The event is a key tourism promotion activity aimed at showcasing an image of Vietnam as a dynamic, friendly, and culturally rich destination to international audiences, while officially announcing the launch of the direct flight route between Ho Chi Minh City and Copenhagen.
To attract high-spending international visitors, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism, in collaboration with Vietnam Airlines, organised the Vietnam Tourism Promotion Program in Copenhagen, Denmark, on November 19, 2025.
According to the plan, Vietnam Airlines will officially launch the Ho Chi Minh City – Copenhagen route on December 15, 2025, with a frequency of three round-trip flights per week operated by the modern Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. The new route will reduce travel time between Vietnam and Denmark to approximately 12 hours, offering passengers a seamless and comfortable travel experience.
The launch of this direct route marks a strategic step in Vietnam Airlines' expansion of its European network, serving as a key bridge for tourism, trade, and cultural exchange between Vietnam and Northern Europe. It also reaffirms Ho Chi Minh City's position as Vietnam's leading economic, cultural, and tourism hub, a vibrant regional destination and an aviation gateway connecting Southeast Asia with Europe.
As part of the Copenhagen program, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism, in collaboration with Vietnam Airlines, the Hanoi Department of Tourism, and the Saigontourist Group, will co-host a tourism promotion roadshow, introducing the distinctive product ecosystem and signature travel experiences of the "New Ho Chi Minh City" – a dynamic, innovative, and globally integrated destination.
Bui Thi Ngoc Hieu, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism, emphasised that the launch of the direct flight to Copenhagen holds special significance in reinforcing the City's role as Vietnam's international tourism gateway and its largest tourist reception centre. The new route will also create favourable conditions for expanding connections and attracting visitors from the Nordic market to Vietnam and vice versa.
