The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam has just issued a document to Vietnamese airlines such as Vietnam Airlines, Vietjet, Bamboo Airways, Pacific Airlines, and Vietravel Airlines regarding the enhancement of state management and strict control of airfares.
Accordingly, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam requires airlines to supplement transportation capacity and increase supply on international and domestic routes.
Airlines need to actively work with global aircraft leasing partners to seek aircraft, supplement transportation capacity, and replace aircraft that have been grounded due to engine recalls. They should also research increasing supply on domestic routes and routes serving tourism, especially flights to/from Can Tho Airport.
Regarding passenger transport service prices, the Civil Aviation Authority requires airlines to continue strictly complying with regulations on domestic passenger air transport service prices, declare prices, list prices, and publicly disclose information about prices and ticket sales programs as per regulations.
Additionally, airlines must review and adjust the way information is displayed, clarify the cost items that passengers must pay for in the ticket price to avoid confusion during the ticket purchasing process.
Moreover, Vietnamese airlines need to develop flexible fare ranges and continue offering preferential fare policies on domestic routes suitable to the current air transport market conditions, as well as the needs of the public and major tourism and festival programs.
The aviation authority also requires airlines to regularly inspect and monitor the electronic ticket sales system and agency channels, identifying and addressing activities related to ticket sales, price declarations, and listing violations of legal regulations and airline policies.
In fact, both Vietnam Airlines and Bamboo Airways have recently added more aircraft to their fleets. Bamboo Airways has just received an Airbus A320 on wet lease from Royal Air Philippines. This is the third aircraft the airline has added to its fleet since the beginning of the year.
Meanwhile, a representative of Vietnam Airlines stated that the airline will receive an additional three Airbus A320neo aircraft this year, with the first one expected to arrive in early July, the peak period of this summer’s tourism season.
According to Planespotter statistics, Vietnam Airlines currently has a total of 91 aircraft. Meanwhile, Vietjet Air has 85 aircraft, Bamboo Airways has 7 aircraft, and Vietravel Airlines has 3 aircraft. Pacific Airlines recently resumed operations with 3 aircraft, providing nearly 1,000 flights, equivalent to over 180,000 seats during the peak travel season.
It is anticipated that an entertainment complex with a total area of over 11,000 square meters and an investment of more than 300 billion VND will be constructed on Xuan Dieu Street (Quy Nhon City, Binh Dinh Province) to develop the night economy.
On July 1st, information from the People’s Committee of Binh Dinh Province revealed that the provincial leaders have basically agreed on the planning proposal for an entertainment service project on Xuan Dieu Street (Quy Nhon City), as proposed by the People’s Committee of Quy Nhon City and the Department of Construction. This project aims to develop the night economy in Quy Nhon.
Xuan Dieu coastal road will be the place to build the entertainment service project
Accordingly, the entertainment service project on Xuan Dieu Street is named Galina Quy Nhon Beach Park, with an investment scale divided into two parts. The above-ground part covers an area of about 4,600 square meters and includes the upgrading of the green park area combined with various types of entertainment, a luxury shopping area, a beer club, and night light shows.
The underground part will be an entertainment complex. The first underground floor, with an area of about 4,500 square meters, will include a pub club, a multi-purpose club, restaurants, a cinema, a spa, and massage services. The mezzanine basement, covering about 2,000 square meters, will include a spa and pub club, with a basement depth of about 6.5 meters. Thus, the total area of the entire complex is approximately 11,100 square meters.
The daily operation time will be from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. the following day (except for certain business types that are subject to specific operating hours as regulated). The investment cost is approximately 300 billion VND.
The construction of the entertainment service project will promote the development of the night economy in Quy Nhon
Regarding the project, the Binh Dinh Province has a few notes: For the above-ground area, no permanent structures will be built, and the construction density will be low; only a few kiosks made of modern, suitable materials will be arranged. The area must maintain its current function as a public park, with no fences or fees that would affect people’s access to the beach.
Additionally, no large restaurant businesses will be organized. The planning should harmoniously arrange parking lots and public sanitation facilities within the overall area of Quy Nhon Square and the pedestrian street.
Mr. Nguyen Phuong Nam, Deputy Chairman of Quy Nhon City, shared: “The entertainment complex will be built along Xuan Dieu Street, facing the sea. This project will contribute to promoting the development of the night economy in Quy Nhon.”
The payment platform Payoo recorded that spending on dining services accounted for 40% of the total expenditures by international tourists in Vietnam.

Specifically, the proportion of spending by internationally-issued cards for dining services was 40%; for fashion and cosmetics, it was about 14%; for jewelry and watches, approximately 12%; and for supermarkets and convenience stores, more than 10%. This partly reflects the attractiveness of Vietnamese cuisine to international tourists.
Payoo is one of the leading payment intermediaries in Vietnam. To date, Payoo’s services cover over 99% of the districts, towns, and cities nationwide. Payoo connects with more than 100 banks, financial companies, insurance companies, and over 2,000 business partners.
The increase in international tourists’ spending is partly due to the strong recovery of the tourism sector, with the number of international tourists continuously rising. According to the General Statistics Office, in the first five months of 2024, nearly 7.6 million international tourists visited Vietnam, an increase of 65% compared to the same period last year and nearly 4% compared to the same period in 2019, before the Covid-19 pandemic. Experts have assessed that Vietnam’s new visa policy has somewhat created an attraction and significantly increased the competitiveness of Vietnam’s tourism industry.

