Nha Trang tourism hibernates at the beginning of summer

Last updated : 09:37 on 11/01/2025

Normally, around the beginning of June, when students have finished their school year, tourists from all over the country flock to Khanh Hoa to enjoy swimming in the clear blue water of the sea and enjoy the famous fresh seafood dishes. But the Covid-19 pandemic in the past 2 years has turned everything upside down. These days, the whole beach is deserted. Khanh Hoa tourism is suffering from "hibernation" in the middle of summer!

Vietnam is one of the countries that has controlled the Covid-19 epidemic best in the world. Therefore, when entering 2021, tourism businesses shifted to the domestic tourist market with many expectations. Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa with the advantage of sea tourism is always a favorite destination for tourists. However, the picture of a vibrant summer tourist season that had just begun to take its first strokes during the April 30 and May 1 holidays has gone up in smoke when the epidemic broke out again in many provinces and cities such as Ha Nam, Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, Hanoi, Da Nang... Blue sea, golden sunshine but the streets of Nha Trang are deserted. On a weekend afternoon, driving along Tran Phu - Pham Van Dong street, looking at the scene of "closed doors and bolts" hotels, I felt extremely sad. The whole bustling tourist city has lost its inherent vitality. Many businesses are on the verge of bankruptcy. Tens of thousands of workers have lost their jobs. The fate of many people making a living from tourism services is now even more difficult!

According to the Department of Tourism, it is estimated that in May, the whole province welcomed 55,000 overnight guests, including about 1,500 international visitors. That is a very small number compared to before the Covid-19 epidemic. With the current complicated epidemic situation, the number of tourists coming to Nha Trang in June will certainly be much lower. Currently, many guests planning to stay in July have also contacted travel agencies and hotels to postpone their check-in date in the hope that the epidemic in the country will soon be controlled.

Currently, tourism businesses have proactively strengthened measures to prevent and combat the Covid-19 epidemic. On Khanh Hoa tourism forums, instead of images and information about promoting new tourism products; promotional trips to promote tourism..., there are updates on the epidemic situation with full of worries. Every time the government issues instructions to strengthen measures to prevent and combat the epidemic, including tightening business activities in entertainment and tourism services..., tourism businesses share information with each other to implement together. Mr. Vo Quang Hoang - Chairman of Khanh Hoa Hotel Association expressed that at this time, the top priority is to prevent and combat the epidemic. Only once the epidemic is under control, can tourism operate peacefully.

With the emergence of a new outbreak in Ho Chi Minh City, the fight against the epidemic will be more difficult and take longer than expected. It is not impossible that Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa tourism will have to "hibernate" throughout this summer. Tourism "lying still" is inevitable! However, tourism workers can take advantage of this time to prepare for a strong comeback!
