Trans-Viet motorbike tours turn on foreign travellers
Ha Noi (VNA) –Tour operators are revving up interest from international tourists with the latest craze in holiday itineries organised high-power motorbike tours.Most tourists turning to this type of tour are high-income earners, mainly from the US, Norway, the UK and Denmark, preferring to hit the road on their own terms, exploring Viet Nam’s must-see sights from Ho Chi Minh City to Nha Trang and Ha Long Bay instead of more restrictive, but more comfortable modern cars and luxury hotels, according to many domestic travel companies.
Phan Than, Director of the Vyta Tours Company – one of the first companies in HCM City to organise the trans-Viet motorbike tours, said it costs between 4,000-5000 USD for a 17-day trans-Viet package tour while a trans-Asia tour takes several months and can cost up to 30,000-40,000 USD.
But this wasn’t the only reason for rising popularity. Variety in scenery and the chance to get hands-on experience of the culture and daily life of local people were also driving factors, Than said.
However, tour operators have complained that getting tourists temporary driving licences is posing a major challenge.
Several companies in Ho Chi Minh City have started up this type of tour, Than said, adding that while demand is increasing, each company can only organise a handful of tours per year due to complicated diving licence procedures.
Vu The Binh, Director of the National Administration of Tourism’s Travel Department, said the simplification of procedures will pave the way for better conditions to get more tourists on this type of tour.-Enditem
