Saigontourist Travel Services Co. has just launched a special promotion program marking tour prices off around US$70 for all travelers in the Mekong Delta . . .

Under the program, people will be offered a discounted tour price of only US$279 per person compared to the normal price of US$349, an effort aimed to encourage more people there to travel, she said.

The discounted tours have been arranged to begin on January 13, 14, and 18 next year. For visitors who are not eligible for the program but want to travel together with their relatives who are targeted beneficiaries, preferential tour price of US$315 per person will apply, which is still lower than the normal price.

Saigontourist has operated a branch in Can Tho City since April in an effort to attract more tourists in the city and the whole region. Up to now, the branch has attracted nearly 3,000 people there to travel across the country and abroad.

“We have better business result than expected. The region is a big source of tourists and that’s why we need to launch promotion programs to encourage more people to travel,” Tra said.

Tourists in the Mekong Delta can buy the tour at Saigontourist – Can Tho at 104-106 Nguyen An Ninh Street in Can Tho City, or at the company’s headquarters at 49 Le Thanh Ton Street in HCMC’s District 1.
