During the Lunar New Year 2026 (Tet) holiday, transport services between the mainland and Co To special zone will be maintained to meet travel demand, ensure the supply of essential goods and serve tourists.
According to Le Ngoc Han, Secretary of the Party Committee of Co To special zone, on the 29th day of the last lunar month (February 16), Co To will operate a spring vessel service for military personnel, residents and officials, offering one free trip to the island and one free return trip to the mainland.
To meet rising demand from residents returning home for Tet and visitors travelling to the island, transport operators in Co To will continue daily passenger and cargo services to/from the island until the 29th day of the last lunar month, with operations resuming from the second day of the first lunar month (February 18).
At local markets and commercial centres, supplies of essential goods, particularly agricultural products and fresh food are abundant, with prices closely monitored to prevent hoarding and price hikes.
In 2025, Co To recorded positive growth in green tourism, welcoming more than 350,000 visitors, including around 2,200 international arrivals, with tourism revenue exceeding VND 1 trillion.
