This is a product built by the Tourism Information Technology Center (Viet Nam National Authority of Tourism) based on the application of modern technology to solve the problem of managing and operating the ticket sales and control system at tourist areas and attractions. Previously, in the traditional way, tourist attractions often sold large, thick paper tickets, many places printed in colour, leading to high design and printing costs, and a large amount of torn tickets were discarded, affecting environmental sanitation. Tickets are usually purchased at the counter, staff tear tickets by hand, one ticket per person, queuing takes a long time during peak times. On the other hand, ticket sales and revenue from ticket sales are usually aggregated at the end of the day, leading to managers not having real-time data.

The "Online - Interconnected - Multimodal" electronic ticket system is completely different, expressed through the system's 3 important keywords:

“Online”: Support tourists, travel agencies, tour guides to book tickets online through the national tourism application “Vietnam Travel”;

“Interconnection”: Support tourist destinations to be able to link up to sell inter-route tickets, buy tickets once at one location and use them at many locations. Aiming to connect services: tourism, transportation, healthcare, banking, etc.

“Multimodal”: Tourists can use one of 3 different methods to use entrance tickets: Electronic tickets printed at the counter; Integrated tickets on the national tourism application “Vietnam Travel”; Integrated tickets on The Viet - National Travel Card.

In addition, with the group ticket feature, group tickets allow guests traveling in a group to use a single ticket for all members, instead of one ticket per person as in the traditional method.
