With the two national holidays on April
30 and May 1 falling just before a
weekend this year, the tourism market
has become red-hot.
Operators have unveiled a clutch of new
and interesting tours, many of them
offering a chance to get off the beaten
track.
Con Dao Island is on top of many
tourists’ wish list thanks to its scenic
and virgin coast and extreme sports like
high-speed canoeing and deep-sea diving.
Besides, the tour comes quite cheap at
around VND2.9 million (US$180)
all-inclusive.
For those wishing to experience the life
of southern feudal lords of the past,
Fiditour offers a new tour called Ba Gio
Lam Dien Chu (Being a Landlord for Three
Hours).
For three hours, visitors can reprise
the luxurious life enjoyed by the
landlords. The trip will include a fancy
meal and a trip to a rice paddy or a
performance of ca vong co, a popular
southern folk music.
While most of the new tours on offer
take visitors to the deep south,
Saigontourist takes them to the north to
explore the ancient Dong Son Culture in
Vinh and Thanh Hoa cities.
The Dong Son archaeological site, Lam
Kinh Citadel, and Thanh Hoa Museum offer
them a chance to admire the sculptures
and charming dances dating back to the
era of the Hung Kings.
The tour costs VND4.5 million for
departure from HCM City and VND1.52
million from Ha Noi.
