Vietnam tour package deals after COVID-19<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

During the COVID-19 outbreak, multiple tours across Vietnam were cancelled due to movement restrictions. This led to a significant drop in revenues for travel agencies, airlines, and the service sector in general.<\/p>\n

As the country has lifted the nationwide lockdown and is now encouraging domestic travel, many travel agencies and airlines have come up with promotions and discounts <\/strong>to entice residents to travel domestically.<\/p>\n

Travel agencies try to revitalize inbound tours<\/span><\/h3>\n

Many cities and provinces in Vietnam, such as Ho Chi Minh City, Quang Nam Province, and Quang Ninh City, are offering discounts as well as free tickets to local attraction sites.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Local airlines also jump on the bandwagon<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n

To make up for previous losses from the drop in air travel during the COVID-19 pandemic, local airlines are also jumping on the bandwagon by increasing air routes<\/a> and offering promotions for travellers.<\/p>\n

In a bid to win more bookings, VietJet Air<\/strong>, Vietnam\u2019s most popular budget airline, has started to release flight tickets from as low as VND18,000 (~USD0.77<\/strong>) for Hanoi-Da Nang flights. Usually, a flight ticket between Hanoi and Danang is about VND1 million (~USD42.85)<\/strong> and above.<\/p>\n

What comes as a surprise is that even Vietnam Airlines<\/strong>, which usually has\u00a0 the highest airfares, is also offering discounted tickets from only VND99,000 (~USD4.24<\/strong>) per ticket for all domestic flights starting from 6th September this year.<\/p>\n

Of course, this price point does not factor in taxes and fees yet, which can amount up to VND579,000 (~USD24.78<\/strong>), but it\u2019s still an unprecedented move from the national airline.<\/p>\n
