HO CHI MINH CITY– On the occasion of the Da Lat Flower Festival and the 2013 Da Lat Cultural Tourism Week, VietJetAir opens the new route Vinh – Dalat, its second route out of the resort city. VIetjet already serves the air route Hanoi – Dalat. The airline will offer 1,080 seats per week offering three return frequencies per week on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The flight is scheduled to take off at 08:05am from Vinh and arrive in Da Lat at 09:35am. On the way back, the flight is scheduled to depart at 10:10am from Da Lat and land at Vinh at 11:40am.

With a duration of 90 minutes, this route does not only connect two cities that are rich in history and culture, but also contribute to their commercial and tourism growth and meet travel demand.

Dalat celebrates its 120 anniversary of its founding. A large festival is due to be held from December 27 to 31 with France participating as one of the highlights of the Vietnam – France Year. Since April 2013 and until the first half of 2014, France and Vietnam jointly celebrate 40 years of dimplomatic relations. Dalat is part of the celebration as the city was totally created by French as a cool mountainous resort.

Major events include a festival, the fifth Da Lat Flower Festival and a ceremony to launch the 2014 Central Highlands- Da Lat National Tourism Year. Among the renovations conducted in Dalat are new lighting and new pavement as well as two new shopping malls. Local authorities are now building more parks, including Tran Quoc Toan park, the city’s first ever cherry blossom park, while renovating a range of ancient colonial style villas to host the tourists to the festival.
