In recent days, Khanh Hoa has continuously welcomed tourists flying directly from Kazakhstan. From now to the end of December, each week the province is expected to receive 4 flights from Almaty (Kazakhstan) to Cam Ranh.

The province has also stepped up promotion and advertising activities to deeply and strongly recover the international tourist market in the last months of 2022 and in 2023. Latest, October 27, the provincial Department of Tourism, the provincial Department of Foreign Affairs and Consulate General of India in Ho Chi Minh City jointly organized an online conference on Indian travel tastes. At the conference, Indian travel agencies highly appreciated the attractiveness of Khanh Hoa tourism for Indian tourists. “Khanh Hoa is one of the localities with great tourism potential that is of great interest to Indians. Many Indian tourists want to relax in Vietnam and learn about the traditional culinary culture of Vietnamese people in the near future. However, it is necessary to have a direct flight soon to promote the number of Indian tourists to Khanh Hoa and vice versa”, said Vikram - Managing Director of My Tour Box Company.
