Vietjet will participate in the Modetour Travel Mart 2018, slated to be held from August 31 to September 2 in Seoul, South Korea, the airline announced on Tuesday.

During the forthcoming event, visitors will have a chance to get free round-trip tickets, gifts, and enjoy vibrant performances and take pictures with Vietjet’s friendly flight attendants, the airline said.

First held in 2014, Modetour Travel Mart is one of South Korea’s most prestigious and attractive travel fairs, with the participation of more than 50 countries and regions, attracting hundreds of thousands of international visitors. This is the third consecutive year Vietjet has attended this event.

With seven routes including ones connecting HCM City, Ha Noi, Hai Phong, Da Nang and Nha Trang with Seoul in addition to Ha Noi – Busan and Da Nang – Daegu routes, Vietjet continues offering travelling opportunities to local people and tourists, connecting the two countries with impressive destinations.

In recent years, Viet Nam has become a popular destination for South Korean holiday makers. The country welcomed 2.4 million tourists from South Korea last year, a 56.4 per cent increase on 2016, according to the General Statistics Office.

As many as two million South Korean visitors arrived in the Southeast Asian nation over the past seven months of this year, up 56 per cent year-on-year. South Koreans are second behind China in terms of tourist numbers and the central region is their favourite destination. — VNS
