Beaches, eco-tourism spots packed with holiday revellers
Tourist spots, hotels and amusement venues, and buses and ferries across the country were packed with holiday makers during the four-day holiday that ended on May 2. The sunshine and hot weather in the south made it suitable for sea-related tourism and eco-tourism. Hotels in Vũng Tàu, Mũi Né and Nha Trang, which have famous beaches, operated at full capacity, with room tariffs hiked to two to three times the normal rates. Major roads in Vũng Tàu were packed with tourists from the evening of April 29 as an influx began from neighbouring places like HCM City and Đồng Nai and Bình Dương provinces.
