Vietjet’s new Ho Chi Minh City-Chengdu route boost Vietnam tourism

Monday, February 12, 2024

Vietjet marked the commencement of the Lunar New Year, on February 10th, by inaugurating a new route that bridges Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) in Vietnam with Chengdu in China, heralding a new chapter of travel ease between the two nations.

The introduction of this route is a testament to Vietjet’s commitment to expanding its network and facilitating cultural and economic exchanges between Vietnam and China. Operating seven return flights weekly, with each leg spanning over four hours, the airline ensures a steady and convenient connection for travelers eager to explore these dynamic regions.

Chengdu, located in Southwestern China, is renowned not only as an essential hub that links numerous Chinese and global cities but also as a cultural and natural treasure trove. It is famously known as the “homeland” of the Giant Pandas, offering unique encounters with these beloved creatures. Additionally, Chengdu serves as a gateway to Jiuzhaigou, a UNESCO World Heritage site celebrated for its stunning natural beauty and vibrant cultural heritage, making it a must-visit for nature and culture enthusiasts alike.

Conversely, HCMC stands as a bustling trade center within the region, boasting an attractive blend of diverse cultures and the unique allure of Vietnamese street food. The city’s vibrant energy and rich cultural tapestry make it an enticing destination for tourists from around the globe. Moreover, HCMC’s strategic position in Vietjet’s international network facilitates smooth connections to various global destinations, enhancing its appeal as a travel hub.

In a gesture of celebration and good fortune, Vietjet welcomed passengers on the first morning of the Year of the Dragon with the traditional Vietnamese custom of giving lucky money. This act not only imbued the inaugural flights with a sense of cultural significance but also underscored Vietjet’s dedication to delivering exceptional and culturally enriched travel experiences. Through this new route, Vietjet aims to strengthen the bonds between Vietnam and China, opening doors to increased tourism, cultural exchange, and economic collaboration between the two countries.
