The tourism industry in Quang Tri is set to receive a significant boost with the launch of new domestic air routes connecting Dong Hoi, Cam Ranh, and Hanoi. According to Sun Phu Quoc Airways (SPA), a member of Sun Group, the new flight services will officially begin operating on August 16, 2026, creating more convenient travel options for domestic and international visitors while strengthening tourism links across Central Vietnam.
The new routes are expected to improve accessibility to Quang Tri Province, attract more visitors, and support the development of tourism products connecting some of Vietnam’s most attractive destinations.
Dong Hoi – Cam Ranh Route to Operate Three Times Per Week
The new Dong Hoi – Cam Ranh route will be operated using modern Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft with an average capacity of approximately 200 passengers per flight. The service will run three round-trip flights per week on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, providing a direct connection between Quang Tri and Khanh Hoa Province.

New Opportunities for Tourism Development in Quang Tri
The launch of these new air routes reflects ongoing efforts to promote tourism development, expand transportation infrastructure, and strengthen regional tourism cooperation.
With direct access from Cam Ranh, Quang Tri will be better positioned to attract visitors from Southern Vietnam, particularly travelers from Khanh Hoa and neighboring provinces. The route is also expected to increase opportunities for international visitors who enter Vietnam through major gateways and wish to explore lesser-known destinations in Central Vietnam.
Improved air connectivity can help stimulate tourism growth by reducing travel time, increasing visitor numbers, and encouraging longer stays throughout the region.
Supporting the Central Vietnam Heritage Road
One of the most exciting opportunities created by the new flight network is the development of the Central Vietnam Heritage Road, a tourism corridor linking some of the country’s most remarkable cultural, historical, and natural attractions.
The integrated Hanoi – Dong Hoi – Cam Ranh flight network will make it easier for travelers to combine multiple destinations into a single itinerary. Visitors can experience the spectacular caves and national parks of Quang Tri, explore the heritage sites of Central Vietnam, and continue their journey to the beautiful beaches and resorts of Khanh Hoa.
This enhanced connectivity is expected to create more diverse travel experiences and encourage the development of multi-destination tourism packages throughout the region.
Preparing for National Tourism Year – Quang Tri 2027
The introduction of the Dong Hoi – Cam Ranh route and expanded Hanoi services represents an important milestone in preparation for National Tourism Year – Quang Tri 2027.
The new routes are expected to play a key role in welcoming larger numbers of visitors, improving transportation capacity, and supporting the province’s long-term tourism development strategy. They also demonstrate growing confidence in Quang Tri as an emerging destination with significant tourism potential.
Industry experts believe that the success of these services may encourage other airlines to explore additional opportunities and launch new routes to Dong Hoi Airport in the future, further strengthening the province’s accessibility and competitiveness.
A Bright Future for Tourism in Quang Tri
The launch of Sun Phu Quoc Airways’ new Dong Hoi – Cam Ranh and Dong Hoi – Hanoi routes marks an exciting chapter for tourism in Quang Tri. By improving connectivity, attracting new visitor markets, and supporting regional tourism cooperation, these services will contribute to the continued growth of the province’s tourism industry.
As Quang Tri prepares for National Tourism Year 2027, the new flight routes will help position the province as one of Vietnam’s most attractive destinations for travelers seeking natural beauty, cultural heritage, historical landmarks, and authentic local experiences.
