Tet, the vibrant Vietnamese New Year, is a celebration deeply rooted in tradition and rich cultural significance. Marking the arrival of spring, Tet is a time of renewal, family reunions, and paying respects to ancestors. In 2024, Tet coincides with the Year of the Dragon, a symbol of strength, good fortune, and transformation in the Vietnamese zodiac. The festivities typically span several days, with homes adorned in colorful decorations, traditional ceremonies, and the sharing of special Tet delicacies. As families gather, they exchange well-wishes, express gratitude, and engage in rituals to welcome prosperity and good luck into the coming year.
Wellness-inspired hotel brand Fusion is ready to welcome the Year of the Dragon, as its luxury resorts and hotels in Vietnam unveil a host of family-fun activities to celebrate Tet.
