Travel tips for summer 2021 in the new normal
With the development of mass media, most people are aware that the current epidemic situation in the country is complex, and not every place is suitable for travel. Therefore, keep updating news regularly before planning your summer 2021 travel, and remember to pocket the following useful tips:
Choose quality hotels, guesthouses
To minimize the risk of disease transmission, when choosing accommodation anywhere, prioritize hotels, guesthouses with moderate occupancy. However, quality and reputation should also be the top priorities for the most comfortable and perfect trip.
A great suggestion for you is to choose resorts with private rooms, spacious and comfortable. Although the price of this type of accommodation is relatively high, it ensures a higher level of safety for yourself and your family.
Furthermore, if you don't have enough resources, you can prioritize newly opened hotels, guesthouses with small to medium scales.
Carry all necessary items
Even when traveling to safe places with no reported cases, you still need to comply with regulations such as wearing masks in public places and frequently sanitizing hands as instructed by the Ministry of Health. Therefore, pack plenty of standard masks and good antibacterial hand wash in your luggage.
When visiting coastal areas in summer, sunscreen, hats, protective clothing... are always essential items.

Stay updated with daily news
The epidemic situation across the country is undergoing many changes. Today, the place you choose to visit may be safe, but it may not be the same in the summer, still providing conditions for travel. This is why you should update information, the epidemic situation every day to change plans in a timely manner, avoiding endangering yourself, your family, and society.
Moreover, install the Bluezone app to protect yourself and your loved ones in the safest way possible amidst the complex Covid-19 pandemic.
Prioritize visiting places beyond the 'Top hot' list
Maintaining distance is emphasized by the media every day, and you should adhere to it even while traveling. This habit helps minimize the risk of infection and contributes to the state's epidemic prevention efforts.

Consider booking flight tickets
For traveling by bus, if you can't follow the planned schedule, the amount you spend is not a big concern, ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 VND per person. However, if you choose to travel by plane, you should consider the timing of booking tickets, book early to get cheap tickets and good seats.
However, people should also consider the epidemic situation, as unexpected changes cannot be predicted, so it's best to buy plane tickets about 10-14 days before the trip. In addition, in case of traveling in groups of 10 or more, it's advisable to book plane tickets earlier, around 20 days in advance. Also, make sure to provide accurate information for each person so that any changes can be easily and quickly managed.
