The direct air route was launched by the Travel and
Transportation Services Company WorldTrans in coordination with a number of
domestic tourist companies.
Accordingly, WorldTrans will operate 28 chartered flights during
the summer, from June to August, using the 180-seat Airbus 320 aircraft from
VietJet Air. 5,000 tickets for the 28 flights on the route have been sold so
far.
The flight from Can Tho city departs at 9:05am and the return
flight from Bangkok at 7am, with the flight duration of 1 hour 25 minutes.
According to the Can Tho city authorities, the launch of the
direct air route helps to open up new opportunities to promote tourism in Can
Tho city and the Mekong delta localities in general to Thailand, one of the
highest potential markets in the Southeast Asia.

Hoa Binh has taken measures, focusing on removing barriers in terms of mechanism, policy, infrastructure, and upgrading technical infrastructure facilities serving tourism and the quality of human resources, to promote tourism development in the Hoa Binh Lake area.
Over the past time, Da Bac has deployed measures to lure more domestic and foreign visitors to the locality, aiming to turn tourism into the district’s economic spearhead.
Covering an area of over 52,000 hectares spanning districts of Mai Chau, Tan Lac, Cao Phong, Da Bac, and Hoa Binh City, Hoa Binh lake has strong potential for tourism development. In recent years, thanks to the attention of local Party Committees and authorities as well as support from international organisations, the advantages of tourism in the lake area have been utilised.
Mai Chau is a mountainous district and home to many ethnic groups such as Thai, Muong, Kinh, Mong, Dao, and Tay with distinctive cultural identities, creating a diverse and unique cultural treasure. Aware of its advantages, the district has paid attention to the preservation and promotion of ethnic groups’ cultural values so that culture will become a leverage for tourism and contribute to socio-economic development and life quality improvement.
