There will be no sharp rise in the number of visitors to Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa on the coming New Year holiday 2018. The whole Khanh Hoa Province is expected to receive about 40,000, including 18,000 foreigners.  
 
A week before the New Year holiday, it’s still easy to book rooms in under-2-star hotels in Nha Trang. Coming to some hotels, we see room prices are posted and there is no increase in their prices. Some hotel owners say that they expect room occupation of 50% on this occasion. 
 
In 3-5 star hotels, 80% of the rooms for that time have been booked, some hotels have been full. Most of the guests are foreigners.

In some big travel firms in Nha Trang, there is also no rise year-on-year in the number of tourists booking domestic or outbound tours. Tours to Sa Pa, Da Lat, Da Nang…from Nha Trang are the most favorite to people in Khanh Hoa and some nearby provinces.

Many hotels and resorts will organize celebration events on New Year Eve for their guests. Some of them will put Vietnamese traditional features in their art programs on this occasion.
 
The number of visitors taking island tours is forecast to rise by only 5%. Tourist destinations like Vinpearl Land, Hon Tam Merperle, Hoa Lan Stream, Monkey Island, Yang Bay, etc. also don’t expect sharp rise in visitor number. For example, Yang Bay Tourist Park expects to receive about 500 visitors a day. Mineral and mud bath sites estimate to received 1,500 - 2,500 visitors a day each. “We forecast to receive about 1,800 visitors to two islands Monkey and Hoa Lan on the coming New Year festival. We will not organize art events on this occasion. We will hold them on the lunar New Year festival.
 
The provincial Department of Tourism has sent a dispatch to tourism businesses to ask them to make good preparation to serve tourists well on the New Year festival 2018, and implement regulations on price rightly, according to Nguyen Thi Le Thanh, deputy director of the department.
