============================================

A two-month promotion, which offers Vietnamese guests half price room rates for the first night at some five-star hotels in Ho Chi Minh City, will run from the beginning of September, the city’s Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced August 28.

The six five-star hotels taking part in the promotion include the Windsor, Majestic, Rex, Renaissance Riverside, Caravelle and Sheraton.

According to Tao Van Nghe, chairman of HCMC Hotels Association, the hotels will present their discounts based on their operations and room capacity during the promotional period.
