VITM 2016 to choose Russian tourists as honourable guests

According to the organising board of Vietnam International Travel Mart (VITM) 2016, which will take place in Hanoi from April 14-17, Russian tourists will be honourable guests at the Vietnam’s leading tourism show.

Russia has made significant changes in the world’s tourism market in the recent years. Russian tourists have suspended their tours to Egypt and Turkey due to plane crashes and political tension. 
At present, Vietnam has been ranked the fourth in the most popular destinations for Russian tourists.
With the rate of 60% chosen by Russian visitors,  Khanh Hoa province has become Vietnam’s most attractive destination for Russian people. Phu Quoc in Kien Giang province and Mui Ne in Binh Thuan province are also among ideal localities for long holiday.
