Vietnam gains popularity among Russian tourists
VOV.VN - According to online newspaper Russian Travel Digest (Russtd), despite the lack of direct flights to Vietnam, sales of tours to the country for the end of autumn and the New Year holidays have increased significantly compared to last year.
Fun&Sun, one of the leading travel companies in Russia, recently launched a flight programme to Cam Ranh in the southcentral province of Khanh Hoa with a stopover in Almaty, Kazakhstan, on Scat Airlines flights. As the company noted, the number of passengers on the first flights are at almost 80% of capacity.
“Demand is approximately at the level of 2022, but for the New Year, of course, it is higher. Tourists mostly request tours from 9 to 16 nights. The top 3 resorts include Nha Trang, Mui Ne and Phan Thiet, the same as a year ago,” the company said.
Fun&Sun also revealed that it sent approximately 3,000 Russian tourists to Vietnam last winter season.
Meanwhile, Russian Express shared that its sales of tours to Vietnam have increased by 30% compared to last year.
Russtd noted that tourists from this market tend to head to several resorts located throughout the southern region in the lead up to New Year celebrations.
