Vinh - Bangkok flight route: Connecting tourism potential
(Baonghean) - On June 8, a new international flight route Vinh - Bangkok will be officially opened. This event marks another step in the development of aviation services in particular from Vinh Airport, and furthermore, the closer connection between Nghe An and Thailand - the Land of the Golden Pagoda.
The type of charter flight tourism is popular because it saves time, has good service and departs on schedule. Vietravel has focused on quickly - strongly - and simultaneously exploiting it in many provinces and cities across the country since the beginning of 2015. Up to now, Vietravel has continuously opened flight routes including: Ho Chi Minh City - Fukushima, Can Tho - Da Lat, Can Tho - Nha Trang, Can Tho - Bangkok, Hue - Bangkok, Da Nang - Bangkok, Nha Trang - Bangkok.
Opening the Vinh - Bangkok charter flight is inevitable, in the plan to launch a new pioneering product, meeting actual needs, helping the entire region of the three provinces of Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, and Ha Tinh exploit passengers.

Thailand is not only attractive because of its destinations but also because of its unique culture and friendly people. |
The reason Vietravel chose Thailand to connect is because this is the "land of smiles" with unique cultural, culinary and tourism products. Especially the capital Bangkok with its palaces, temples and bustling shopping centers, colorful culinary world; the coastal city of Pattaya - famous for its beautiful landscape and vibrant nightlife with countless attractive entertainment programs such as the unique Alcazar show...
In addition, Vietravel is currently the leading travel agency in Vietnam, bringing the most tourists to Thailand in recent years. Most recently in July 2015, Vietravel recorded a record of 13,886 tourists going on tours to Thailand. This shows the great potential as well as the attraction of Thai tourism products.

Besides the advantage of organizing charter tours to bring tourists to Thailand effectively; the Vinh - Bangkok flight route is designed based on the potential of Nghe An - a province with nearly 3 million people. The highlight is Vinh City in particular with about 480,000 people with many advantages for tourism development such as convenient location, high income of people and complete transport infrastructure system. This is also an attractive destination with beautiful historical, cultural and natural attractions.
Vietravel has conducted a survey and recorded promising initial results for the implementation of the direct flight tourism product Vinh - Bangkok (Thailand). This new product is expected to meet the current situation and the necessary need to diversify tourism products, save time and costs of traveling by road because it does not combine passengers from Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City.

The establishment of the Vinh - Bangkok flight route is not only significant for exploiting the tourism potential of both sides, but also a condition for Nghe An and Thailand to promote exchanges, cooperation and investment. Currently, Vietravel is completing preparations and coordinating with the Nghe An provincial government to promote the opening of the new Vinh - Bangkok flight route from June 2016 to welcome the summer tourist season of 2016 for tourists coming to Vietnam: family tourists, company groups and Thai and Lao tourists.
