HCM City (VNA) – The Ho Chi Minh City
Department of Tourism on April 3 launched the 2024 stimulus programme, with discounts
of 10-60% on
various tourism products and services.
Participating businesses have already signed Memoranda of
Understanding (MOUs) to ensure a comprehensive range of discounted options. The
programme, with nearly 100 travel agents, accommodation and dining
facilities, shopping venues and entertainment centres taking part, will be officially
introduced to tourists at the upcoming Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Festival slated
for April 4-7 at 23/9 Park in District 1.
Travelers can choose from up to 23 urban tours in Ho Chi Minh
City, along with 13 additional tours connecting the city with neighbouring
areas.
In particular, a network of dining, shopping, healthcare,
entertainment and leisure service establishments will offer 200,000 discount
vouchers valued at 50 billion VND (2 million USD).
To hold
diverse and sustainable demand-stimulating activities, the municipal Department
of Tourism and the Department of Industry and Trade signed a joint plan for
tourism demand stimulation for the 2024 – 2030 period.
Since the late 2023, the municipal Department
of Tourism has been
actively working with key industry players like resort conglomerates, travel
agents, and hospitality establishments to build attractively priced tours, and
encourage visitors to explore not only Ho Chi Minh City but also other
destinations across the country./.
