According to an agent specialising in booking tours to Sapa, up to 80 percent of Sapa’s hotel rooms and homestays have been booked. However, room prices have kept quite stable, except for weekends when room prices are just a bit higher than on other days. The three-day and two-night tours have been sold the best.
Hoang Thi Vuong, head of Sapa’s Cultural and Information Board, said that Sapa is expected to welcome 120,000 visitors from December 20 to January 1, 2023.
The Sapa Snow Festival which started on December 23, included tours to see snow at Mount Fansipan.
Sapa will hold a ceremony for the first 120 first visitors to the locality on New Year's Day 2023. The figure symbolises the 120th anniversary of Sapa’s establishment.
