Photo: Pan Pacific Hanoi Nowadays, the festival is the chance for people to relax and reunite with loved ones. Although the meaning of the holiday may have changed slightly, the quintessence of the festival remains the same. Just the chaos of life has slowly made us forget the thrill of this celebration and relegate it to a day only for children. For adults, the full moon during the Mid-Autumn festival often inspires a sense of nostalgia, the tendency to reminisce about the past under the pale moonlight.

Hence the shortage of trained staff in this segment is concerning, industry insiders say. Dao Manh Hung, Chairman of the Vietnam Tourism Education Association, said that in the first seven months of the year, the number of domestic tourists reached 71.8 million arrivals, exceeding the target of 60 million.
