With 9 days off for Tet this year, it's the ideal time for you and your family to embark on an adventure to a new land for exploration and relaxation. However, to ensure your Tet travel goes smoothly without obstacles, make the preparation process meticulous and perfect with a few considerations.
5 tips for a perfect international trip during Tet holiday
1. Choose your destination wisely
Extended holidays provide an opportunity for many families and friend groups to organize trips. Therefore, to avoid crowds and increased prices during these days, it's advisable not to choose conventional tourist destinations for the Tet holiday. For instance, if you opt for a trip to Sa Pa, you'll encounter crowded mountain markets with people from all over the region, diminishing the excitement of exploring the highland culture.

Instead, pristine islands or lesser-known destinations are ideal choices during this time. You can also visit rural or midland areas where the whole family can rest in a stilt house, enjoy local dishes, and participate in the daily activities of the locals.
2. Pricing Considerations
During the Tet holiday, the travel demand surges, and recognizing this, travel companies, tourist attractions, dining places, and accommodations continuously raise prices while compromising on service quality. Therefore, choose a reputable travel company with guaranteed quality and reasonable prices.

If you plan to travel abroad, arrange your travel itinerary early to hunt for affordable airfares from airlines. The New Year period is chosen by airlines to launch numerous promotions to meet the travel demands of domestic tourists. Additionally, during the holiday, flights to famous tourist destinations in the region are often increased with various ticket price options. By researching information beforehand, you can organize your overseas trip with maximum cost savings.
2. Packing for the Journey
Depending on the destination and weather conditions, pack your luggage most efficiently. If booking a tour with a company, choose a suitcase with 4 wheels for easy handling. If traveling independently, opt for a backpack with wide straps for flexibility in various modes of transportation.

When undertaking Tet holiday trips, pack just enough, keeping it compact and check your luggage carefully. Check personal identification documents before the trip, such as ID cards, passports, and birth certificates for children. Additionally, having your own and your family members' medical prescriptions is essential for every trip.
3. Research and Book Hotel Rooms Early
This is one of the crucial secrets that significantly reduces your budget for the trip. Most hotels participate in online booking websites like Mytour… to assist travelers in convenient booking and payment, requiring less effort. However, due to the abundance of booking websites, you may face information overload, making it difficult to choose and decide. To simultaneously compare room prices from various hotel websites, you can use hotel price comparison software. These are effective tools that help travelers make decisions easily and save costs.
4. Dining on Tet Day

The Tet dishes in different regions are incredibly diverse, unique, and enticing, easily captivating anyone passionate about cuisine. However, to ensure the health of you and your family, be cautious with the food you buy, avoiding cases of purchasing spoiled or expired food. Drink bottled water or boiled water for safety. Prepare a small amount of dry food in case it's challenging to 'access' the local culinary culture.
5. Choose Appropriate Attire for Tet Travel
Tet is the ideal opportunity to fully enjoy relaxing moments with family and friends. Choosing suitable, comfortable, and easy-to-clean clothing is the key to making Tet travel days even more perfect.
For a trip combining sightseeing and Tet greetings, elegant and sophisticated outfits are a safe choice. In the Vietnamese belief, warm colors like red, yellow, orange,... are lucky colors, so vibrant-colored clothing contributes to a cheerful and lively atmosphere for the early days of the year.

For a pilgrimage trip during Tet with hopes for luck, peace, and happiness, choose neat, solemn, and modest attire. If it's a resort holiday combined with celebrating Tet in the highlands or on the islands, simply choose weather-appropriate, comfortable, simple, and tasteful clothing.
