In context of high inflation, increase in gasoline prices lead to the rise in costs of transportation, rooms, services ... at the sightseeing spots. To avoid losses, travel businesses in the province must also adjust tour prices increased from 10-30%, but not for that the tours for this year"s holiday 2-9 have few guests. Mr. Nguyen Dinh Thao, Deputy Director of the CD Tours Travel Center, said destinations like Dalat, Nha Trang, Phan Thiet were the first choice of many people of Ba Ria-Vung Tau. By this time, CD Tours has over 100 registered guests.
At OSC Vietnam Travel, more than a month ago, this unit had 160 guests booking for Dalat, Nha Trang, Con Dao, Phan Thiet tours.
Hai Dang Travel Company (No. 389 Nguyen An Ninh street, Ward 9, Vung Tau City) also exploits the tours to Nha Trang-Da Lat, Phu Quoc, Con Dao, West with itinerary of 3 days 2 nights and the tours Phan Thiet, Mui Ne, Binh Chau with 2 day 1 night itinerary.
VTTours Travel Center (under the provincial Tourism J.S.C), guests are mainly family objectives for convalescence, so destinations selected are Binh Chau, Phan Thiet-Mui Ne, Ninh Chu since these places have luxurious resorts, fresh air, close to nature and services for recovery, regeneration of travelers’ health such as swimming pools, mud baths, spa, massage ... The tours to Nha Trang, Da Lat, the West have little choice on this occasion.
