The on-line conference devoted to Indochina was held on professional portal www.tourdom.ru on February 14th. Experts of the conference pointed out that in spite of the fact that prices for tours to Vietnam start from $1100–1200 and combined tours to Laos and Burma cost minimum $1800, the destination can attract some ‘Mediterranean’ summer tourists. ‘It is explained by little in-country expenses. For example, in Vietnam seafood dinner costs $5, while in Cyprus - $30’, – said Marina Rudakova, supervisor of South-East Asia Department of UTE Megapolus group. Besides, the destination attracts tourists by a wide range of excursion opportunities and high level of services provided.
Nevertheless, one of the experts pointed out that the infrastructure is embryonic at the moment, as countries of the destination are not spoiled by massive tourism. Besides, problems arise while cooperation with local tour operating companies: ‘sometimes incoming companies can not provide in-country services, transfers, excursions’, said Konstantin Denisov, the Head of South-East Asia Department of Kvinta-tour. Therefore, Russian companies prefer to cooperate with European incoming companies. Furthermore, experts demonstrated enthusiasm regarding air traffic volume. ‘Vietnamese Airlines plan to increase the number of flights at four per week. Besides, starting from February 20th Aeroflot launches two flights per week’, added Denisov.
