At approximately 12:35 p.m. on September 29, Nordwind Airlines flight RA73850 from Moscow landed at Cam Ranh International Airport in Khanh Hoa Province.
Leaders of Khanh Hoa Provincial People’s Committee, along with representatives of relevant units, presented gifts to passengers and crew members to create a memorable and friendly impression.
Director of Khanh Hoa Provincial Center for Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion Truong Van Tien indicated that the event marks an important milestone in restoring the Eastern European market and opens a new growth phase for the province’s tourism sector.
These tourists typically stay longer and spend more. Reviving the Russian market and expanding into Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan will help Khanh Hoa Province diversify its tourist sources and raise the proportion of international visitors to the province, he added.
