The Vietnam Tourism Ambassador to South Korea expressed the hope that tourism agencies and local authorities in both countries would continue to leverage their roles and strengthen connections with associations, travel agencies, and relevant partners. This aims to translate cooperation strategies into practical programs, thereby boosting visitor exchanges and promoting destinations.
Speaking at the session, Mr. Nguyen Long Bien stated that Khanh Hoa identifies South Korea as a key market for the province's tourism sector.

Khanh Hoa aims to strengthen tourism promotion with South Korea and Jeju; foster connections among tourism promotion agencies, associations, travel companies, media outlets, and airlines; collaborate on promotional campaigns, familiarization trips (famtrips), and press trips; and develop two-way tourism products to sustain and expand the South Korean visitor market.
Mr. Nguyen Long Bien requested that the Embassy of Vietnam in South Korea continue to assist Khanh Hoa in connecting with South Korean authorities, local governments, associations, and the business community, particularly in the sectors of tourism, marine sports, aviation, and investment. The province also seeks support in connecting with airlines and travel agencies to conduct market research, build visitor sources, and facilitate the resumption of the Cam Ranh - Jeju air route; promoting Khanh Hoa’s tourism image and products in South Korea; and linking South Korean investors with the province's high-potential projects.
