Vietnam’s Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs has put forward a proposal that would see the Tet public holiday in 2025 run from Saturday January 25 to Sunday February 2, VN Express is reporting. This would be the first time in several years that the holiday has been bookended by weekends.
Notably, in 2024, the holiday ran from Thursday, February 8 to Wednesday, February 14 leaving just two days to be worked in the week, and in 2023 it ran from Friday January 20 to Thursday January 26, leaving just one working day left in the week. In this context, a continuous nine-day break would be a welcome change.
