An unnamed travel industry expert told the RuNews24 news agency about this.

In the first quarter of 2018 (January-March), about 262 thousand tourists from Russia visited Vietnam. Compared to the first quarter of last year, the number of Russian tourists increased by 13%. According to statistics, almost every 4th guest of the country arrived from Russia. For a long time, Russia has remained the main market for Vietnamese resorts.

Experts attribute the growth in tour sales for the summer period to the fact that the myth about the limited tourist season from November to April is beginning to dispel. Russian specialists working in travel agencies are often mistaken in believing that Vietnam has the same tourist seasonality as Thailand. But time goes on, and now Russian travelers know from their own experience that summer is a great time of year to visit Vietnam.

According to a representative from a popular travel agency, the average price for a package holiday in Nha Trang in the summer of 2018, for 8 nights with accommodation in a double room, will be about 45,000 rubles.
