10 March 2015

Dear Travel Partners,


 
We are pleased to provide the following news and hotel updates for Vietnam...


 
Vietnam's Pleiku airport to be closed for seven months for upgrades

The Pleiku Airport in the Central Highlands province of Gia Lai will be temporarily shut down for an upgrading project, the terminal's director announced Wednesday. 

 

The airport will be closed between March 15 and October 25 following a request by the Ministry of Transport, according to director Nguyen Trong Hai.  The seven-month closure means all flights to and from the airport will end, he added.

 

Agents in Gia Lai, however, will remain open and sell tickets for flights departing from Buon Ma Thuot Airport in the neighboring province of Dak Lak.  The Pleiku Airport will join hands with Gia Lai's transport department and travel agencies to offer transportation to passengers who want to move from Pleiku to Buon Ma Thuot for departure.

 

 

Pandanus Resort will renovate and upgrade all accommodation

Pandanus Resort, Mui Ne, will undergo a complete renovation and upgrade of all accommodation between 01 May and 31 October this year.   


 
The renovation work in progress should not interfere with the enjoyment of the clients in any way, as renovations will be done on the interior or one building or one area of bungalows at a time.  All guests will be assigned to rooms as far from the work as possible.  The grounds at this resort are quite extensive; therefore the noise generated from the work being done inside the buildings in one area of the resort should not be heard in other areas.
