My family has been looking forward to this tour for a long time, so when we heard that Anex Tour reopened the tour, we signed up right away. My whole family will spend 2 weeks at Vinpearl. I chose to go to Khanh Hoa because of its beautiful scenery and warm climate. In particular, there are many delicious seafood here.”
 
Similarly, Viktoria Semennikova was excited when she travelled in Khanh Hoa for the second time: “I have booked to stay at Selectum Noa Resort Cam Ranh.

After this flight, Anex Vietnam has planned organize 25 more flights to bring Russian tourists to Khanh Hoa, with a frequency of 2 flights/week with 320-340 tourists/trip. Nguyen Ngoc Luong said that as the Russian Government has only licensed flights from Moscow with a frequency of 2 flights/week, the number of passengers is still limited. In the coming time, when the frequency and flight points are allowed to expand to other major cities by the Russian Government, Anex Vietnam will raise the number number of passengers, with priority given to Novosibirk and Vladivostok.
