Ms. Bui Thi Ngoc Hieu, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism , said so when talking to Tuoi Tre about the program to encourage night flights to Ho Chi Minh City implemented by the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism in coordination with Vietnam Airlines Corporation and travel agencies and accommodation establishments.
Ms. Hieu said: With this program, guests flying at night to Ho Chi Minh City will receive a free or discounted room rate for the first night, applicable to guests staying at least two nights or more.

- The night flight tourism product in Ho Chi Minh City is deployed in July and August. People and tourists who have demand will register and use the service.
During this time, people and tourists come to the city on Vietnam Airlines night flights before 6am and after 9pm.
The program applies to flights from Hanoi , Hue, Da Nang, Nha Trang and Phu Quoc to Ho Chi Minh City. Customers hold the ticket code to check-in and receive the program's incentives.
* On what basis did the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism and other units decide to implement this program?
- The increase in night flights by airlines is based on actual demand to meet the increased travel needs of people and tourists during the peak summer season, especially individual groups, families and conference guests.
Airlines have optimized their fleet of aircraft and service personnel, thereby contributing to cooling down airfares to reasonable prices, increasing more attractive options for tourists nationwide during the peak summer season of 2024. Thereby contributing to stimulating domestic tourism to attract more tourists to Ho Chi Minh City.
With the hotel's conditions, when booking a room, it is necessary to provide flight booking information that meets the "night flight" conditions of Vietnam Airlines and when guests check in, they need to provide the corresponding boarding pass to the receptionist when checking in. Therefore, guests' check-in is very convenient, without having to wait much time.
* Why is a two-night stay required to enjoy the benefits, madam?
- Based on your needs, visitors can contact and book directly at the accommodation facilities. Each facility will have different preferential policies and conditions. However, there will be some mandatory conditions such as visitors must stay at the hotel for two nights or more.
The list of participating accommodations is posted on the website of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism and Vietnam Airlines. This is phase one, in the coming time we will work with more hotels. The room occupancy rate in the city during the three summer months does not exceed 70%, so the probability of guests booking a room under this program without a room is very low.
Minimum stay 2 nights
Under the night flight promotion program, Vietnam Airlines Corporation encourages tourist accommodation establishments to join in building a package product combining air tickets by offering free or 80% discount for the first night.
Some flights with reasonable and attractive prices depart from Ho Chi Minh City to other localities including Hanoi, Hue, Da Nang, Nha Trang and Phu Quoc... and vice versa with the time frame before 6am and after 9pm.
Guests staying at least two nights or more will be eligible for this program offer.
This is also a tourism stimulus activity of the city in the summer of 2024. Tourist accommodation establishments participating in the program must be units with a valid star rating decision or meet the minimum requirements on technical facilities and services for tourists according to regulations.
Airlines will list the accommodations on their websites, so the airlines work directly to assess the quality and offer promotions.
