People in Hanoi are flocking to resorts near the city at the weekend as the Covid-19 pandemic has been brought under control.
Visitors at Flamingo Dai Lai Vinh Phuc Resort
At 8 am on March 26, a group of 40 people came to Flamingo Dai Lai Resort in the northern province of Vinh Phuc for a weekend break.
According to Minh Anh, a tour guide of the group, groups from companies often choose five-star resorts near Hanoi for their weekend trips.
A representative from Flamingo Dai Lai Vinh Phuc Resort said that all of the resort’s rooms were booked last weekend. Most of the visitors were from Hanoi.
Avana Retreat Resort in Hoa Binh Province has been fully booked at weekends until Reunification Day (April 30) and the May Day Holiday. Many people also come to the resort from Monday to Friday to avoid crowds.
The same situation has been reported at other resorts near Hanoi such as Serena Resort Kim Boi, Mai Chau Ecolodge and Bakhan Resort Mai Chau in Hoa Binh Province and Melia Ba Vi in Ba Vi District, and Tomodachi Lang Mit in Son Tay Town in Hanoi.
The pandemic in the capital city has been brought under control, so more people want to relax following a long time of applying social distancing regulations.
They prioritise short trips to resorts around Hanoi with their relatives and friends.
Dinh Van Huynh, director of Himalaya Sapa, said that the hotel is working at around 80 percent of its capacity. Most of the customers are domestic tourists. All of the hotel’s rooms have been fully booked for the coming Reunification Day and May Day Holiday.
