Routes Asia will take place in Vietnam for the first time in 2022, with Da Nang People’s Committee, Da Nang Department of Tourism and IPP Travel Retail being selected as the hosts of the 16th annual route development forum.
The air transport industry will be critical in enabling global economic recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic.
Increased air connectivity delivers substantial economic benefits to a destination – driving trade, tourism, investment, labour supply and market efficiency.
Over the past three years, more than 400 new air services across the Asia-Pacific region have been connected to meetings at Routes events.
As the only dedicated route development event that unites decision makers across the entire region, Routes Asia will deliver a platform for airlines, airports and tourism authorities to develop strategies that will rebuild air connectivity across Asia-Pacific.
Le Trung Chinh, Chairman of Da Nang People’s Committee, said: “Routes Asia will provide a golden opportunity to promote inbound tourism opportunities and drive the socio-economic growth for the city.
“By hosting the event, we will proactively position Da Nang as a hub for entrepreneurship, innovation, logistics, finance and culture.”
Speaking at World Routes, Steven Small, Director of Routes, said: “We are very excited to be working with Da Nang People’s Committee and their strategic partners to bring Routes Asia to the city in 2022.
“Routes Asia will play an integral part in Da Nang achieving its ambitious masterplan to become the socio-economic centre of the country by 2045.”
