Vietnam’s tourism industry had been growing at an unprecedented rate, from just half a million visitors in 1993 to 4.5 million visitors by the year 2008, reflecting Vietnam’s growing popularity as a destination of choice in the Asia Pacific. However, much of its growth was relatively uncontrolled with many small players acting as agents rather than operators which often left a negative gap in customer expectations of the delivery of services promised. In this scenario, the  founders were determined to build a credible company committed to the principles of responsible travel and a culture of sharing.

Andy says, “Responsible travel is about traveling and operating in a way that addresses our concerns for the environmental, cultural and social impacts of tourism: to retain the integrity of sensitive ecosystems, to maintain the traditions and natural character of communities our travelers interact with and generally to preserve the natural and cultural heritage for which visitors come to Vietnam, besides  our responsibility to leave a positive legacy for future generations.”

Chi adds, “We endeavor to benefit both travelers and local communities in a sustainable manner which has been our commitment since the company’s inception. Today, in the face of global environmental degradation, social and economic upheaval and transitions, our commitment is stronger than ever. We have developed a clear set of criteria and practices from the grassroots up to demonstrate our corporate and personal ethic of responsible travel and of sharing the benefits of tourism with local communities. We expect that our travelers will share this ethic with us.”

Quyet adds another dimension to the ethic of responsible travel and sharing; “Internally, our responsibility extends to our relationships with our staff, strategic partners, suppliers and vendors… to empower them to grow with us with an equitable share of the rewards, towards a common vision and ultimately to mutually deliver our promises to our customers consistently. “

In 2006, Asiana Travel Mate’s first office was set up in the bustling tourist centre of Ho Chi Minh City. In that year, Vietnam recorded 3.8 million tourist arrivals and the company quickly began securing a significant market share based on the quality of its customized services and commitment to its travelers. In late 2007 the company extended its reach with an office in the capital city of Hanoi that spurred its growth further.  Read more...

The Vietnamese Dong has recently performed very weak against foreign currencies. According to online travel experts ActiveTravel Asia ( http://www.activetravel.asia ), this will be a great advantage to attract foreign travelers who are looking to travel abroad, especially like Australian. The Dong has achieved the lowest exchange rate with Australian and the US dollar and is also sitting in a position of weak against numerous other currencies. Information from Vietnam State Bank shows weak exchanges between currencies in China, Japanese, Euro, Australian and Britain and many other countries. Analysts at the Vietnam Commercial Banks expect the Dong to remain weak for a significant period of time.

Bobby Nguyen, MD of ActiveTravel Asia says: “Given the state of the global economy many people are understandably worried about money. That is why the weak of the Dong is encouraging as people will be able to travel Vietnam without spending too much. It is especially good to see low exchange rates with popular destinations like United State of America, Australia and Great Britain. Travelers have always had a strong attachment to travel and the strength of the dollar means they can continue to do so despite tough economic times.”

Information from Vietnam Administration of Tourism shows that foreign travelers like Australia, United State of America, United Kingdom and other European countries are travelling into Vietnam more in recent months. The numbers in October show short-term arrival around 18%, especially during Hanoi’s 1000 anniversary festival over a similar period last year. This follows a steady increase of arrival throughout September and October. In response to these figures Bobby concludes: “These statistics show that foreign travelers are once again travelling in significant numbers to Vietnam and Indochina. The strong dollar has definitely affected this and helped boost numbers. We are looking forward to helping our clients to book great trips in Vietnam and Indochina in the coming months which will take advantage of the current situation and allow them to get the most out of every single Dong that they spend in Vietnam.”
