Vietnam’s Lunar New Year Policies: Preserving Cultural Heritage

Uncle Ba, the owner of a small transportation business in Ha Dong, eagerly anticipates Tet, the Lunar New Year. Despite the year-end rush, he decorates his home, prepares the traditional five-fruit tray, and cooks the fragrant Banh Chung (sticky rice cake). “Tet is a time for family reunions, to reflect on our cherished traditions,” he shares. Indeed, Vietnam’s policies regarding Tet demonstrate a deep commitment to the people’s spiritual well-being, preserving and promoting the nation’s cultural identity.

The Significance of Tet Policies

Vietnam’s Tet policies go beyond simply mandating holidays. They affirm the importance of cultural traditions in modern life.

Preserving and Promoting Cultural Identity

Tet is an occasion for Vietnamese people to show respect to their ancestors, express gratitude to their elders, and pray for a prosperous new year. Traditional activities like making Banh Chung, calligraphy writing, and exchanging New Year’s greetings are preserved and promoted, creating a joyous and vibrant atmosphere.

Boosting Socio-Economic Development

The Tet holiday allows workers to rest and recharge after a year of hard work. The increased demand for shopping and travel during Tet also stimulates production, business, and service activities, driving socio-economic development.

Key Regulations for Tet

Vietnam’s Tet policies are clearly reflected in specific regulations:

Holiday Duration

Current regulations guarantee workers at least a five-day Tet holiday, including official holidays and compensatory days off. This ensures ample time for family gatherings, cultural activities, and relaxation.

Worker Support

To ensure a worry-free Tet for workers, the government provides support such as salary payments, Tet bonuses, and organized transportation for workers returning to their hometowns.

Ensuring Public Order and Traffic Safety

During Tet, authorities increase security measures to maintain public order, traffic safety, and fire prevention, contributing to a safe and healthy holiday for everyone.

Choosing the Right Truck for Your Business During Tet

The increased demand for goods transportation during Tet often leaves businesses scrambling for efficient solutions. Here are some suggestions for choosing the right truck:

• 1-ton and 2-ton light trucks: Suitable for inner-city travel and transporting small loads, easily navigating narrow streets.
• 3.5-ton box trucks: An optimal choice for diverse cargo needs, offering flexible transportation within and outside the city.
• 8-ton trucks: Capable of transporting large loads, meeting the demands of long-distance and inter-provincial transportation.
