Hanoi launches rail promotions to stimulate domestic travel
Hanoi's train operator offered various promotions and discounts on rail tickets to travel agencies and foreign travelers to promote tourism post-COVID-19.
Due to COVID-19, in the first five months of 2020, Haraco’s railway transport volume only reached 32% compared to the same period last year. To overcome difficulties and restore domestic travel nationwide, Haraco has cooperated with the UNESCO Hanoi Travel Club and travel agencies to build train tours to tourist sites in Quang Binh, Hue, Da Nang, Vinh, and Lao Cai, as well as other tourist destinations connected by railway.
Accordingly, Haraco has launched a promotional program of up to 25% off ticket prices for groups from five people and more; tour operators purchasing more than 300 tickets per month will enjoy a 3% discount on tickets, said the hanoitimes.
