On Bui Vien Street (District 1), the vibrant vibe of Saigon’s busiest entertainment street at night gradually returned as the restaurant lights up, staff replenish tables and chairs, prepare drinks … welcome diners.
However, the bar’s owners predict that the number of visitors is only moderate because people’s psychology still fears the epidemic and tourists have not yet returned to Vietnam.
Kingdom Marketing Director Ta Quang Hung said the two bars and pubs for this business in Bui Vien (District 1) and Le Van Sy (Tan Binh District) were back in business on the evening of July 7. 9.
According to Hung, the reopening is the “illusion” of companies because it will solve the problem of costs for companies in the current difficult context. However, only half of the employees have mobilized compared to before because the number of returning visitors is not as crowded as before.
According to Hung, not only will the number of visitors to the store decrease, but it will also decrease customer spending, so the company has to launch a lot of promotions to find customers.
