6. Traveling during Tet 2024 with family - what to consider?
If you're traveling with a group of young friends, you only need to focus on an itinerary filled with fun activities, but when traveling with a larger family, there are more considerations. Mytour provides you with some basic tips to ensure your family trip during Tet is enjoyable and complete:

- Remote destinations with limited services: While natural landscapes may be beautiful and refreshing, destinations with limited accommodation options (no hotels, few homestays) can be challenging when traveling with babies or elderly individuals.
- Prepare adequate luggage: Not overly cumbersome but include essential medications (for stomachaches, fever, insect repellent), weather-appropriate clothing, as well as payment cards or cash for any unexpected expenses.
