“By this time, I am very tired, very tired. If this situation lasts for a few more months, I don’t know if I can stand it.” That is the situation of Mr. Le Duong Minh (SN 1980, owner of Huy Hoang cruise ship, Ha Long city, Quang Ninh province) when sharing with PV VTC News about the miserable and exhausted situation of businesses and ship owners. Ha Long tourism after many outbreaks of COVID-19 disease, causing the tourism industry here to be temporarily “closed”. Looking at the man with a wrinkled shirt, a hard face, messy hair, deep eyes, no one would have thought that this was once a famous ship owner in Ha Long just nearly 2 years ago. Lazily, Anh Minh said, this whole year, his mind is always heavy, burdened with worries and doesn’t know how to remove it. In one day, he had to sink into thought for a few hours, almost shocked and really pressured by having to take care of the expenses but the revenue was not available, the epidemic kept coming from time to time. “I’m very exhausted and almost exhausted right now,” Minh said choked. 3 cruise ships of Mr. Le Duong Minh’s family are now moored, lying dormant at the international passenger port of Ha Long without knowing when they will return to operation. Sell ​​clean to pay bank interest Mr. Le Duong Minh said, more than 20 years ago, he moved from his hometown in An Lao district (Hai Phong) to Quang Ninh to find a job, started washing dishes, carrying calves, and then fell in love with a career as a tourist service for tourists. Cruise ship owner in Ha Long. More than 10 years ago, he and his relatives contributed capital to buy cruise ships to run their own business. From the time of contributing half of the ship to a ship, so far, Minh’s family has had 3 cruise ships, including 1 wooden ship and 2 newly built steel hull ships. How much profit has accumulated so far, Minh’s family uses to reinvest in new steel hull ships. According to Mr. Minh, each new steel hull ship is about 7 billion VND, he has to borrow up to 5 billion VND. In early 2020, his family built 2 new ships, so he had to borrow 10 billion from the bank. Since then, every month Mr. Minh has to pay 100 million VND. However, before carrying any passengers, the COVID-19 epidemic suddenly appeared and continued to break out from time to time. Until now, we have been traveling, we never thought that the epidemic would last forever and be so terrible. Mr. Le Duong Minh – Ha Long cruise ship owner “Since the day of the epidemic, I have to borrow money to fight. I expect that if there is no epidemic, 3 normal ships will also earn about 150 million per month, enough to pay bank interest and also have a savings. If you don’t work now, you won’t get anything to make up for that profit. Until now, we have been traveling, we never thought that the epidemic would last forever and be so terrible. In the past, there was a SARS epidemic, it only lasted 3-4 months, and businesses stopped operating for a short time, then revived and developed steadily. But this epidemic lasted from the beginning of 2020 until now, we are out of breath.” Minh said sadly. From the beginning of 2022 until now, Minh’s monthly revenue is just zero. Meanwhile, bank interest is still payable, principal is not yet payable. In addition, they still have to pay money to hire workers to look after, maintain, operate the machine, electricity, water … “Now that I have no income, I have to borrow money. I borrowed from relatives, brothers, even sold something to get money to pay bank interest and expenses. If the epidemic is under control in 1-2 months, I will still have the opportunity to run a full-time train to earn a living and pay salaries to employees, raise my wife and children, otherwise I don’t know how.” Minh said. Running out of resources to borrow, ship owners exhausted, employees losing their jobs Sad when it comes to financial resources, Mr. Minh said that because he had no income, he had long been in a new situation of taking out a new loan to pay the old interest, leading to debt stacking, interest on top of interest, even having to borrow high interest rates. to pay low interest. “A lot of expenses, bro! Every month, you also have to borrow up to 60 million to pay interest, but from February 2020 until now, you know how much it is. In addition, each month has to maintain 1 employee for each ship, to pay salaries and meals for them has already lost 8 million, plus maintenance, operation and maintenance costs … Every 5-6 months, the ships have to be put on board for maintenance, scrubbing, repainting the hull… twice a year, costing 100 million. So, my family has 3 ships and it takes another 300 million. Due to having to borrow money from a shipbuilding bank, ship owners have to buy insurance for the loan, and each year they have to spend about 25 million money to buy insurance. If the epidemic continues from this year to next year without stopping, I really don’t have the strength to reinvest anymore.” Minh is sad. Next to Tuan Chau international passenger ship port, hundreds of cruise ships are lying motionless. Also since the COVID-19 epidemic raged, most of the employees who used to work for the ship had to find jobs by themselves to maintain their lives. Some people go to help build, others go to the market to trade errands to get through the day. “The big owner ‘died’ big, the small owner ‘died’ small. Just like myself, 3 supporting ships from last year to now, the damage is also about 2 billion. Sometimes the wife and children do not dare to eat, do not dare to wear, just worry about money for the staff to eat, look after and maintain the ships waiting for them to return to operation.” Minh said. The ships that sleep at night with tens of billions are also lying in the lock on the side of Ha Long Bay. According to Mr. Minh, if the situation of the COVID-19 epidemic continues like this, his family will only last 3-4 months. If the bank pressed too hard at that time, his family would borrow money from one place to another. “Unfortunately, I have already borrowed a lot, so there may not be another place to borrow. Maybe you have to accept the risk, borrow more high interest outside to support. Because no one buys ships now, people buy them to carry tourists, not buy them to park. Cruise ships are now almost frozen and no longer trading.” Minh commented. Now, no one buys ships even if they sell them, people buy them to carry tourists, not buy them to park. Mr. Le Duong Minh – Ha Long cruise ship owner Minh said that he, like most other ship owners, wants the bank to accompany businesses and cruise ship business households to have a debt freeze and debt extension policy, so that ship owners and businesses can strength to endure and when tourism is restored, they will repay the bank. Up to this point, according to Mr. Minh, many ship owners not only pledge assets such as houses and cars, but also have to sell them to have money to continue. “Nearly 100% of ship owners have bank loans, if this time “collapses” is to collapse, there will be a series of ship owners facing bad debts, debt squeeze… policy support from the bank and the State” , Minh predicted.

