Cheaper domestic tours to attract Vietnamese tourists

Travel agents in Hanoi are offering discounts on domestic tours to attract more Vietnamese tourists.

The move is in response to the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism’s domestic campaign with preferential airfares being offered by Vietnam Airlines.

Vietrantour, for example, is offering ten holiday packages during summer with the highest priced tour costing VND7.59 million, a reduction of VND3-4 million compared to the normal price.

Hanoi Redtours is also promoting three summer tours to the central region with discounts up to VND3 million a tour.

Despite the reduced prices, travel agents assure customers that the quality of service will be unchanged.

The travel agents forecast a surge in the number of domestic visitors during the 2012 summer holidays with a possible year-on-year rise of between 20-25%.
