HO CHI MINH CITY (Vietnam/News/ANN): Many booked tours to the northern provinces for the Tết (Lunar New Year) holiday have been postponed or changed amid the resurgence of Covid-19 infections in the area two weeks before the holiday, travel firms have said.

Tours to the northern provinces saw strong demand for the Tết holiday as visitors from the tropical south sought to experience cold weather in the north.
