Ms. Truong Thi Hong Hanh, Director of the Department of Tourism of Da Nang City, said that the opening of the Almaty (Kazakhstan) - Da Nang route marks an important milestone in connecting Da Nang tourism with the Kazakhstan market in particular and the Community of Independent States (CIS) in general, contributing to promoting the attraction of tourists from this new potential market to Da Nang.
