This year’s National Day holiday lasts 4 days (from August 31 to September 3), so it is considered an opportunity for localities with developed sea tourism systems to attract tourists such as Ba Ria – Vung Tau (BR-VT), Binh Thuan.
Although the weather in the first days of the holiday and the first day of the holiday were not favorable because of rain (rain forecast), however, that did not affect the “travel” mentality of many people after tiring working days, needing a short time to rest, have fun with family, relatives, and friends. BR-VT and Binh Thuan are often the first choice of many people during the holidays because of the advantage of convenient routes, not too far, and famous beaches.

The number of guests staying is estimated at nearly 123,000, an increase of 7.46% compared to last year’s National Day holiday. Room occupancy at accommodation establishments is about 80-85%.
