Seoul – Vietnam’s
aviation and tourism were promoted at a workshop themed “Rediscover Vietnam” in
Seoul, the Republic of Korea (RoK), on June 9.

Addressing over 80 representatives of
Korean organisations, tourism companies, and partners, Ambassador
Nguyen Vu Tung said Vietnam is a safe and attractive destination for
international tourists after it removed all restrictions on foreign visitors.

As all barriers were lifted, tourism
is a highly potential field for cooperation between Vietnam and the RoK, he
said, perceiving that with efforts to improve service quality and open new
tours, Vietnam will soon welcome 4.3 million Korean visitors like in the
pre-pandemic period, and the number of Vietnamese tourists to the Northeast
Asian country will also return to pre-pandemic levels in a short period of
time.

Ryu Chang-ho, CEO of Hana Tour – the
largest travel firm in the RoK, said Vietnam is one of the favourite destinations
of Korean people, who often choose its coastal places such as Da Nang, Nha
Trang and Ha Long to spend their holidays with their families.

Recommending Vietnam widely publicise
information about anti-pandemic measures to facilitate tourism promotion and
tour opening, he noted as both the quantity and frequency of international
flights are gradually being resumed, Hana Tour is launching many attractive
tours to Da Nang, Phu Quoc, and many other destinations of Vietnam this June.

Jin Kyoung-wook from Mode Tour also
pointed to the need for more pandemic safety information from Vietnam so that
Korean tourists can comfortably choose the Southeast Asian nation for their
holidays.

European tours have been fully booked
but trips to Southeast Asia have yet to recover as expected despite close
proximity and reasonable prices. Given this, it is necessary to advertise
Vietnam as a safe destination free of COVID-19 dangers more strongly, according
to Jin.

“Rediscover Vietnam” was part of a
series of activities held by Vietnam Airlines to attract Korean tourists to the
country.

The national flag carrier is
operating four routes to the RoK, namely Seoul – Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and
Da Nang, together with Pusan – Hanoi. It will reopen Seoul – Nha Trang and
Pusan – HCM City flights in July./.

Domestic tourism enjoying strong recovery

According to the Vietnam Tourism Association, a year after Vietnam’s economy reopened after the COVID-19 pandemic, about 90% of hotels and accommodation providers and 70% of food service establishments and transport companies have resumed operations.

Domestic tourists are busy traveling from North to South.

Travel demand appears to have exploded.

Most Vietnamese are choosing to holiday in Vietnam. 

Authorities and tourism businesses took the initiative in building a strategy to attract tourists as soon as the pandemic was under control. A number of large-scale cultural and tourism events have been held since the end of last year. 

Catering to over 100 million tourists last year, the domestic tourism sector has been a lifesaver for the industry. Rising domestic tourism has led to strong growth in transportation, warehousing, food and beverages, and wholesale and retail, and is gradually returning to pre-pandemic levels./.

HCM City – Vietjet will operate the first
air route connecting Vietnam with Australia’s Queensland state in June, the
airline announced on March 16.

Accordingly, the leading Vietnamese new-age carrier will
operate twice weekly services between Ho Chi Minh City’s Tan Son Nhat
International Airport and Brisbane Airport (BNE) by modern wide-body aircraft,
starting June 16.

The flights are expected to bring more than 30,000 Vietnamese visitors
in Brisbane, generating 25.6 million AUD (17 million USD) for Queensland’s
economy, and creating 240 jobs for the state, during the first year of
operation.

The flights to Brisbane will take off from Ho Chi Minh City every
Monday and Friday at 10:05 (local time) and land at Brisbane at 21:10 (local
time). The return flights will depart at 23:10 (local time) every Monday and
Friday and land at Vietnam’s largest city at 04:50 the following day
(local time).

Brisbane Airport Corporation Chief Executive Officer
Gert-Jan de Graaff said that Vietnam is a rapidly growing market for Queensland. Non-stop flights between  Vietnam and the Australian state will bring about benefits for both countries.

Vietjet Deputy General Director Nguyen Thanh Son said that adding
Brisbane to the airline’s list of destinations will be another development step to
broadly connect Australia and Vietnam.

Vietjet operates around 450 flights daily on 160 routes
connecting Vietnam and Asian and European countries./.
