My family did not intend to go out on April 30 because we only had two days off. But when we saw the proposal to swap working days to have five consecutive days off, we might go somewhere. However, I was afraid that it was too late to book services through travel companies, going on our own was expensive and I did not know where to choose a suitable place to have a comfortable trip.

VnExpress readers, please advise and suggest suitable destinations and trips. I am in Hanoi.

If the proposal to swap working days to get 5 consecutive days off on April 30 is approved, you can absolutely choose suitable travel services for yourself and your family, at reasonable prices.

Ms. Tran Thi Bao Thu, Director of Communications and Marketing of Vietluxtour, said that tourism businesses have all made plans to serve customers. This is a favorable opportunity for service businesses, including tourism. Families can also take advantage of the time to let their children rest before the end-of-year exams.

Overseas tours will be more popular if there is a 5-day break. In addition, this time can be chosen for team building activities, because the price is better than the summer peak.

Ms. Thu also commented that "there is no overload this time" because the demand is divided equally between domestic and international. However, to have a quality trip at a good price, tourists should still book services early, choose departure and end times of the tour at different times to get a better price. It is recommended to book through reputable travel companies to ensure quality.

If you travel independently, you can absolutely do it if you have a detailed plan and prepare in advance. The advantage of independent travel is being proactive, especially in terms of departure and arrival times, trip duration and means of transport.

"For backpacking, you should go nearby. If you are in Hanoi, you should choose a 2-3 day trip, within 300 km such as Mai Chau, Moc Chau, Ba Be Lake, Cao Bang or coastal areas such as Thanh Hoa, Nghe An. In addition, you should carefully research people who have gone before, and reviews on the Internet about the destination as well as the services to have a suitable trip," Ms. Thu Ha (Hanoi), who often plans her family's trips, suggested.
