Vietnam honours HG Travel

HANOI Southeast Asian destination management company, HG Travel, has been recognised as one of the Vietnam’s “leading inbound tour operators” at the annual Vietnam Tourism Awards.

Now in their 16th year, the national awards recognise tourism companies that have demonstrated excellence in their products and client services.

Ms Nguyen Thi Tuyet, managing director of HG Travel Indochina (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia), received the award on behalf of the company at a prestigious award ceremony held earlier this month at the Hanoi Opera House.

“HG Travel currently handles 50,000 inbound arrivals from regional and global source markets,” said Nguyen Thi Tuyet. “We’re truly honoured to have been recognised for our contribution to tourism in Vietnam.”

Presented annually by the Vietnam Tourism Association, in partnership with the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, the Vietnam Tourism Award are the most coveted accolades for local and international tourism enterprises operating in the country.

“This year’s award is even more special as it accompanies the 56th anniversary of Vietnam Tourism Day,” said HG Holdings CEO Tran Thanh Nam. “It also comes on the back of the recent extension of visa exemptions for visitors from some of our key source markets.”

The accolade is particularly timely given HG Travel’s strategic Asia-wide rollout plan over the next 12 months.

The Hanoi-headquartered DMC is establishing an operational network in the region manned by seasoned experts in all key markets to bolster its presence in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar.
