They had travelled by an EC155B1 helicopter from the northernmost province of Ha Giang to Hanoi’s Gia Lam Airport and then to Van Don International Airport.
During their three-day trip, they will visit Bai Tu Long Bay and Ha Long Bay on a new pilot tourism route designed for the super-rich, which Quang Ninh province planned in advance. Other activities for them include relaxing, dining on the Heritage Line - Violet cruise ship, kayaking, staying overnight on the ship, and visiting Vung Vieng fishing village.
When in Vietnam, they will travel by helicopter, luxury car, and yacht, and utilise high-end services, as part of the new initiatives targeting the high-end travel market.
