The video clip immediately attracted the attention of many people at the site with beautiful images of various famous tourist attractions of Viet Nam such as the mysterious Son Doong cave, a vibrant Ho Chi Minh City, the spectacular fireworks festival and the unique Golden Bridge in Da Nang, rowing boating in Ninh Binh and steaming hot bowls of Pho (noodle soup) in the capital city of Ha Noi.

Information about a new regular direct air service between Viet Nam and the US operated by Vietnam Airlines was also provided.

The commission of the route on November 28 has facilitated travel between Viet Nam and the US. Viet Nam Airlines is the first Vietnamese carrier to operate direct flights between the two countries.

The introduction of Viet Nam to American tourists and international friends is an effort of Viet Nam Airlines in the role of the national carrier, both to ensure business and help to spread the country’s image, culture and people of Viet Nam as well as promote economic development through connecting to key markets.

Currently, there are two flights a week between Ho Chi Minh City and San Francisco and the carrier plans to increase the number to seven when the pandemic situation is put under control and the Vietnamese Government allows the resumption of international air service.

Viet Nam Airlines is also studying the possibility of other direct routes connecting Los Angeles with Ha Noi or HCM City.
