Happy birthday tours

      Fiditour, a travel company that has its 20th anniversary this week, is celebrating the birthday with a travel discount program on both inbound and outbound tours.
From Ho Chi Minh City, tours of Da Nang to Hoi An, Hue, Phong Nha and Truong Son Trail (National Highway 1B), lasting three to five days from March 25-27, have prices cut by VND200,000-400,000 (US$11.50-23). They will now cost between VND4.3-5.4 million ($247-310).
Similarly, tours from HCMC to the central region’s world heritage sites (Hoi An Ancient Town, My Son Historical Relic, Hue Ancient Citadel, and Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park) along with the Truong Son Trail, lasting three to five days, will now cost about VND2.7-4 million ($155-230).
Three to five day tours of the northern region, covering Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Tuan Chau, Yen Tu, Huong Pagoda, Ninh Binh and Sa Pa will cost about VND4-6 million ($230-345).
On the tours of the central and northern regions, customers will travel by air on some sections. Fiditour will give them a discount of VND1.6-3 million ($92-172) per tour because Vietnam Airlines has committed to cutting air tickets for the company’s clients until September. This helps customers save 32-40 percent of the price.
All the prices include travel, accommodation and food.
For its outbound tours Fiditour will cut prices by $30-200 because foreign airlines have reduced airfares and taxes to attract tourists. A six-day tour of Thailand is priced at only $170. A seven-day tour of Japan or Japan-South Korea in April costs about $2,300, and a four-day tour of Beijing is just $380.
Fiditour’s discounts do not apply to tours taken on public holidays.
The company will also give its customers gifts for a month beginning March 25, in particular birthday presents for those born between March 25 and May 25.
