The centre has submitted the proposal for new prices to the Thua Thien-Hue People’s Committee and is awaiting approval from the provincial administration. It argues that the admission fees for foreign visitors have not been changed since 1993 while inflation has soared since.
The new prices will apply to two complexes of monuments, the first comprising the tombs of emperors Tu Duc, Khai Dinh and Minh Mang as well as the Hue Citadel; and the second consisting of the tombs of Thieu Tri and Dong Khanh, the An Dinh and Hon Chen palaces, the Imperial Citadel and the Antiquities Museum.
For the first complex, foreign tourists will pay VND80,000 (USD3.8) per monument, up from the current fee of USD55,000, while domestic visitors will pay VND55,000 (USD2.63) per person per monument, up from VND30,000.
For the second complex, foreign and domestic tourists will be charged VND40,000 (USD1.91) and VND30,000 (USD1.43) per monument, respectively.
