Hanoi,
Vietnam, May 13, 2013 -- "Besides having a passion for
travelling, reading, walking and golf, I love to seek luxury,"
admits Pham Ha, the CEO of Luxury Travel Ltd
http://www.luxurytravelvietnam.com.
He's
not alone. As Vietnam's economy strengthens, the tourism industry is
inevitably expanding its own horizons. Once considered as more of a
backpacker destination, now with growing high-end options, Vietnam is
attracting a different kind of tourist.
Options
might still be considered limited and infrastructure below
international standards. But that's where Ha's company steps in. On a
mission to promote the luxurious side of Vietnam, Ha hopes to coax
more high-end travelers and businesspeople to the country.
But
that doesn't mean just booking five-star hotels and fancy dinners for
a whirlwind tour along Vietnam's coastline. He admits he's haunted by
one former clients' indifferent dismissal of Vietnam as "beautiful
but boring," so his company goes the whole nine yards to ensure
customers have the holiday of a lifetime.
The
philosophy of Luxury Travel (http://www.luxurytravelvietnam.com)
is to find top quality services, unique experiences and
sophistication and create perfect packages for the most discerning of
travellers. Ha knows that to have a dream vacation the traveller must
experience pleasure, comfort and total satisfaction.
Whether
the client wants to hide in the tropical jungle, kick back on the
beach, discover Vietnam's culinary delights, trek to a hill tribe
village or relax in style in a luxury vacation villa, Luxury Travel
Vietnam will come up with the goods - minimizing on travel time and
maximizing experiences.
"Simply
envision any vacation experience you want, name it, and we will
deliver it in style - that's Luxury Travel," he stresses.
As
a child, Ha had always dreamed of travelling around the world. After
graduating from Hanoi Teachers' Training College and National
Economics University, Ha worked as a teacher but soon wanderlust set
in and he quit teaching to take a job as a tour guide, tour operator,
PR, sales and marketing man.
After
12 years in the industry, Pham Ha found his own business in 2004
providing luxury tours in Vietnam. Besides providing sightseeing
tours, Luxury Travel also arranges accommodation, airport transfers,
regional flights, train tickets, visas, superior guides and other
logistics in advance. The company guides speak Vietnamese, Chinese,
English, French and German and are selected for their
open-mindedness, motivation and enthusiasm.
"It
may be my fate. Firstly, I do this because I want to satisfy my
passion to discover," says Ha. "But it's also my pleasure
to introduce the beauty of Vietnam to foreigners." To turn a
private passion into a tourist business, Pham Ha had to be patient.
"In
the beginning, I had 12 years of work experience but not so much
money!" says Ha with a smile.
Despite
his meager savings of $1,000, Ha was determined to pursue his dream.
Now four years later, his company employs 60 luxury travel advisors
and top guides, owns a fleet of Mercedes and has offices in Hanoi, Ho
Chi Minh City and Danang and management offices in South East Asia.
Each
of the guides must be an expert traveler and know how to make the
client's travel experience truly special, truly hassle-free, and
truly enriching.
"I
love my country and its destinations, and I do my best to make sure
that my customers feel the same way," says Ha.
Ha
aims to introduce a contemporary Vietnam - a country that is young,
dynamic and exotic. Beyond the cyclos, pho and ao dai, Vietnam is
gaining a reputation for its breathtaking beaches, luxurious resorts
and golf courses.
"It's
not difficult to find luxury hotels. Now is the time for upscale
travelers and MICE to come to Vietnam," says Ha.
At
Ha's office, there is a visitors' book which is filled with entries
by satisfied customers.
"We
recently returned from our wonderful 15 day journey to Vietnam and
Cambodia arranged by Luxury Travel Vietnam," writes Pamela
Solvang. "We can't thank you enough for providing such an
excellent travel experience for us from start to finish. The three of
us on this trip have all traveled extensively, all around the world.
We have used the best luxury travel companies in the US and elsewhere
and can attest that Luxury
Travel provides excellent services!"
Attention
to detail sums up Ha's approach very well. He knows high-end
travelers don't settle for below standard services, even if Vietnam
is still a developing country, tours must run smoothly.
As
Vietnam continues to assert its presence on the world stage, the
number of visitors is surging and Ha is confidently waiting, ready to
accommodate those who are looking to bask in the lap of luxury.
