Looking ahead to 2025, Tung expressed optimism about further growth, noting tourism promotion efforts by Vietnamese localities and a rising interest among Australian tourists in Vietnam’s rich cultural and culinary offerings.

Suzanne NG, National Sales Manager at CVFR Consolidation Services, praised Vietnam Airlines as a premium carrier offering top-tier services and affirmed her company’s commitment to promoting the airline through joint marketing initiatives. She highlighted Vietnam as an increasingly popular destination for Australians, citing its affordability, diverse cuisine, and vibrant culture.
