Khanh Hoa Welcomes Over 1.5 Million Tourists During Holiday Period

Khanh Hoa province is celebrating a remarkable surge in tourism, welcoming over 1.5 million visitors during the extended holiday break encompassing the Hung Kings' Commemoration Day and the April 30-May 1 holidays. This influx has translated into substantial economic gains, with tourism revenue estimated at a staggering 2.6 trillion VND for the nine-day period. The province's vibrant coastal city, Nha Trang, was a particular hotspot, with beaches teeming with visitors enjoying the favorable weather.

This impressive performance is attributed to a confluence of factors. The strategic timing of the holidays, falling close together, created a prolonged vacation period, easing pressure on popular destinations and allowing for a more relaxed visitor experience. Furthermore, the recent completion of key transportation projects, such as the Cam Lam-Vinh Hao and Van Phong-Nha Trang expressways, has significantly improved accessibility, driving a notable increase in road travel to the region. The Cam Ranh airport also saw a flurry of activity, with over 1,000 flights, including more than 600 international arrivals, landing during the holidays.

Accommodation in Khanh Hoa experienced unprecedented demand, with large hotels and resorts, particularly those on islands or along Tran Phu street, reporting occupancy rates consistently above 90%, and many even selling out completely. Even hotels further from the coast saw healthy booking rates exceeding 70%. The provincial Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism has been actively monitoring the situation, conducting inspections to ensure fair pricing and service quality. One establishment was fined 15 million VND for overcharging customers. Looking ahead, Khanh Hoa has set ambitious targets for 2026, aiming to attract 18.8 million visitors, including 6.3 million international tourists, and generate 77 trillion VND in revenue, underscoring the province's commitment to solidifying its position as a premier tourist destination.

The holiday period this year is considered 'breathable' for organization but still maintained its heat thanks to two holidays, Hung Kings' Commemoration Day and April 30, only 2 days apart. This creates a long holiday chain, helping to relieve pressure at destinations and creating conditions for tourists to allocate their time for experiences.
