The Sai Gon Railway Co. and the HCM City Travel Association (HTA) have joined hands with tourism authorities in Binh Thuan, Khanh Hoa, Phu Yen, and Binh Dinh to offer low-cost rail tours between the southern metro and these four south-central provinces.
Sai Gon Railway Co. will add a 44-seat coach to existing trains with free wi-fi, food and other facilities.
The tour price will be competitive since the HTA will get discounts from tourism service providers in these places.
HTA has tied up with airlines to offer discounted domestic tour packages for years.
In the first nine months of this year more than 100,000 travellers booked such tours.
