- Tourism products of Da Lat city after the covid-19 epidemic focused on the Caring tourism model Health This is a product according to the survey assessment of tourists who are very interested after the epidemic
Market Segment Assessment
- Psychographic: international tourists require new products and services with outstanding local products, but Da Lat has few shopping centers, few typical products of the region, so
it does not attract many international visitors Mostly domestic tourists Da Lat city is a place that many domestic and foreign tourists mention every holiday and Tet
- Socio-economic characteristics: Most of the incomes of many tourists coming to Da Lat are at an average level, which is quite low compared to the expectations set With an income of 5 to less than 10 million dong/month, accounting for 47,8% Especially, international visitors to Da Lat come in the form of backpackers, their income and ability
to pay is lower than that of tourists traveling in the form of package tours Therefore, their payment level is not high, in many cases even lower than domestic customers

The survey results of visitors to Da Lat show that
- Visitors to Da Lat are mostly between the ages of 26 and 60 occupy 45,48%, working and financially self-sufficient but do not have time Therefore, often traveling to Da Lat on Tet holidays leads to overcrowding for hotels as well as accommodation in Da Lat
- In addition, tourists over 60 years old account for 20,73% This object is past the working age, so they are often proactive in terms of their financial time, they are also relatively abundant and are always ready to pay for resort services, health care and cure
- Visitors under the age of 18 The lowest is because most of these visitors come to Da Lat during the summer holidays
Therefore, domestic tourists coming to Da Lat have average and good income.

Section 5: RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Competitive assessment:
1 Evaluation on the basis of comparison with competitors
The aggregated results from the tourism data of Da Lat and Lao Cai are as follows
Table 1 Total number of visitors, revenue, expenditure level and average number of days of stay of visitors to Da Lat Lao Cai in the period 2016 - 2019
- About the total number of visitors The total number of visitors to Da Lat is higher than that of Lao Cai, but the number of international visitors to Da Lat is lower than that of Lao Cai, most of Da Lat is mainly domestic
- Tourism revenue, tourism revenue of Da Lat increased, but to a slight extent, tourism revenue of Lao Cai also increased, but increased more strongly than Da Lat
- The spending level of tourists in Lao Cai destination is higher than in Da Lat Why is there such a difference?
Because the fare paid for services and attractions of Lao Cai is higher than that of Da Lat, the service price in Da Lat is average, but because there are no typical shopping products of the region, the form of entertainment is also high less, so the spending of guests for Da Lat is less
- The average length of stay in both Da Lat and Lao Cai decreased and in the following years remained at a stable level
Trang 92 Evaluation on the supply side:
- Evaluate according to available tourism resources in Da Lat:
+ Natural tourism resources although Da Lat has a pleasant cool climate with fog, this attracts a lot of visitors to explore But this factor also brings disadvantages because Da Lat's climate is divided into 2 distinct seasons: rainy season and dry season The rainy season lasts from April to November every year, but most of Da Lat's sightseeing activities are conducted outdoors Therefore, in the rainy season is the low season because it is difficult to organize outdoor tours (climbing tours, river tours) In the dry season, the water level in rivers, waterfalls and lakes is dry, so it affects the river tour
+ Humanistic tourism resources Intangible culture (folk songs, festivals, traditional occupations ) is increasingly being lost and disappeared due to lack of preservation and promotion
+ Information technology many hotels still manage manual bookkeeping Not much access to information technology application in business management
+ Human resources: English communication ability of banking service staff is not good, so
it is difficult to consult as well as change money for tourists
3 Assessment from the demand side:
3.1 Level of satisfaction, dissatisfaction, complaints of tourists
From the collected survey results:
M c đ hài lòng, không hài lòng, phàn nàn c a du khách ứ ộ ủ

T m hài lòng ạ Không hài lòng
- Very satisfied accounted for 12.71%, satisfied accounted for 59.2%, temporarily satisfied accounted for 21.74% and unsatisfied accounted for 6.35%
The following is a more specific survey of tourist's satisfaction with services in Da Lat :
Table 2 Satisfaction level of tourists with services in Da Lat
Trang 10- From Table 2, we see that the NPS index for all services is negative except for sightseeing services, which proves that most of the services in Da Lat have not left a strong impression on visitors
Why is NPS for services mostly negative ?
We can see that Da Lat has not satisfied and has not created strong impressions in the hearts of tourists when coming here
- All services in Da Lat are still poor, not able to satisfy all visitors here, the satisfaction level of tourists about the services is negative, only temporary sightseeing service popular with tourists should be a positive number
- With food service: -16.39
+ About Dalat street food has not really satisfied tourists due to inadequate facilities and cramped and uncomfortable serving space; The issue of food hygiene and safety has not been enhanced, the staff and salespeople are not enthusiastic and have not met all the needs
of visitors as well as the service speed is still slow, many places are still in poor condition increase product prices for tourists
- About shopping service -32.89
+ Shopping service in Da Lat is disappointing to visitors because the quality of this service here is still too poor Shopping service has the second lowest NPS score after only entertainment services High-end shopping areas and concentrated shopping areas in Da Lat are rare and typical local souvenirs are not yet diverse, not satisfying the shopping needs of tourists when coming here, most of the stores
- Entertainment services have the lowest NPS (-35.23) of all services Because Da Lat is mainly a tourist resort, not focusing on entertainment, there are very few amusement parks for tourists Only a few places are accessible for entertainment such as cinemas cinestar, bars, discos, coffee shops
Trang 11- Accommodation services because the information technology system has not been applied much, still uses manual management methods, so guests are not very satisfied
In short, Da Lat has not really made an impression on tourists
