Phu Quoc / New Delhi, 10 Dec 2025 – Vietravel partners with MakeMyTrip to support direct flights from New Delhi to Phu Quoc, enhancing Vietnam tourism.With the peak travel season approaching and demand for international leisure rising, Vietravel has announced a collaborative initiative with MakeMyTrip, India’s largest online travel platform, to introduce a direct flight series from New Delhi to Phu Quoc. Operated by Air India from December 10, 2025, to January 10, 2026, the programme consists of eight flights. This development marks a measured yet significant advancement in bilateral cooperation, enhancing the visibility of Vietnam tourism and strengthening regional aviation connectivity.Vietravel and MakeMyTrip formalise key partnership to elevate Vietnam tourismPossessing a rapidly expanding outbound market, India recorded over 27 million international departures in 2019, with forecasts suggesting a doubling of figures in the coming decade. According to The Economist, outbound expenditure reached USD 33 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow to USD 45 billion by 2025, largely driven by travellers pursuing warm-climate escapes, refined hospitality, and integrated resort environments. Phu Quoc’s temperate winter conditions, established leisure infrastructure, and distinctive cultural activities position the island as a suitable destination for this expanding demographic.Each Air India service is designed to carry approximately 160 passengers, welcoming an estimated 1,400 Indian visitors during its one-month operation. The schedule - from New Delhi at 7:40 PM and returning at 3:00 AM - has been planned with careful consideration for travellers’ time, enabling guests to commence experiences from the first morning upon arrival. This structured approach reflects a coordinated effort to elevate tourism efficiency and facilitate sustainable growth for Vietnam tourism, particularly within high-potential South Asian segments.In alignment with its 30-year commitment to professional tour operation and destination promotion, Vietravel, together with MakeMyTrip, has curated a tailored 5-day / 4-night all-inclusive programme. The package features premium accommodation, private transfers, licensed tour experts, curated dining experiences, and access to prominent attractions such as the Hon Thom Cable Car, VinWonders, wildlife conservation areas, and Phu Quoc’s renowned pearl-culturing villages. The programme’s signature highlight - the “Bollywood Night” Gala Dinner - celebrates cultural exchange through immersive performance and themed hospitality. Complementing the package, Vietravel will also provide à-la-carte services, ensuring flexible access to hotel bookings, airport transfers, and attraction tickets for travellers who prefer personalised arrangements.The inaugural flight on 10 December 2025 will be met with a formal welcome ceremony at Phu Quoc International Airport, attended by representatives from local authorities and industry partners. This initiative reinforces destination branding and demonstrates a respectful approach to hosting international guests, aligning with the long-term development objectives of Vietnam tourism.Representing Vietravel, Mr Ngo Minh Quan, Deputy Director of the Inbound Department, shared: “The Indian market holds strategic significance within Vietravel’s global development plans. These direct flights enable us to provide more accessible and meaningful travel experiences, while contributing to Phu Quoc’s position as a distinguished regional island destination.” He added: “With continued collaboration alongside partners such as MakeMyTrip, we aim to support the sustainable advancement of Phu Quoc and further elevate the reputation of Vietnam tourism on the international stage.”As the leading DMC in the country, Vietravel consistently provides high-standard services at the most competitive prices so that you can discover the beauty of not only Vietnam but all of Southeast Asia.Please contact us for more informationVietravel – Vietnam’s Leading DMCHotline: (84) 35 235 61 61Email: [email protected]: www.vietraveldmc.com#Vietnam #Vietravel #VietravelDMC
