Jetstar Pacific promotes opening new flight routes

Regarding the Vinh - Nha Trang route in particular, according to travel agencies, the demand for tourists from the North Central region to travel to Nha Trang is very high, however, because of the inconvenient means of transportation, the increase in tours is somewhat limited. Now that the new route has a reasonable price, the tour price will decrease, and the number of tourists will certainly increase...

According to a survey by the Department of Transport, the travel demand of Nghe An people to Khanh Hoa is quite high. In 2014 alone, there were 11,425 tourists; 8,500 passengers traveling by rail; and 31,000 passengers traveling by fixed-route buses per year. It is expected that the number of passengers traveling by private and official vehicles will reach 7,000 passengers per year. This does not include the number of passengers from Thanh Hoa and Ha Tinh provinces traveling to Khanh Hoa. “Nghe An and Khanh Hoa provinces are cultural, tourism and economic centers of the regions. Opening the air route will promote the strengths and economic, tourism, cultural and social potential of the two provinces. Currently, tourism companies in the area have implemented tourism programs between Nghe An and Khanh Hoa and vice versa. Nghe An wishes to cooperate with Khanh Hoa in the fields that the two provinces have the needs and potential to exploit. With the tourism, economic, cultural and social potential of the North Central region and with the advantages of Nghe An and Khanh Hoa provinces, opening a direct flight from Vinh to Nha Trang is extremely necessary,” said Mr. Nguyen Manh Cuong, Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, at a recent working session to prepare for the opening of the air route chaired by the Provincial People's Committee.

It must also be added that Nha Trang is a 4-season tourist destination, opening the Vinh - Nha Trang flight route not only diversifies products for tourists from the North Central region but also creates an opportunity for travel agencies in Khanh Hoa, Ninh Thuan, Binh Thuan to visit Uncle Ho's hometown, travel to Cua Lo combined with travel itineraries to Laos, Northeast Thailand; turning Vinh City into a gateway to Laos and Thailand for travel agencies in the South Central region.

At the meeting with Jetstar Pacific Company, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Huynh Thanh Dien emphasized: In addition to tourism development, investment attraction is also being promoted by Nghe An province and has achieved many important results. In the future, Nghe An wishes to cooperate with Khanh Hoa province in the fields that the two provinces have needs and potential to exploit. Therefore, opening the Vinh - Nha Trang flight route is a favorable condition for Nghe An to develop its economy and tourism in the coming time. The province commits to creating the best conditions for the Vinh - Nha Trang flight route to be exploited effectively. It is recommended that Jetstar Pacific Aviation Joint Stock Company, Northern branch, should study and arrange suitable flight schedules, improve the quality of flight services, and serve passengers best.

It can be said that, in the context of general economic difficulties, the opening of the direct flight route Vinh - Nha Trang once again affirms the airline's determination and efforts in developing a convenient air bridge to meet the increasing travel demand between the North Central region and Khanh Hoa.
