– Immediately after Vietnam
beat Singapore 1-0 to enter
the semi-finals of AFF Cup 2010, hundreds of fans called travel agents to book
trips to Malaysia, where Vietnam and Malaysia will meet in the first
semi final game on December 15.

A local tourism company, Vietravel, hired two Vietnam
Airlines airplanes, totaling 360 seats, which will both depart from Hanoi and HCM City to Kuala Lumpur
and return from Kuala Lumpur to Vietnam on
December 15, to serve football fans.

The trip from HCM City is priced at VND8.9 million and VND9.9 million
for the trip from Hanoi.

The firm also offers 2-4 day tours to Malaysia, including ticket for the game between Vietnam and the
host.

Hanoi Redtour booked 40 seats on Vietnam Airlines flights to
Malaysia.
Its four-day tours to Malaysia,
plus a ticket to the semifinal match, are priced $469. Nearly 20 tourists
booked the tour on December 9 morning.

Hanoi Tourist said travel firms are worrying about the
shortage of air tickets to Malaysia.
This company only received a booking for a group of 16 people to Malaysia on
December 15.

On online forums, members called on each other to self
organize tours to Malaysia
to watch football.
