Phu Bai Airport suspended operations from March 20 for runway and terminal repairs. During the closure, the cost of tours to Hue increased as travel companies had to incur additional expenses for renting vehicles from Da Nang to Hue.

The program includes direct incentives for tourists such as room discounts, additional services, and extra sightseeing points when purchasing tickets to visit historical sites or attending free traditional music performances.
