Carrying the message “Connecting Heritage - Reaching the Blue Sea”, the first flight provides a more convenient travel option for visitors from Khanh Hoa and southern provinces to Quang Tri. Direct air connectivity with Khanh Hoa, one of the major tourism hubs in the South Central Coast region, will enable Quang Tri to access domestic and international visitor markets via Cam Ranh International Airport, while promoting the province's distinctive tourism products to a broader market.

Quang Tri and Khanh Hoa have complementary tourism strengths. While Khanh Hoa is well known for its beaches, islands, and resort tourism, Quang Tri has strengths in heritage, historical and revolutionary tourism, ecotourism, and nature-based exploration, including the cave system and landscapes of Phong Nha - Ke Bang. Direct connectivity between the two localities creates favorable conditions for developing inter-regional tours, routes, and experiential programs, diversifying tourism products, and extending visitors' length of stay.
