Sienkiewicz promotes Vietnam tourism in Russia
Vov/Hanoitimes 15:31, 2014/03/05
The Moscow State Institute for Industry of Tourism (MGIIT) recently posthumously honoured Yuri Aleksandrovich Sienkiewicz for his significant contributions to promoting Vietnam and its culture in Russia.

The gathering was attended by a large number of representatives from the Russian Tourism Association, Russian travel agents, Vietnam Airlines and Vietnamese and Russian friends.

Eleven years ago Sienkiewicz produced a film about Vietnam which quickly gained wide notoriety throughout Russia, touting famous tourist destinations in the country, including HCM City, Cu Chi tunnels, Hanoi, and world heritage sites of Hoi An and Ha Long Bay.

The film was subsequently screened at an untold number of exhibitions and tourism fairs in Russia, and is regarded as the most significant factor in the ballooning rise of Russian people visiting Vietnam in recent years.

Participants at the gathering reminisced about Sienkiewicz’s trip to Vietnam in 2003 – the last in his life.

Nguyen Huu Tung, Chief Representative of Vietnam Airlines in Russia, said Russian tourists to Vietnam doubled from 2011 to 2013.

The impressive growth shows that Vietnam is a safe, beautiful and potential destination for Russian people.

The Sienkiewicz’s film delegation could not imagine the impressive impact its film would generate.
