The event is an opportunity for Vietnamese businesses to introduce outstanding destinations, unique culture and diverse tourism services, creating conditions for Chinese businesses and tourists to access and learn more about Vietnam. China has always been one of Vietnam's key tourism markets. In 2024, the Chinese market began to recover after a long period of being affected by Covid-19. According to statistics from the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, Chinese tourists to Vietnam in the first 9 months of the year reached 2.7 million, an increase of 141.4% over the same period. For Vietnam Airlines alone, the number of passengers transported to China in the first 9 months of the year reached 483,000, 2.4 times higher than the same period in 2023. The airline is currently operating 5 regular routes to China, including routes from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to major cities such as Guangzhou, Beijing, and Shanghai. In the coming time, Vietnam Airlines plans to continue to increase the frequency of regular flights, open new routes and increase the use of wide-body aircraft to supplement capacity in the context of good market demand growth. At the same time, the airline will coordinate with agencies and partners of the two countries to develop programs to promote new destinations in Vietnam for Chinese tourists, and introduce potential destinations in China to the Vietnamese people.
