On March 19, Ho Chi Minh City welcomed the first charter flight from Iran to Vietnam, marking a new step forward in tourism cooperation between Vietnam and Iran.

The delegation was welcomed at the airport, with the participation of representatives of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism and related units.

A representative of the City Department of Tourism said that choosing Vietnam as a destination during the Nowruz holiday (Iran's traditional New Year) shows the growing attractiveness of Vietnamese tourism to Middle Eastern tourists.

During the 10-day, 9-night journey, through 3 regions of the country, the group will stay at famous hotels such as New World Saigon, Equatorial Ho Chi Minh, Four Points by Sheraton Danang, Dolce by Wyndham Hanoi...

According to a representative of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism, the event of welcoming a charter group from Iran is an important milestone in the effort to promote international tourism of the City in particular and Vietnam in general.

Expanding the international tourist market, especially from the Middle East, not only contributes to diversifying tourist sources, but also creates conditions for developing high-end tourism, improving service quality and increasing Vietnam's attractiveness on the world tourism map.

In the coming time, the City Department of Tourism will continue to closely coordinate with many units in the industry to develop attractive tourism products, suitable to the needs of international tourists, promote advertising and market promotion activities to attract more large groups of tourists to Vietnam.

The second batch of 200 guests from Iran is expected to arrive in Hanoi on March 28, continuing to explore unique tourist destinations on the North-Central-South journey and ending on April 5./.
