Luxury Travel is known as the first travel company in Vietnam to exploit upmarket travel. Since it’s founding in 2004, the company has affirmed its No. 1 position in this upscale market in Vietnam.
A pioneer in the luxury travel market
Each year, Luxury Travel welcomes more than 10,000 VIP passengers, including key figures like Canadian Deputy Prime Minister, French ministers, ambassadors of many countries in the world, CEO of Oman Oil Company, and Oman Royal ministers and statesmen. The company also arranged many important events for world-leading companies like AT&T Company of Australia and Philips Electronics Hong Kong.
To meet the growing travel demand of international visitors in Vietnam, Luxury Travel plans to continue opening new markets in 2010, especially for tourists joining MICE programmes (Meeting, Incentive, Convention and Exhibition).
Mr Pham Ha, Director of Luxury Travel Company, said: “The number of high-class MICE customers at Luxury Travel is growing, which has helped us expand our market share and become the top-tier MICE tour operator in Vietnam.”
With its strengths and experience in organising luxury tours to other ASEAN countries such as Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and Myanmar, Luxury Travel is the top choice for classy MICE tourists when they visit Vietnam. Many tours cost US$1,000 per person per day.
In 2010, Luxury Travel is targeting US$30 million revenues, and the revenue growth will stay at the two-digit level over the next five years.
Sustainable tourism development
In order to further improve service quality, Luxury Travel always renovates and applies advanced management and operating software to meet increasing customer requirements.
Assessing the Vietnamese tourism development potential, Mr Ha said: “Vietnam is a beautiful country but it remains a hidden charm. We need to learn from the tourism industry of Thailand, where there are not as many beautiful landscapes as in Vietnam.”
“To spur the development of the tourism industry, the Government should regard tourism as a key economic sector in the national economy, effectively promote the development of the upscale tourism market, exempt visas for visitors from key markets like France, Germany, Britain, Australia and New Zealand, train more tourism professionals to help travel companies to exploit the country’s tourism potential, while creating a healthy competition environment for travel companies,” Mr Ha concluded.
