Big City hotels slash rates to entice guests
Thirty leading hotels in HCM City agreed early this week to cut by 30 per cent their room rates in a move to lure visitors to the city. Truong Vinh Tho, head of the HCM City Tourism Department’s travel division, said the lower room rates launched by three- to five-star hotels would help make it possible for tour operators to launch attractive packages for visitors. Tho said the rates would eventually be even lower because hotels would offer discounts on other special rates for their preferred tour operators.
To promote the country’s tourism, the Viet Nam National Administration of Tourism also announced that Vietnam Airlines would discount fares by 30 per cent for guests from key markets to create a strong promotion programme from next January to September.
