Vietnam’s V-day celebrations.

2. tourism services in Mui Ne are good and cheap.
Ton That Hung from Coco Café tour operator says nearly 30 percent of his customers
come from Russia. After visiting Mui Ne, many Russian tourists continue their trip to
NhaTrang City and the romantic Central Highland resort of Da Lat.
Tran Anh Thi, executive director of Seahorse hotel, says about 45 percent of his guests
are Russian tourists who are keen on beach tours.
The Khanh Hoa provincial Department for Culture, Sports and Tourism reports Russian
tourists top the list of international visitors to Nha Trang, with nearly 100,000 Russians
visiting the city in 2012.
To meet the increasing demand from Russian visitors, the national flag carrier Vietnam
Airlines has launched a direct air route from Moscow to Nha Trang, operating two flights
a week.
NhaTrang-based Anh Duong tour operator is cooperating with Pegas Touristik travel
agent to open 19 direct air routes connecting Nha Trang to 22 cities in Russia.
Le Van Nghia, a representative of Russia’s Transaero Airlines in Vietnam, says his firm
has decided to conduct three flights a week from Moscow to HCM City right this
summer.
The Vietnam Tourism Administration (VNAT) statistics show Russia was among
Vietnam’s top ten markets last year. The first four months of this year saw a year-on-year
increase of 50 percent in Russian arrivals to Vietnam.
Experts suggest Vietnam should tap its huge potential, especially beautiful beaches, for
tourism development to attract more foreign visitors, including those from Russia, each
year.
Apart from increasing tourism products and services, they say, Vietnamese tour guides
should improve their Russian language to serve Russian-speaking tourists in the future.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has agreed to allocate VND6.3 billion to
Khanh Hoa to train local students and tour guides in Russian.