After many months of closing due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, Ha Long tourism is gradually recovering to reopen its doors. A series of tourism stimulus packages have been activated by Quang Ninh province with the desire to welcome about 10 million visitors this year, but the number of visitors coming to Ha Long is still moderate and showing signs of slack. Present at Ha Long International Passenger Port on the morning of April 10, the reporter Tien Phong noted the deserted and lonely images at this port. Inside, the ticketing area is not for tourists, just whispering loudly and loudly by the free staff to chat. At the pier, hundreds of cruise ships are lying dormant by the wharf These are rare images of Ha Long tourism before the pandemic occurs “We are dying, dying to wait for customers. Not running the train, but we still have to operate, repair and maintain the ship. Bank interest is still payable every month. Rice still has to eat but tau cannot run”, said a ship owner anchored at the port boredly Ha Long international passenger ship port is good on weekends (April 10). In particular, many moored ships are deteriorating due to not being operated and maintained periodically On the shore, the restaurant is closed, there is no longer the bustle and excitement of the busiest neighborhood in Ha Long At 8:00 am on weekends, there are no passersby on Ha Long and Bai Chay streets Ha Long Sun World, the best entertainment area, only holds a few hundred guests Restaurants and eateries also reopened, but only shop owners and staff wait for customers Tuan Chau international passenger ship is in the same situation. The yard is only full of private cars, of which more than half are cars of staff working at the port Train owners and ticket brokers gather and chat in the waiting room area The instructor dejectedly sat with her face down on the desk At the wharf, a group of tourists took the highway to Co To. The boat visiting the bay was still damp because there were no visitors.

On this occasion, the hotel increased 20% of the room rate, but guests still booked early. According to Ms. Huong, 4-star hotels in Sa Pa with central locations almost have no existing rooms. Most guests book early to avoid running out of rooms, pushing prices up. “My side has about 60 rooms, so it ends very soon. Hotels with a capacity of 200 rooms are still available but generally few. Guests should book early because if booked close, the price is high, there is no room”, Ms. Huong shared . Pictures of tourists flock to Sa Pa during the New Year. Photo: Thach Thao. As of the afternoon of April 9, the 5-star Pao’s Sapa Leisure hotel has run out of about 70% of the rooms for the occasion of April 30, 1/5. This hotel has a holiday surcharge of 700,000-1 million VND. Mr. Cao Van Thang, hotel representative, said guests have been booked since March 20. Most visitors still choose the normal rooms first. Some high-end rooms are still empty. However, Mr. Thang predicts that all hotel rooms will be sold out by April 20. Share with Zing Mr. Pham Cao Vy, Chairman of Sa Pa Tourism Association, said that the occupancy in Sa Pa is now more than the previous year, meeting the high demand of tourists. “However, tourists need to book early, avoid to close the date,” he said. However, some hotels and motels have price increases on peak occasions. According to Mr. Vy, most hotels in the association had a negligible increase. Many hotels have already started running out of rooms on OTA sites. Screenshots. Surveying more on online booking sites, the reporter found that 3-5 star hotels still have few options. The price for 2 nights (April 29-1 / 5) for a room of 2 people falls between 1.5-2.5 million VND (3 stars) and 3-10 million VND (4-5 stars). Not only retail customers, many tour / combo companies are also trying to “fire alarm”. Mr. Bui Thanh Tu, Marketing Director of Best Price, confirmed that they have already closed about 60% of the tours and combos to Sapa. Expected, the remaining 40% will be filled from April 20. “We will expand more space if the epidemic is under control as at present.

Representatives of Best Price analyzed couples who tend to choose 3-star hotels. Family guests prefer 4-5 star hotels.

