On March 19, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism informed the city to welcome a group of 400 tourists on the first series of charter flights from Iran to Vietnam.
The first flight with 200 passengers landed in Ho Chi Minh City on March 19. The group will visit prominent landmarks from the South, Central to the North before ending the journey on March 28.
The second batch with 200 visitors will arrive in Hanoi on March 28, explore the unique tourist destinations on the North - Central - South route and end on April 5.
According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism, the event marked a new step forward in tourism cooperation between Vietnam and Iran. This is the first time a VIP charter airline from Iran has operated a direct flight to Vietnam, opening up opportunities to develop and expand the international tourist market.
Choosing Vietnam as a destination during Iran's Nowruz - Lunar New Year holiday shows the growing attractiveness of Vietnamese tourism for Middle Eastern tourists.
The expansion of the international tourist market, especially from the Middle East, not only contributes to diversifying the source of visitors but also creates conditions for the development of high-end tourism, improving the quality of services. At the same time, it increases the attraction of Vietnam on the world tourism map.
