To celebrate Vietnam Airlines introducing the first direct flights from the UK to Vietnam this winter, Imaginative Traveller is offering a £50 discount per person on a selection of trips in 2012.

The twice-weekly routes from Gatwick to Hanoi and Hoi Chi Minh City will start 9 December, making the mysteries of Saigon, scenery of Hue and charms of Hanoi even more easily accessible. Throughout July Imaginative Traveller, the affordable adventure specialist, will be inviting travellers to take advantage of a £50pp discount which will be valid on all of its tours flying into Saigon and out of Hanoi in 2012 when booked by 31 July.

Imaginative Traveller’s Hiedi Hutchinson commented: “The charms of Vietnam have made it a firm favourite with intrepid travellers for years but, with people becoming increasingly adventurous with their holiday choices, these new flights will certainly help put Vietnam firmly on the tourism radar.”

The £50pp discount is valid across the following small group adventures:
