Extended Holiday for Tet Festival
The Vietnamese Tet Festival in 2025 will be a record-long holiday, spanning from January 25th to February 2nd. As the most important cultural celebration in Vietnam, Tet brings an influx of domestic travelers to popular tourist spots, leading to overcrowding and increased demand. Travel agents should plan ahead for their clients by being mindful of holiday surcharges applied by hotels, transportation services, and other suppliers during this period.
Preparing for Surcharges and Overcrowding
Given that surcharge amounts and periods vary widely, it’s crucial to check availability and pricing well in advance to avoid surprises. While Tet offers a rich cultural experience for travelers, it’s best to inform clients about the potential challenges of visiting Vietnam during this time, especially if they prefer a quieter vacation. Highlight the cultural significance of Tet and prepare flexible itineraries to navigate the busy atmosphere.