With the development of the culinary tourism sector after the Covid-19 pandemic, the Michelin Guide decided to enter Vietnam in December 2023. This organization has awarded stars to restaurants and eateries in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and most recently, Da Nang. Recently, the Michelin Guide announced the 2024 list in Vietnam.
Accordingly, 164 restaurants and establishments were honored, with 58 dining establishments receiving the Bib Gourmand award (28 new establishments and one restaurant transferred from Michelin Selected), and 99 dining establishments receiving the Michelin Selected award with 40 new establishments; seven restaurants received the Michelin Star award.
The Michelin Guide’s expansion into Vietnam has generated significant attention and interest from international tourists. When a restaurant, hotel, or tourist destination in Vietnam is reviewed and recommended in the Michelin Guide, it attracts the attention of international tourists, especially those who enjoy unique culinary experiences and local culture.

X has been the foundation of so many brands’ social presence. Millions of people and companies have used it to help establish a strong brand identity. Moreover, due to its vast user base, X presents the perfect opportunity to drive traffic and engage with a global audience.
But if you’re not thrilled with your X growth and engagement, you’re not alone. Competition on the platform is very intense. And with the constant updates, cracking the code of X’s algorithm can be tricky.
All in all, taking steps to grow your audience is absolutely worth it. This is because there are more opportunities to delight your customers when your audience is larger. That said, this article will explore effective strategies for increasing X followers.
Understanding the Importance of Twitter Followers
Having a large following on X is important for several reasons. It first gives you a more trustworthy appearance. Others are more likely to view you as a reliable source of information if they notice that you have a sizable following.
Having more followers expands your reach as well. You have the opportunity to reach a wider audience with each tweet you post, increasing the likelihood that people will engage with it, share it, and go viral.
Finally, social proof is offered by a sizable follower count. It sends a message to other users that your content is worthwhile and deserving of attention, which may draw in additional followers. It helps you accomplish your objectives and stand out even more.
Top Ways to Boost Your X Followers Count
Are you prepared to improve your online presence and acquire more Twitter followers? What you need to do to make it happen is broken down in detail in this post.
1) Buy X Followers
Buying X followers is one of the quickest ways to get more followers on the platform. It can instantly increase your following and give the impression that your profile is trustworthy and well-liked.
But if this is the option you want, you need to make sure you choose a reliable service. For the best results, buy X followers from Media Mister. They provides 100% genuine followers from actual users.
Moreover, they have high retention rates, secure payment methods, and a 30-day refund guarantee in case you are unhappy with the results. Buying X followers on Media Mister can help jumpstart your growth and attract real followers who are genuinely interested in your content.
2) Research Your Competitors
Analyzing your competition is the key to knowing good methods for growing followers. When you investigate what successful accounts in your field do, you can learn important things about their strategies and cleverly adjust them to yours. Begin by determining the primary rivals who have a sizable and engaged fan base.
Take note of their behaviors, such as the types of content they share, the frequency with which they post, and the hashtags they use. Keep an eye on their follower interaction rates and engagement rates. This analysis might help you see patterns and tactics that can be used to increase your X followers efficiently.
3) Know Your Audience
Knowing your audience is essential to increasing your X following. Knowing your followers’ identities, interests, and peak activity times will help you produce content that will resonate with them more effectively.
Collect data from X Analytics to understand more about your present followers. This information can include their age group, location, interests, and how they engage with tweets. These details will guide your content strategy. It will help you post tweets that align with what the majority of your audience appreciates.
4) Optimize Your X Bio
Make a good first impression with your X bio, as it is one of the first things users see when they visit your profile. Your bio should clearly communicate who you are and what you have to offer in order to draw in new followers.
Add an attention-grabbing description, a call to action, and pertinent keywords. Make sure the photos on your profile and cover represent your brand and are of excellent quality. Having an optimized bio can help you show up in relevant searches and persuade users to follow you.
5) Utilize Trending Hashtags
Hashtags have been a long-standing feature of X. They improve the visibility of your tweets by making them more discoverable to a larger audience. Using trending and relevant hashtags allows you to join larger conversations and reach potential followers who are interested in those topics.
However, understand that simply dumping hashtags into your posts will not produce the desired results. If gaining a large number of followers is what you want, then spend some time studying the specific tags related to your industry. Use them in a manner that seems fitting within your tweets to improve interaction without coming off as spammy.
6) Post at the Right Time
When it comes to timing, this is very important in getting the most visibility and engagement for your tweets. Making sure you post when your audience is active guarantees that people see and interact with what you tweet.
Find out the ideal posting times by studying the activity patterns of your audience through X Analytics or other tools such as Hootsuite. In general, the early morning, lunchtime, and evening hours are when most people engage with tweets.
But this can change depending on your particular audience. Try different times for posting and observe the outcomes to discover your best schedule. Posting at the most suitable time can boost reach and interaction considerably.
7) Interact With Your Audience
Interacting with your audience is crucial to creating a strong following on X. Answer comments, retweet fascinating content, and include mentions of followers in your tweets to express gratitude for their backing.
By joining in conversations and recognizing what the audience brings, you show yourself as genuine and trustworthy. This increases your bond with present followers and brings in new ones.
Keep in mind that the X Algorithm gives importance to accounts that encourage substantial connections. Concentrate on boosting engagement to enhance visibility, and you will naturally expand the number of people following you on X.
8) Join X Communities
Communities on X, like Twitter Chats and Lists, are excellent for finding people with similar interests and increasing your influence. Joining a Twitter Chat lets you interact with a wider group of individuals who are interested in specific subjects.
You can find relevant chats by searching for hashtags or using tools. Creating and joining X Lists helps you organize and follow conversations within specific groups, making it easier to engage with potential followers regularly. Active participation in these communities can enhance your visibility and attract followers who share your interests.
Conclusion
In conclusion, X remains one of the best platforms for building online presence and attracting qualified leads. But as we’ve seen, due to the high rate of competition on the platform, gaining lots of followers has become quite a challenge. Luckily, if you follow the strategies discussed in this article, you can build a large following and maximize your impact on X.

