Representatives from 20 Thai travel agencies are set to survey transport links and destinations around central Vietnam from April 3 for their visitors after two years of disruption caused by COVID-19.
Da Nang is one of pre-pandemic favourite destinations among Thai tourists.
During the four-day trip the special guests will learn more about tourism services in Da Nang, Hue, and Hoi An, all of which were pre-pandemic favourite destinations among Thai tourists.
Indochina Unique Tourist Co. Ltd, which will receive the group, said many visitors are hesitating to travel because Thailand is currently applying a one-day isolation policy due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
However, the Thai Government plans to remove this rule from May 1, allowing Vietnamese tour operators the chance to exploit the market, he noted.
In addition, a number of international flights between Vietnam and Thailand have been resumed, helping to boost post-pandemic recovery of tourism in the future.
On March 27 budget carrier Vietjet Air brought a total of 150 passengers from Bangkok to Da Nang, marking the start of a route running on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays every week. The number of flights is set to increase in line with the market’s demand.
A few days ago AirAsia unveiled that it would resume international flights from Vietnamese destinations such as Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang to Bangkok this April.
