On this occasion, to create an impression for Russian tourists to return, the leaders of Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and Anex Vietnam Company organized to welcome flight ZF2577.

In the first 2 months of 2025, Khanh Hoa welcomed 24,000 Russian visitors, an increase of 73% over the same period in 2024.

For various reasons, direct flights from Russia to Khanh Hoa have been suspended for a long time. In the past, Russian tourists who wanted to travel to Khanh Hoa had to transit through several countries such as Kazakhstan and China.

The opening of flights from Russia to Khanh Hoa by airlines is expected to boost the Russian tourist market to recover even faster in 2025 and the following years.
