DNHN - One of the important factors contributing to the development of the tourism industry in Vietnam is low cost. Accordingly, travelling at a low cost compared to other countries has attracted more international tourists to Vietnam.
Accordingly, low cost is a decisive factor for international visitors when choosing a destination. Compared to many other countries in the world, Vietnam is known as a low-cost tourist destination. Services such as accommodation, food, shopping and transportation in Vietnam are often affordable compared to other developed countries. This makes it easier for international tourists with limited budgets to explore and experience many destinations in Vietnam.
Specifically, low cost makes Vietnamese tourism an attractive option for tourists who want to save money. In the context of the global economy undergoing changes and difficulties, many tourists around the world are looking for tourist destinations that fit their budget. Vietnam, with its low cost, becomes a reasonable choice for tourists who want to explore a beautiful country without having to pay too much.
In addition, low cost will have a positive impact on the domestic tourism industry. Attracting international tourists to Vietnam through cost helps increase domestic tourism demand. Vietnamese tourists can explore the beauty of their country more easily and affordably. This means increasing resources and income for domestic tourism businesses while promoting community development.
However, low cost is not the only factor determining international visitors' attraction to Vietnam. The quality of service, the travel experience and the diversity of tourism activities also play an important role. Therefore, for Vietnamese tourism to attract international visitors, there needs to be a harmonious combination of the low cost and quality of tourism services. The government and tourism businesses need to ensure that despite the low cost, tourism services and experiences still meet the requirements and expectations of international visitors.
At the same time, it is necessary to invest in improving the quality of tourism infrastructure, training professional tourism personnel and promoting the image of the country and unique tourist destinations of Vietnam in the international market. This helps build trust and create attractiveness for international visitors, going beyond the low price and creating a great travel experience.
Thus, low cost always plays an important role in attracting international visitors to our country. However, for the Vietnamese tourism industry to develop sustainably, there needs to be a combination of the low cost and quality of tourism services. The government, tourism businesses and the community need to work together to improve the quality and diversify the tourism experience, thereby attracting and retaining the number of international visitors to Vietnam.
