Of which, Russian and CIS visitors reached more than 100,000, accounting for about 4.35% of the total number of visitors. The strong restoration of these routes from April to October is expected to create momentum for the city's green economy.
In addition to welcoming guests, from April 13 to April 18, a famtrip delegation of more than 250 travel businesses from CIS will survey the actual products and services in Da Nang. In particular, the connection seminar on April 17 and 18 will be an opportunity for local service providers to work directly and sign cooperation agreements with international partners.
According to the plan, the flight network from Russia and the CIS to Da Nang in 2026 will expand to many major cities of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Belarus and the Far East, Siberia (Russia).
A representative of Crystal Bay said that this unit plans to operate about 400 flights in 2026, aiming to bring 80,000 to 100,000 passengers to Da Nang.
