Mr. Jim Parashos, Director of Aviation at Melbourne Airport, said that the growth in the number of visitors to Vietnam is one of the bright spots after the pandemic: “The strong development of flight routes between Vietnam and Australia in general, Victoria state and Melbourne airport in particular, has brought passengers more travel options at reasonable costs, helping exporters expand their markets.
