tourists visiting the province, the Tourism Department worked with several key tourist districts and cities before the holiday to understand their preparations for receiving and serving tourists. The People’s Committees of these districts and cities also developed specific plans to maintain security and order and ensure the safety of visitors.
Sure, I can assist with that.

He proposes the development of a premium tourism infrastructure axis and a modern transportation network, including river, road, and rail connections linking Ho Chi Minh City, Cu Chi, Nui Ba Den, and Tay Ninh. This, he believes, will create a dynamic and vibrant waterfront atmosphere, mirroring the success of major cities around the world.
