Vietnam’s Khanh Hoa Province, home to Nha Trang, mulls non-stop flight route to Russia
Russian Tourists have been a major source of Tourist Business in Nha Trang for many years. Prior to the pandemic, tourism agencies such as Pegas, Anex, Focus, Coral Travel, and Summar Travel had been operating a total of four to six charter flights a day to bring visitors from Russian cities to Khanh Hoa’ Cam Ranh Airport.
However, due to the emergence of COVID-19, Vietnam has closed its borders to foreign tourists since March last year, effectively shuttering all international tourism activities in the country.
Before the shutdown of international tourism due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia was one of the biggest foreign tourist markets to Khanh Hoa, contributing 460,000 visits to the locale’s tourism sector in 2019, Nguyen Thi Le Thanh, deputy director of the provincial Department of Tourism, said during a conference on Wednesday.
For your info: Cam Ranh Bay was one of the largest Naval Ports of the US Navy during the Vietnam war.

Over the past few years Russia tried to secure to have it's Naval Fleet in the South China sea serviced at this facility.

The US tried to use the animosities between Vietnam and China to secure a lease of Cam Ranh Bay for its own Naval fleet. That never happened.
