On the morning of December 26, Khanh Hoa Provincial Department of Tourism in collaboration with Cam Ranh International Airport and Anex Vietnam Travel and Trading Company Limited held a ceremony to welcome a group of Russian tourists with "vaccine passports".

After that, visitors quickly completed immigration procedures and got health check before moving to resorts in Bai Dai (Cam Lam district) and Vinpearl Resort Nha Trang on Hon Tre island (Nha Trang City).
According to Nguyen Thi Le Thanh - Director of the provincial Department of Tourism, the fact that Anex Vietnam cooperated with partners to bring Russian tourists to Khanh Hoa has confirmed the attraction of the local tourism. Hopefully, after Russian tourists, tourists from Korea, Japan, Taiwan... will come back to Khanh Hoa.
Returning to Vietnam after nearly 2 years, Natalia Rukavichkina, a Russian tourist, happily said: “This is the 6th time my family has come to Vietnam to travel. My family has been looking forward to this tour for a long time, so when we heard that Anex Tour reopened the tour, we signed up right away. My whole family will spend 2 weeks at Vinpearl. I chose to go to Khanh Hoa because of its beautiful scenery and warm climate. In particular, there are many delicious seafood here.”
Similarly, Viktoria Semennikova was excited when she travelled in Khanh Hoa for the second time: “I have booked to stay at Selectum Noa Resort Cam Ranh. Now, I just want to go to the resort to sunbathe and soak in the clear blue sea… I will celebrate the new year with my boyfriend in Khanh Hoa. It will be a great time. And I also look forward to experiencing many interesting tourist services during the days here.”

According to Nguyen Ngoc Luong - Sales manager of Anex Vietnam, the Russian tourists to Khanh Hoa this time will stay from 7 to 26 days at Selectum Noa Resort Cam Ranh, Cam Ranh Riviera Beach Resort & Spa and Vinpearl Resort Nha Trang.

With the model of "one-stop destination", Russian guests will be experience high-class accommodation services, explore sea sports with kayaking, paragliding, golf and entertainment at VinWonders amusement park with hundreds of attractive games, the majestic Tata Show...
After this flight, Anex Vietnam has planned organize 25 more flights to bring Russian tourists to Khanh Hoa, with a frequency of 2 flights/week with 320-340 tourists/trip. Nguyen Ngoc Luong said that as the Russian Government has only licensed flights from Moscow with a frequency of 2 flights/week, the number of passengers is still limited. In the coming time, when the frequency and flight points are allowed to expand to other major cities by the Russian Government, Anex Vietnam will raise the number number of passengers, with priority given to Novosibirk and Vladivostok.
