During the first two days of the National Day holiday (September 2nd), Hue Ancient Capital welcomed thousands of tourist arrivals. Currently, tourist destinations in Thua Thien Hue, especially the relics belonging to the Complex of Hue Monuments, continue to be bustling with visitors.

Vietnam is preparing to enter the peak season for international tourists. Based on the strong growth rate of the tourism industry in the early months of 2024, the provincial tourism sector is implementing many solutions to prepare for the anticipated influx of foreign visitors.

From May to early September each year is considered the low season for international tourists. However, Vietnam's tourism industry in general and Thua Thien Hue in particular are implementing various strategies to attract foreign tourists, especially from target markets.

On the occasion of the Lunar New Year of the Cat 2023, Hue Monuments Conservation Center organizes various cultural and artistic activities at Hue Imperial Citadel to introduce to visitors the special and unique features of the Ancient Capital’s culture on the old days and create vibrant atmosphere for the heritage area.

Hue is one of the most sought-after destinations by tourists. Some other localities are also commonly searched for such as Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Lat, Nha Trang, Da Nang city, and Phu Quoc island.

After the Bangkok - Hue - Bangkok charter flight, Thua Thien Hue plans to open charter and commercial routes connecting Hue ancient capital with some ancient capitals in Southeast Asia, such as: Ayutthaya (Thailand) - Luang Prabang (Laos) - Siem Reap (Cambodia)…

It is necessary to strengthen the promotion and promote Hue tourism to international tourist markets when the markets are gradually showing a recovery.
