It created a good chance for Quang Binh to introduce its culture and strengths to draw more domestic and international visitors via Chiang Mai,  Deputy Director of Quang Binh Tourism Department Le The Luc.

He believed that with the concentration on improving the quality of services, Quang Binh will increasingly meet the demand of Thai tourists in general and tourists from Chiang Mai in particular. Particular, the launch of the air route from Dong Hoi to Chiang Mai will contribute to boosting the exchange of travellersbetween the two sides in the coming time. 

Flights between Dong Hoi and Chiang Mai were operated by Jetstar Pacific from August 11th, 2017 in order to connect the central region of Viet Nam to the North of Thailand, to contribute to serving the travel demand of tourists and people. 

The air route has two flights a week on Monday and Friday by Airbus A320 aircraft with 180 economy seats. The flying duration is 1 hours 40 minutes.

Quang Binh boasts rich tourism resources in Viet Nam and Southeast Asia. It is home to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park and the world’s largest cave Son Doong.

The province also has the longest coastline in Viet Nam with beautiful beaches and special seafood dishes, and it is chosen as one of the filming destinations of the movie “Kong: Skull Island” – which is expected to bring great benefits to the local tourism.

It is preserving valuable tangible and intangible cultural values such as “ca tru” (ceremonial singing), and “ho khoan” (a genre of Vietnamese folk music in Le Thuy district).
