The Da Lat Flower Festival is currently taking place and the New Year is nearing, lots of hotels still have vacant rooms. Many hotels are offering 10-20% discounts.
Hotels on Nam Ky Khoi Nghia Street in Da Lat
Nguyen Thi Hong, a hotel owner on Nam Ky Khoi Nghia Street, said that this year her hotel has seen the sharp decline of guests.
According to Hoang Van Thanh who owns a guesthouse on Nam Ky Khoi Nghia, he turned down tourists who wanted to pay VND800,000 (USD36.3) per single room as it is quite low price during the peak tourism season. However, he had nearly no other bookings until that night, where he had to rent a single room out for VND500,000.
To attract more customers to Da Lat tours, travel firms have launched many attractive promotions such as offering a VND1-million (USD47.6) bonus for customers.
Da Lat Flower Festival
Da Lat has around 1,200 hotels and guest houses which can serve around 50,000 guests. Homestays are also quite popular in the city.
Declining numbers of visitors have been attributed to increased construction work, destruction of the city’s iconic pine woods, fewer flower gardens and repetitious content of the Da Lat Flower Festival.
