Nha Trang: Exciting outbound tours in summer 2024

Tourism is in peak season. Besides domestic tours and routes, travel companies in Khanh Hoa also sell many tours to Korea, Thailand, China, Japan... and have received very good feedbacks.

This year's summer tourism season sees the strong attraction of foreign tours. People of Khanh Hoa and neighboring provinces tend to want to experience tours to Thailand, Korea, Japan, China... To meet demand, travel companies in the province have launched many tours for the outbound tourism market. For example, for tours to Korea, in addition to familiar destinations such as Seoul and Busan, there are also visa-free tours to travel in Jeollanamdo, Jeju... A large number of people have come to ask about summer tours. With reasonable tour prices, many tourists boldly buy tours for the whole family to go abroad. In early June, Vietravel Nha Trang organized a charter tour to take 160 guests to Jeju (Korea), many of whom traveled in family groups. “I found the price of a tour to Jeju quite good, so I booked a tour for the whole family to go together. This is a gift I give to my whole family after several years of not traveling abroad", Nguyen Anh Duong (Nha Trang City) expressed.

A lot of people watching Vietravel Nha Trang's livestream selling tours at Nha Trang Beach Tourism Festival 2024.

With prices ranging from 8 to 16 million VND, tours to Thailand, Singapore, Korea, and China sell well. Besides, tourists are also interested in tours to Japan, Australia, Western European countries andAmerica. “This summer, tours abroad are of interest to many tourists and many tour bookings. We, like many travel companies, try not to increase tour prices and launch many attractive promotional packages to attract tourists. The number of tourists booking summer tours this year has doubled compared to 2023," said Bui Thi Xuan Van - Deputy Director of Vietravel Nha Trang. Similarly, Ung Van Nhut - Chairman of the Board of Directors and General Director of Global Open Tourism Joint Stock Company said that outbound tourists are accounting for 70% of the company's revenue.

According to travel agencies, air tickets of outbound tours have been subsidized, so their prices are very good for tourists. With attractive prices and diverse choices, the foreign tourism market continues to demonstrate its position and positive growth potential. Currently, along with tours to Thailand and Korea, tours to China are very popular. With 15 flights/day from major Chinese cities to Cam Ranh, travel agencies can easily organize tours to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, and so on. Tourists can also choose charter tours flying directly from Cam Ranh to Japan. As planned, in August, Vietravel Nha Trang will continue to depart for Japan charter tours with destinations like Sendai, Ibaraki, Tokyo, Nikko andFukushima. Some other companies also operate tours to Australia, America...

According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Le Thanh - Director of the provincial Department of Tourism, the return of the vibrant international tourism market is very good for Khanh Hoa tourism because there must always be two-way exchange of visitors to develop sustainable tourism.
