In addition to visitors, the number of overnight guests also increased during this period. Specifically, some tourist destinations achieved 100% room occupancy throughout the holiday such as Thien Cam (Cam Xuyen); Quynh Vien (Thach Ha); Xuan Thanh, Phu Minh Gia (Nghi Xuan); Hai Thuong (Huong Son), etc. The total room occupancy rate in the province during the holiday reached about 85%, an increase of 10% compared to the same period in 2023.

Not only beach tourism but also ecotourism and community tourism destinations in Ha Tinh during the holiday also attracted a large number of visitors for sightseeing and relaxation. These include destinations such as Rao An (Son Kim 1, Huong Son), Hai Thuong Ecological Tourist Area (Huong Son); Da Bac Eco Ecological Tourist Area (Nam Dien, Thach Ha); Dong Loc crossroads, Huong Tich Pagoda (Can Loc); Duc Duong garden house ecological tourist area (Nghi Xuan), etc.

The number of tourists visiting cultural and spiritual tourist areas also increased sharply at historical sites such as Dong Loc crossroads and Tran Phu relic sites.

It is known that in 2024, Ha Tinh province aims to welcome 4 million visitors. The results in attracting tourists during the April 30 - May 1 holiday have opened up many positive signals and prospects for tourism development in the friendly and hospitable homeland of Ha Tinh.
