Vietnam transport and security prep for National Day

Overview

Vietnam is preparing for a five-day National Day holiday from August 29 to September 2, 2026, with significant activity across the transportation, tourism, and energy sectors. Domestic airfares have recently experienced a notable decrease, while the self-drive car rental market is seeing a surge in demand for SUVs and MPVs in Ho Chi Minh City. To manage the holiday surge, the railway sector is adding 37 extra train trips, and major airports expect high passenger volumes.

To ensure energy security, the Department of Domestic Market Management has issued directive No. 2833/TTTN-XD, requiring petroleum producers, wholesalers, and distributors to proactively manage supply and increase reserves. Following these preparations, Vietnam Electricity (EVN) and its subsidiaries, including EVNGENCO3, implemented measures to ensure a stable electricity supply throughout the holiday. EVN prioritized electricity for political and cultural activities and prohibited planned power outages, except for emergency repairs. EVNGENCO3 reported a total electricity output of 336.44 million kWh during the period, with a peak capacity of 3,904 MW recorded on August 30.

Security measures have expanded to the provincial level. In Phu Tho, police are working with businesses in the Cam Khe Industrial Park to protect assets and information systems, while urging companies to ensure timely wage and bonus payments. In Nghe An, the Provincial People's Committee has tasked authorities with preventing terrorism, sabotage, and social disorder. As the holiday begins, heavy traffic congestion has been reported, with queues stretching nearly 10km at the An Phu intersection and along the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay expressway. Authorities have also issued warnings regarding sophisticated online booking scams targeting holiday travelers.
