According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism, airlines have recently made efforts to optimize their fleets, service personnel, and increase a series of night flights, thereby contributing to cooling down airfares. However, night flights have not really attracted passengers, many flights have had to be canceled. The Department of Tourism believes that in order for night flights to attract passengers, there needs to be cooperation from relevant parties.
Therefore, the city's tourism industry has coordinated with Vietnam Airlines Corporation, travel agencies, and tourist accommodation establishments to develop a set of night flight products, encouraging tourists to use these products during the peak summer tourist season.
Tourists taking night flights to Ho Chi Minh City are offered free or up to 80% discounts on hotel rooms, making many travel enthusiasts restless. Not only that, those who want to come to this vibrant city to work or visit relatives are also extremely happy with this news.
