Thousands of people visited a stall of Da Lat Pini tourist complex in Lam Dong Province to learn about domestic and foreign tours that have been offered at reasonable prices.

According to participating travel firms at the festival, foreign tours visiting destinations in Northeast and Southeast Asia drew many visitors for their promotional prices. The Covid-19 pandemic outbreak has greatly affected people’s travel behaviors.

Therefore, countries and territories have launched preferential policies for airfares, accommodation, and food services to bring tourists back.

The 19th HCMC Tourism Festival opened at the September 23 Park in District 1 in the evening of April 6 and ended on April 9.
