This is a direct flight from Hong Kong to Cam Ranh in Khanh Hoa Province.

A representative of HK Express said whenever opening a new route they hope to inspire passengers’ desire to explore new destinations and connect with different cultures.

The route linking Hong Kong and Cam Ranh runs every Wednesday and Friday.

The launching of the route is part of efforts by Khanh Hoa to maintain growth in the number of Chinese tourists to the province.

Viet Nam welcomed more than 8 million foreign tourists in the first 10 months of 2016, up 25.4% year on year. Chinese tourist figures soared by 55.2% from a year earlier.
