THỪA THIÊN HUẾ - The central province of Thừa Thiên – Huế will organise a wide range of exciting sports, recreational, and entertainment activities, and diversify tourism products to attract visitors during this year's National Day holiday, which will last from August 31 to September 3.

According to Director of the provincial Department of Tourism Nguyễn Văn Phúc, the Việt Nam Railways Corporation is offering discounts for both group and individual travellers, so the number of tourists travelling to and from Huế by train is expected to increase sharply.

Phú Bài International Airport in Thừa Thiên – Huế plans to handle 330 flights with approximately 59,400 passengers during the holiday, while the VRC aims to transport around 13,000 passengers arriving at and departing from Huế station.

Notably, about 3,500 passengers have booked the Huế – Đà Nẵng "Connecting Central Heritage” tourist train service for the holiday.

Meanwhile, the central city of Đà Nẵng will offer thousands of tourism service vouchers to visitors under a programme running from September to late December, according to the municipal Department of Tourism.

The vouchers can be used at various entertainment venues, dining spots, and accommodation options. This initiative aims to stimulate both domestic and international tourism demand, providing visitors with exciting and attractive experiences in the beach city.

Visitors to Đà Nẵng can receive vouchers at the Đà Nẵng airport or on various tourism platforms such as Traveloka and KKDay when booking tourism services, at https://www.traveloka.com/vi-vn/promotion/enjoy-danang and https://www.kkday.com/en/promo/EnjoyDaNang.

As part of the city's tourism promotion campaign, the programme promises to bring significant benefits to both visitors and the local community, the department said. - VNA/VNS
