Leading Specialist Luxury Tour Operator, Luxury Travel Ltd, is Rewarded for its Excellent Performances in 2013/2014

Vietnam’s first luxury travel and tour operator (www.luxurytravelvietnam.com) celebrates its 10-year anniversary in leading luxury tourism in Vietnam by receiving a prestigious travel award.

Hanoi, Vietnam, September 29, 2014 - In cooperation with the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT), the Vietnam Economic Times, together with its tourism and hospitality magazine, The Guide, willaward the stars of the travel and hotel industry in Vietnam at a glitteringceremony of The Guide Awards on the 20th September 2014at the Amiana Resort inNha Trang.


Luxury Travel is honored and grateful to be offered this distinction when once again it receives an award, the seventh since 2007, attesting to the fact that its teams maintain their high standards and always go above and beyond the expectations of their clients during their trip to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar or Thailand.

This reward from The Guide is decided by its executives, after discussions between travel, hotel, restaurant and shopping experts, including representatives of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. It also takes into account social media (such as Trip Advisor reviews) to reflect feedback from the public as well as the experience of readers of The Guide who vote online or by post.

This voting process is really meaningful for a travel agency. The readers’ feedback is unbelievably important and is a key factor in helping the tourism sector create new products and work towards improving its standards of service. That is why being given an awardseven times in a row by The Guide is, in effect, being rewarded by the customers and people who experience our services, which makes this award even more valuable to us.

Since its creation 10 years ago, as the first Vietnamese specialist luxury tour operator to create luxury fully bespoke tours for boththe leisure and incentive markets, Luxury Travel is meticulous in providing the best experiences and service for each of its clients, whoare treated as VIPs deserving of the highest standards.

Luxury Travel promotes a style of travel that goes beyond the idea of the conventional sightseeing packages, focusing on immersing clients in the local culture and venturing out to lesser-known destinations. The key thing sophisticated travelers want today is personal service and the opportunity to have unique encounters with a destination’s culture, history and people – something they can’t Google.

“Our teams are very happy to see that their hard work and efforts are rewarded.I am proud of the whole luxers team - you know how to provide a “wow” service to our most sophisticated travelers. Luxury Travel Ltd wouldn't be as successful today without you.”said Pham Ha, founder and CEO of Luxury Travel Ltd.
