Luxury
Travel Ltd (www.luxurytravelvietnam.com)
Seeks Growth From Niche Markets and Targets Intra-ASEAN and Muslim
Holiday Markets.
Asia's
economy is still healthy and intra-ASEAN travel is growing
significantly. Arrivals from Malaysia and Indonesia to Vietnam have
rebounded significantly in the past nine months thanks to more direct
flights, and Luxury Travel Ltd. is reaching out to court Muslim
tourists from these markets.
"The
Muslim population within Brunei, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia
shows immense potential. Demand from this segment is picking up and
is expected to increase, thanks to direct flights between Southeast
Asian countries, including the newest flight to HCM City from Jakarta
four times per week. Also, no visa is needed for most citizens
traveling between ASEAN countries." said Pham Ha, founder and
CEO of Luxury Travel Ltd.
"In
order to capitalize on these potential markets, we have launched a
website, created special tours for Muslim travelers, worked with
reputable halal food restaurants, searched out mosque locations and
trained our staff in order to better serve Muslim travelers. We
attend various travel trade shows in individual markets such as TTC
Indonesia and Selangor Matta Islamic Travel Fair in Malaysia. We also
plan to target India, Turkey, and the Middle East in the long run.
And with nearly 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, the potential
market is huge. We expect to receive 600-800 muslim travelers in
2013" added Ha.
According
to Luxury Travel, about 23% of the world population is Muslim. Of
these, around 62% live in Asia - Pacific, 20% in the Middle East-
North Africa, 15% in Sub Saharan Africa, around 3% in Europe and 0.3%
in the Americas.
The
company has launched a new website
http://www.vietnamhalalholidays.com
and will launch a Vietnam guidebook for discerning travelers and
focus on Muslim visitors. Plans are also in place to open a
representative office in Jakarta, to act as a point of contact and
information for Indonesian travel consultants and consumers. Luxury
Travel is positioning itself as the first luxury halal tour and
holiday operator in Indochina.
According
to VNAT, during the first nine months of 2012, the number of visitors
from Malaysia to Vietnam was 210,805, an increase of 125.4 per cent
from the previous period.
Ha
stressed that the number of tourist arrivals increased thanks to
direct flights to Hanoi, Danang and Ho Chi Minh City from Kuala
Lumpur. The company enjoyed 30% percent growth in Central Vietnam,
where Luxury Travel opened a new office a few month ago. The company
will attend Selangor Matta Islamic Travel Fair in Malaysia from 7-9
Dec 2012.
