Vietnam-India flight brings new wave of tourism

Vietnamese tourism agencies sought to capitalize on new air traffic from India by bringing a delegation over to study the market.
A source from the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT) said they have cooperated with Vietnam Airlines and private Indian carrier Jet Airways to fly representatives from 22 leading Indian travel agencies and a group of journalists to Vietnam between November 23 and 29, Thoi Bao Kinh Te Saigon Online reported.
The daily Ho Chi Minh City and Mumbai/New Delhi route, which transit in Bangkok, opened on November 5 following a codeshare agreement between Jet Airways and Vietnam Airlines.
Insiders said the service will help raise arrivals from India ten-fold in just a few years.
Only 10,000 passengers arrive, on average, each year.
VNAT and the Indian Embassy in Hanoi will hold a conference on Saturday, November 29, with members of the hospitality industry in both countries, the news site said.
