There are not enough hotels and planes

[IMG=18360-3951] The main disadvantage of Viet Nam as a travel destination is its novelty for the Russian market, due to which there is a lack of flights and hotel database. Such a conclusion was made by the experts of the online-broadcast on the topic of ‘Viet Nam. Growth problems: Will it become an alternative to Thailand?’, which was held on the 17th of November on the forum of professional tourist portal www.tourdom.ru. Albert Kopiyan, managing director of Amitour company, Marina Solovieva-Rudakova, superviser of South-East Asia at UTE Megapolus group, Stanislav Pegushin, head of Viet Nam destination at ‘Inna tour’, Dmitry Tsarkov, commercial director of ‘Tourbazaar’ company, Nikolai Toktaev, representative of Vietnam Airlines as well as Alyona Nikitina, representative of receiving company Focus Asia took part in the discussion. Experts noted that the demand for the Vietnamese destination often exceeds the supply, especially with Vietnam Airlines. Nikolai Tokarev answered the questioned: ‘We will build up the volumes of flights. But they need to be evaluated in proportion to hotels. At the moment these numbers are approximately comparable’. Albert Kopiyan added that Viet Nam has a sufficient base for forming profitable offers. ‘There is more authentic nature, great beaches and sea. There is a larger variety of interesting excursions. The cost of accommodation is moderate as well’, commented an expert. You can participate in the discussion here.
