Visitors to flower markets in some of Vietnam’s major cities during the Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday will be able to stay connected thanks to the free Wi-Fi service provided by a Ho Chi Minh City-based telecom firm.

Saigon Postel Corp said on Wednesday its S-wifi service would be available at flower markets in Hanoi, Can Tho, Nha Trang and Ho Chi Minh City throughout the holiday, which begins late next week.

In Hanoi, S-wifi will cover the flower markets on Lac Long Quan, Hang Luoc and Hoang Hoa Tham Streets, as well as the flower fairs on Quang Hoa, Quang Ba, and Nhat Tan.

In Ho Chi Minh City, flower markets will be held at such parks as Tao Dan, Gia Dinh, Le Thi Rieng and Le Van Tam, besides the Quoc Te Square, all of which will feature free Wi-Fi.

As for the iconic Nguyen Hue Flower Street, running from January 25 to 31, Saigon Postel Corp said it would install 15 Wi-Fi hotpots along the promenade.

In the coastal city of Nha Trang in south-central Vietnam, S-wifi will cover the beach-front Tran Phu Street and Yen Phi Park.

The flower markets at Ninh Kieu Wharf and Vo Van Tan and Hoang Van Thu Streets in the southern city of Can Tho will also have free Wi-Fi access.

Saigon Postel Corp began launching its S-wifi service at Tet flower markets in 2015 and has since got positive feedback from locals and tourists.

In the 2016 Tet, more than one million users got access to the Internet for free via S-wifi, the company said.

This year the firm has installed more hotpots and assigned personnel to respond timely to any technical problems.

S-wifi is now offered in 14 provinces across Vietnam, mostly at public places such as hospitals, schools and residential areas, with more than 12 million users.
