Tet often sees millions of migrant workers from major cities and industrial hubs return to their homes for family reunions before Lunar New Year's Eve. It also prompts holiday-goers to flock to tourist hotspots.
The festival is celebrated by several other Asian communities around the world.
The PM also approved a four-day break for next year’s National Day, from Aug. 31 to Sept. 3, 2024.
Vietnam has 11 official days off for holidays and festivals a year. Foreigners working in Vietnam get an extra day off for their traditional New Year holiday, and another day off for their countries' National Day holiday.
