According to the Quang Nam Provincial People’s Committee, Vietjet Air highlighted that the China National Tourism Administration prohibits agents from organizing or selling tours to Central Vietnam, citing hotel and destination limitations. This has impacted Vietjet’s plans to launch direct flights from China to Chu Lai Airport in Quang Nam.
Despite the airport’s limited infrastructure, Vietjet sees great potential for international flight connections to Quang Nam, home to popular tourist sites like Hoi An and the My Son Sanctuary. The airline believes that easing these restrictions would boost tourism and economic trade between China and Vietnam.
While Central Vietnam’s tourism industry, especially in Da Nang, has seen growth, Chinese tourist numbers remain lower than expected due to current policies.
