DNVN - On the afternoon of October 23, the Danang Department of Tourism coordinated with Vietjet Air to launch the Danang - Ahmedabad (India) route with a frequency of 2 round trips/week using Airbus A320 aircraft, 180 seats/flight.
Vietjet Air Deputy General Director Do Xuan Quang said that Ahmedabad is the largest city in Gujarat state and the second largest metropolitan area in India with a population of about 5.1 million people. This is an attractive destination, similar to Da Nang and the Central region because of the unique combination of long-standing cultural heritage and modern development.
Leaders of Da Nang City People's Committee and Vietjet Air performed the opening ceremony of the Da Nang - Ahmedabad (India) flight route on the afternoon of October 23.
According to Vice Chairwoman of the Da Nang People's Committee Nguyen Thi Anh Thi, in the first 9 months of 2024, the city's tourism industry welcomed nearly 8.7 million overnight guests, including nearly 3.2 million international visitors. Notably, although there are no direct flights from India to Da Nang, the number of visitors from the world's most populous market to the city on the Han River in the past 9 months still reached more than 139,000, an increase of more than 4.2% over the same period in 2023.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Anh Thi emphasized that tourism products, tourism services and service quality of Da Nang in particular and the Central region in general are very suitable for the tastes of Indian tourists. In the past time, the city has received and provided information support for 20/91 Indian MICE tourist groups, attracting 4 large weddings of Indian couples with more than 1,200 guests.
With beautiful beaches, high-end resorts, increasingly complete and attractive tourism products such as golf tourism, mice tourism, wedding tourism, cuisine and culture, in recent years Indian tourists have gradually known the coastal city of Da Nang as a "paradise" for high-end tourism and a wedding venue for Indian billionaires.
“Vietjet Air’s opening of a direct flight from Da Nang to Ahmedabad will create favorable conditions to attract tourists from Ahmedabad in particular and the 1.4 billion-people market of India to experience attractive destinations, enjoy unique cuisine and enjoy typical tourism products in Da Nang – Asia’s leading festival and event destination,” Ms. Nguyen Thi Anh Thi emphasized.
The leaders of the Da Nang People's Committee also stated that the Da Nang - Ahmedabad flight route will not only meet the increasing travel demand between the two countries but also open up new opportunities for economic, educational, cultural and technological cooperation between the two cities in particular, and Vietnam and India in general.
On this occasion, the Da Nang Department of Tourism in collaboration with Vietjet Air invited Miss Universe India 2024 - Rhea Singha and KOLs Ekta Sandhir to relax, experience and make videos and photos promoting Da Nang tourism destinations. At the same time, they invited a famtrip delegation of 20 travel agencies and a presstrip delegation of 19 reporters from India to survey and promote Da Nang tourism in major Indian newspapers.
According to the program, tomorrow morning, October 24, the Da Nang Department of Tourism will continue to coordinate with Vietjet Air and relevant units to welcome the first passengers on the flight from Ahmedabad (India) landing at Da Nang International Airport.