Some promising spots are also crowded in the upcoming holidays are Ha Long (Quang Ninh), Cat Ba (Hai Phong), Moc Chau (Son La) …

Where there is promotion and discount policy, the number of tourists, where there is no one, is a reality in this tourist land. At Hon Gai international passenger ship port, the cruise ship fleet was anchored dormant, with no sign of returning to operation. The port is considered to be large and qualified, but the number of statues of ships is anchored tightly because there are no passengers. To reduce costs, many boat owners share money to hire a custodian. Better yet, Tuan Chau international cruise ship port today welcomed nearly 100 tourists, mainly Hanoi and neighboring provinces. Here, from 9am to the beginning of the afternoon, a number of families and groups of tourists come to the port and buy tickets to arrange a graft boat trip. Only a few cruise ships depart for tourists to visit lines 1 and 2. According to the management board of Ha Long Bay, since March 6 when Quang Ninh’s tourist attractions are active again, the peak day also only about 500 guests, on weekdays it is about 100 guests. Revenue from the sale of travel tickets to Ha Long Bay since the beginning of the year has not reached 3 billion VND. Due to the small number of passengers, most boat owners choose to leave the boat at the pier because it is very costly to operate a ship. On the other hand, the number of service staff on board had previously resigned and changed jobs, so it was difficult to call back to work. Human resources serving on board are currently also a difficult problem for Quang Ninh tourism. Also in Sun Park, although in the time of preferential prices, but on the weekends, visitors are just accompanying their families here to have fun. Some shops in the old town area are also scrambling to clean up for resale. “My restaurant has just reopened for a few days, even a large restaurant like this but only has 4 staff working to reduce costs, from morning until now my restaurant has only 1 guest table”, Ms. Nguyen Thi Duong (owner of Hai Duong restaurant, Vuon Dao street) said boredly. According to the director of the Department of Tourism of Quang Ninh Pham Ngoc Thuy, since the outbreak of Covid-19 has resurfaced, most tourists have a psychology of fear so they are still not assured to travel. With this mentality, instead of choosing Quang Ninh, tourists change direction. “Travel companies need to have combo packages, reduce prices to the level where people can spend the cost to visit, also from here, must rebuild demand stimulus programs, step by step influencing psychology for everyone to visit. people know that Quang Ninh is now a safe destination, “said Thuy. Some pictures at tourist spots in Ha Long city “. Hon Gai international passenger ship port is no longer bustling The waiting area in the station was sprawled with a few people The cruise ship is anchored in the wharf area No more crowded tourists on board Most boat owners choose to moor because operating a ship takes a lot of money Many ship owners share money to hire 1 ship keeper Tuan Chau international cruise ship port terminal has a similar fate Visitors take the grafted train to have enough seats on 1 train Strabismus visitors to the Sun Park on weekends People are still getting their temperature before entering the play area People clean up the shop to prepare to welcome guests The restaurant staff at Vuon Dao Street played all day because there were no customers

But the decision is a bit late, so the selection of hotel rooms is limited. Ms. Giang said that 3-4 star hotels are in the central location, convenient to the sea, almost full of rooms, after many phone calls to ask for rooms, Ms. Giang decided to stay in a hotel slightly far from the sea.

Not only Ms. Giang, up to this point, many families planning to travel on the next 30/4 holiday said that it is a bit difficult to book a hotel room because of the beautiful locations, near the center. The number of guests has booked almost.

In which, Phu Quoc, Quy Nhon, Ha Long … are the places chosen by many tourists.

According to Mr. Quy, up to now, the number of retail customers booking tours at the company has reached over 80% of the plan. Compared to the time before the translation, the number of visitors is now about 50%.

“4-star hotels in Phu Quoc, Quy Nhon, Nha Trang, Da Nang … most of their rooms were sold out during the holidays of April 30 and May 1. At this time, new guests booking to travel during the holiday season will no longer have the opportunity to use the service because there is no room. Guests can only choose another day, deviate from the holidays, ”Mr. Quy said.

Tourists traveling on the occasion of April 30 to May 1 rumble, many places run out of hotel rooms.

According to this director, with the current growth momentum and if from now until the summer time, students are allowed to leave school, no matter how much it affects the movement of tourists, domestic tourism. will recover about 80-90%.

The rate of tourists booking tours for the holidays of April 30 at Vietravel as of April 14 is about 80% of the plan, Ms. Le Hong Viet Thao, Department of Communication – Marketing (Vietravel Tourism Company) said, The tourism situation since the beginning of March has flourished and has been bustling again.

Expected holiday this year, Vietravel will serve about 15,000 retail passengers with the most selected destinations such as Sapa, Ha Long, Phu Quoc, Da Nang, Da Lat ”, Ms. Thao informed.

Also according to Ms. Thao, this year’s tour prices are quite good compared to previous years because service providers, transportation, and attractions all join hands with tour operators to offer stimulus prices.

Guests who book combo usually only include airline tickets and hotels, and travel and dining schedules are self-planning for themselves.

Before the news that many hotels had ‘burned’ rooms for the holidays of April 30 and May 1, Ms. Thao said that normally, travel agencies had to plan hotel and restaurant reservations many months ago. Therefore, at the peak time, when the retail customers call the hotel to book directly, they often will not be there because the hotel always gives priority to room funds for travel agencies.

Therefore, at peak, when customers want to use the service, they can still book through travel agencies, there is still room fund in the hotel.
