As all barriers were lifted, tourismis a highly potential field for cooperation between Vietnam and the RoK, hesaid, perceiving that with efforts to improve service quality and open newtours, Vietnam will soon welcome 4.3 million Korean visitors like in thepre-pandemic period, and the number of Vietnamese tourists to the NortheastAsian country will also return to pre-pandemic levels in a short period oftime.
Ryu Chang-ho, CEO of Hana Tour - thelargest travel firm in the RoK, said Vietnam is one of the favourite destinationsof Korean people, who often choose its coastal places such as Da Nang, NhaTrang and Ha Long to spend their holidays with their families.
Recommending Vietnam widely publiciseinformation about anti-pandemic measures to facilitate tourism promotion andtour opening, he noted as both the quantity and frequency of internationalflights are gradually being resumed, Hana Tour is launching many attractivetours to Da Nang, Phu Quoc, and many other destinations of Vietnam this June.
Jin Kyoung-wook from Mode Tour alsopointed to the need for more pandemic safety information from Vietnam so thatKorean tourists can comfortably choose the Southeast Asian nation for theirholidays.
European tours have been fully bookedbut trips to Southeast Asia have yet to recover as expected despite closeproximity and reasonable prices. Given this, it is necessary to advertiseVietnam as a safe destination free of COVID-19 dangers more strongly, accordingto Jin.
“Rediscover Vietnam” was part of aseries of activities held by Vietnam Airlines to attract Korean tourists to thecountry.
The national flag carrier isoperating four routes to the RoK, namely Seoul - Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, andDa Nang, together with Pusan - Hanoi. It will reopen Seoul - Nha Trang andPusan - HCM City flights in July./.
