The two agreed to operate one charter flight a month between August and January next year. If there was interest, the two localities could increase flight frequency on the route.

Hue added that South Korean tourist demand to visit Vietnam, especially Ha Long Bay, was significant. Jeju Island Tourism Association is committed to ensuring the flow of tourists to Van Don by air. However, the Vietnamese also needed to secure interest in visiting South Korea.

Quang Ninh is considering various measures to support tourists getting to Van Don Airport, including waiving fees for attractions, such as entrance tickets to Ha Long Bay.

In late April, the Jeju Island Tourism Association and ten major South Korean travel companies visited Van Don International Airport and some tourist sites in Quang Ninh.

South Korea is among Quang Ninh's key tourism markets. Some South Korean businesses are building a tourist shopping area in Ha Long City's Bai Chay Ward.