Recently, the renowned UK travel magazine National Geographic Traveller announced its 2024 list of Lakeside and Mountain Resorts.
Topas Ecolodge is the sole representative from Vietnam to appear in this prestigious list, marking the first time a Vietnamese resort has been recognized in this category.

National Geographic Traveller’s list features approximately 60 of the most beautiful and unique lakeside and mountain destinations worldwide.

South Korea has just announced an extension of the pilot program for the expanded issuance of group travel visas for citizens of three Southeast Asian countries, including Vietnam, for an additional two years.

On June 27, the Ministry of Justice of South Korea announced a two-year extension of the pilot program for the expanded issuance of group travel visas for citizens of three Southeast Asian countries, including Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia.
This program was initially implemented as a pilot in June of last year to attract tourists from these three countries. According to the program, the criteria for issuing group visas, initially restricted to “corporate incentive tour groups and groups of over five people on educational tours,” have been changed to include “regular tour groups of over three people.”
The group travel visa is a simplified visa with streamlined documentation and review procedures. Thanks to this regulation, the number of group tourists entering South Korea from Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia doubled from 23,700 at the beginning of 2023 to 47,400 by the end of that year. In the first five months of 2024, the number of group tourists from these three countries entering South Korea reached 56,400, maintaining an upward trend.
According to the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO), Vietnam was the largest source of international tourists from Southeast Asia to South Korea in 2023 and the first four months of 2024. During the first four months of 2024, South Korea welcomed over 167,000 Vietnamese tourists, an increase of over 32% compared to the same period last year and a recovery to 97% of the same period in 2019.
At the same time, South Korea was also the top source of international tourists to Vietnam. In April 2024 alone, over 846,400 South Korean tourists visited Vietnam, accounting for 31% of the more than 2.7 million South Korean tourists traveling to Southeast Asian countries.
The New Zealand Herald (NZ Herald) recently described Hoi An as one of the most beautiful destinations in Vietnam and highly recommended it as a place to visit.
Katie Lockhart, a writer for NZ Herald, offered several suggestions for first-time visitors to this ancient town in Vietnam. According to Lockhart, enjoying coffee at small street-side cafes is one of the most unique experiences in Hoi An.
“You shouldn’t miss the chance to try a variety of impressive coffees here, including coconut coffee, salted coffee, or iced milk coffee,” Lockhart said.

Once known as one of the busiest and most vibrant trading ports for centuries, Hoi An is famous for its bespoke souvenirs such as hats, lanterns, and traditional dresses (ao dai).
In particular, it is also dubbed the “paradise” of street food. According to Lockhart, just walking down any street in Hoi An, visitors can find numerous delicious dishes at reasonable prices.
“Don’t forget to visit Tran Cao Van street to enjoy the signature Hoi An banh mi at Madam Khanh’s, then you can walk across the street to taste the local specialty cao lau at Cao Lau Lien.
If you still have room in your stomach, walk a few more meters to Mi Quang 92 to savor the best version of this dish,” NZ Herald suggested.
Additionally, the newspaper advises tourists to explore the ancient town of Vietnam by bicycle, which most accommodations provide for borrowing. For those who wish to travel further, renting a motorbike or using ride-hailing apps is easy.
In recent years, Hoi An has consistently attracted global media attention. Recently, the prestigious architectural magazine Architectural Digest listed Tran Phu street in Hoi An among the most beautiful streets in the world.
The famous American travel site Travel Off Path revealed that Hoi An is among the top 7 trending destinations in the world for 2024.
Vietnam’s ancient town also surpassed many well-known places such as the Maldives and Venice, becoming the second favorite destination in Tripadvisor’s list of 25 dream honeymoon destinations for 2024.
