After considering the two options, both of which will last seven days, the ministry considered the former is more suitable as people working away from home will have two days off to travel and prepare for the most significant holiday of the year.
Currently, the ministry is consulting with other ministries and relevant agencies until August 30 to decide on the plan of Tet break in September before summitting it to the prime minister for final approval.
Vietnamese people got a nine-day break for the last Tet that fell in February this year.
There has been a long-lasting debate on whether Vietnam should merge the Lunar New Year holidy with (solar) New Year fest, and the Tet holiday should be shortened as the country's productivity is low.
