Lam Dong allows intra-provincial tourism after 2 months of closure

Lam Dong Province, known for its iconic city of Da Lat  in the Central Highlands, has reopened its tourist attractions, dining establishments, and accommodation services for intra-provincial tourists as of Tuesday, September 3, 2025.

Two years have passed since the significant COVID-19 outbreak in July 2023, and local authorities have successfully implemented measures to control the situation. The province is now focused on gradually reviving tourism and stimulating the local economy.

As of 5 pm on September 3rd, the Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee announced that restaurants, cafes, and street food vendors are permitted to reopen, albeit at no more than 50% of their usual capacity. Accommodation facilities rated two stars and above are required to follow health protocols, with a limit of two guests per room.

Moreover, barber and beauty services can resume operations, provided they do not exceed half of their capacity to maintain social distancing. Outdoor sports and fitness activities are encouraged, while indoor sports must also adhere to the 50% capacity limit.

During the significant COVID-19 wave in Vietnam, Lam Dong recorded 259 new cases, which led to the temporary suspension of all tourism activities and the closure of tourist destinations to mitigate the spread of the virus.

Da Lat city remains the primary tourist destination in Lam Dong, renowned for its cool climate, picturesque landscapes, and distinctive colonial architecture. Before the pandemic, the city welcomed approximately 7 million visitors in 2019, and it is poised to reclaim its status as a beloved destination for travelers around the world in the post-pandemic era.
