PANO - The northern province of Quang Ninh and the Vietnam Airlines Corporation signed a cooperation deal on January 22 to boost tourism promotion, expand the flight network from and to Van Don International Airport, which will be put into operation in 2018, and popularize local tourism and Vietnam Airlines’ services.
According to the agreement, Quang Ninh will prepare facilities and support mechanisms for new air routes to Van Don Airport to attract more tourists to the province and popularize local tourism destinations to key markets, such as the EU, Australia and Northeast Asia.
Meanwhile, Vietnam Airlines will study and increase domestic and international flights to and from Van Don Airport in 2018 and the years to come. The two sides will cooperate to carry out tourism and investment promotion programs and sponsorship of cultural and tourism activities in the period of 2018-2021.
At the signing ceremony, Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Duc Long said that air transport in the province will be developed in the coming time, so it is hoped Vietnam Airlines will open more domestic and international air routes from and to Van Don Airport as well as popularize tourism destinations of Quang Ninh in Vietnam Airlines’ publications.
As a coastal province in Northeast Vietnam, Quang Ninh has many heritages, including Ha Long Bay. The deal will help meet travel demand and trade activities of locals and tourists.
