In addition, Vietnam offers numerous ideal destinations that attract a large number of foreign tourists during this time of the year. According to Agoda, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Nha Trang, Hanoi, Phu Quoc island, and Da Lat are some of the must-visit spots in Vietnam.

“When it comes to the largest number of tourists visiting Vietnam during the holidays, Korean tourists lead the way. The Tet season will be a bustling time for Vietnam’s tourism industry,” claimed Agoda.

Melissa Matthews, the Regional Director of Southeast Asia and North America at Red Savannah – a luxury travel company, shared some interesting tips on experiencing Lunar New Year celebrations in Vietnam on the American website Travel + Leisure.

The article suggests that tourists should anticipate increased traffic and difficulties in commuting. Many businesses close for a week or more to celebrate Tet, so tourists should plan their itinerary carefully. The Lunar New Year holiday usually falls at the end of January or early February, but in 2024, the first day of the Lunar New Year falls on February 10.

Melissa Matthews advises tourists to visit the beach during the holiday period for a unique experience. However, tourists should expect higher prices for services and a shortage of staff during the peak season.

Despite the challenges, visiting Vietnam during the Lunar New Year period offers tourists a valuable opportunity to immerse themselves in traditional Asian cultures and witness age-old customs such as ancestor worship, Ong Cong Ong Tao (Worship of the Kitchen Gods), visiting family members for the New Year, and participating in the tradition of wrapping Banh Chung. These unique experiences will create lasting memories for tourists during their time in Vietnam.
