The figure represents a surge of 755 percent over the same period in 2020 and 225 percent over 2021, it reported, adding that revenue from tourism during the four-day holiday (from April 30 to May 3) reached 295 billion VND (12.84 million USD).

During the holiday, Sa Pa organized nine cultural-tourism events, including a street carnival to lure visitors.

Home to Mount Fansipan, the highest peak in Indochina, with cool weather throughout the year, Sa Pa has long been a popular destination for domestic and foreign tourists. The inauguration of Hanoi-Lao Cai expressway and the operation of Sun World Fansipan Legend have made Sa Pa tourism boom in recent years.
