China is a marketalways expected to help with the recovery of Vietnam’s aviation and tourismsectors, a representative of Vietravel Airlines said, noting that the Vietraveltourism and aviation group sees many positive signals when China decided toopen group tours to Vietnam from March 15.

As a member of Vietravel,which possesses a complete tourism ecosystem with various inbound and outboundtours, Vietravel Airlines has been making thorough preparations to access andserve a large number of holidaymakers, especially in the peak season of summer,the carrier said.

As the ChineseGovernment will permit only group tours, the airline, with the advantage of itsstrong bonds with the Vietravel travel company, has also signed contracts withsome partners to conduct charter flights between Vietnam and China in thecoming time.

It will focus on theroutes connecting some big cities of China, namely Hangzhou, Changzhou, andKunming, with Nha Trang city in Vietnam’s central province of Khanh Hoa.

The reopening of theChinese market promises vibrancy for both tourism and aviation sectors ofVietnam. However, complying with flight safety and anti-pandemic rules of thetwo countries is among challenges carriers need to overcome, according toVietravel Airlines./.
