visitors, and at the same time adhere to pandemic prevention and control
regulations. The tourist site only accepts adults with "vaccine passports” and

regulations. Previously, the price of each luxury room was 1.7 million VND per
night for two adults and two children, while in the promotion programme, the
room price is reduced to 899,000 VND and one set of special food for the whole

still hesitant to travel, promoting tourism within the province is in
accordance with the trend of boosting tourism in association with ensuring
safety against COVID-19. According to Bui Xuan Truong, Deputy Director of the
provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, in the context that the
pandemic is put under control in the province and is abating in localities
nationwide, tourist areas and attractions begin welcoming visitors, with focus
on those who are living and working in the province, and are fully vaccinated.
The reopening of tourism activities helps local tourists experience services
with many incentives right where they live.
