This year, in addition to hotels and restaurants, city residents also have the option of cafes along the banks of the Saigon River.

A representative of the Majestic Saigon Hotel said that the New Year's Eve program at the hotel's high-floor restaurant, with a ticket price of 3.6 million VND excluding taxes and fees, had already sold out.

Restaurants on the 4th and 12th floors of the Grand Saigon Hotel, which have views of the Saigon River, are also "sold out" on New Year's Eve.

"Guests will enjoy a premium buffet with special dishes and drinks in a vibrant atmosphere from the evening party to the countdown and together watch the fireworks directly on the Saigon River.

Service packages such as dinner parties with fireworks viewing are very popular, especially with foreign guests and family groups," said a representative of this hotel.

The situation is also positive for cruise ships on the Saigon River. According to a representative of the Saigon Princess cruise ship, demand for reservations to watch fireworks since the beginning of December has increased sharply. "We have had to refuse reservations since the beginning of this week.

These services combine sightseeing, enjoying dinner parties and watching fireworks on the river, bringing a new, luxurious experience," he said.

Businesses said demand for dining, entertainment and tourism services around the Saigon River area often spikes during major holidays.

Fireworks viewing activities in Ho Chi Minh City always have great attraction for locals and tourists.

According to the plan, Ho Chi Minh City will organize high-altitude fireworks displays at the beginning of the Saigon River tunnel (Thu Duc), two low-altitude displays at Dam Sen Cultural Park (District 11) and Van Phuc urban area (Thu Duc).

These places always attract a large number of people to come and admire the eye-catching light show at the moment of transition between the old year and the new year.
