Vu The Binh, Vista’s chairman (R) and Nguyen Duc Tam, VietJet Air’s deputy chief, exchange agreement terms

Accordingly, VietJet Air will offer 49 per cent discount on fares to holidaymakers in northern Vietnam for the next six months.

This domestic travel stimulus will introduce exclusive low-cost holiday packages to help lure travellers to the country’s most celebrated destinations from July 15 to December 31, 2012.

As a key partner in the deal, VietJet Air will provide low-cost tickets with favorable and flexible terms and conditions to participating travel agencies.

The travel agencies themselves will also try to offer competitively priced and high quality tours to help tourists further explore Vietnam’s holiday destinations.

For the Ho Chi Minh City - Hanoi route, which enjoys the highest traffic, VietJet Air will offer even lower fares than normal for travel agencies while also increasing flight frequency to meet surge in demand during summer and year-end holidays.

The travel stimulus program initiated by HTA, will last until the end of the year and aims to boost demand for domestic travel in Vietnam. VISTA and HTA have also been cooperating with localities to help slash service prices for travel agencies.

In related news, Jetstar Pacific Airlines announced the increase of more flights on the Ho Chi Minh City - Danang and the Hanoi - Danang routes. As travel demand increases in July, the airline will launch 48 flights to Danang from Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.

Accordingly, on July 12, from Thursday to Sunday, Jetstar Pacific will launch an additional five round trip flights between Ho Chi Minh City - Danang and two between Hanoi - Danang.

The airline will also sell cheaper flights on the Ho Chi Minh City - Haiphong route in the north and Vinh in the central region at VND650,000, starting September 5-26.
