A number of large tourism enterprises such as Vietravel, Saigontourist, Fiditour... recorded a lot of positive information when the number of customers ordering tours with the trend closer to the time from 2 to 4 days is quite large. The number of visitors is mainly from the city market. In Ho Chi Minh City, guests are more confident and optimistic about disease control, so they decided to go on a trip.

Promising a new year, the tourism industry will recover strongly, affirming its position as an important economic sector of the country.
