WTM London is more than just a tradeshow that paves the way for the growth and development of the industry but shapes the future of travel and tourism. It is like a global meet where industry professionals, investors, influencers, journalists, students, and tourism ministry departments connect, learn and identify commercial opportunities to do business partnerships with an aim of sharing economy.

Luxury Travel Ltd. is highly optimistic with WTM 2018 edition because of its revolutionary approach towards tours and activities sector through digitalization. The company’s Founder CEO, Mr. Pham Ha and Director of Sales and Marketing, Mr. Phan Trong Thang will be attending the event at Stand: AS890 with a special focus towards “Touching the Heritage of Vietnam”. With great hope and expectation towards new business alliances and ideas, Mr. Ha said, “WTM London is always the most important annual business meet for the global tourism industry to develop and deepen our business alliances with our existing and new merchants to expand our brand reach and luxury travel services to broader audiences in a more effective way. This year, WTM 2018 will add value to our expertise, highlighting the tours and activities sector that still seeks huge digital development. Presently the online penetration of this segment is less than 15%.”

Luxury Travel to Touch the Heritage of Vietnam at WTM 2018.

Complementing its all-inclusive 5-star cruise services in Halong Bay and Nha Trang under the brand name of Emperor Cruises, this year Luxury Travel Ltd. will be introducing its latest launch, Heritage Cruises that has been conceptualized and designed to touch the heritage of Vietnam across the Red River and Gulf of Tonkin. Launching in May 2019, Heritage Cruises is the first 4-star boutique cruise in Vietnam that will be sailing through the Red River and Gulf of Tonkin reconnecting culture and heritage of Northern Vietnam. This will be an exclusive cruise experience for 40 guests aboard with a medley of experiential activities with the locals like spotting endangered wildlife in secluded lagoons and Cat Ba National Park, fishing and visiting Lan Ha Bay fishing villages, kayaking through the Gulf of Tonkin and so on.

Heritage Cruises phenomenal experience is ideal for charters, honeymooners, heritage enthusiasts, free independent travelers, families, leisure travelers, and celebrities. The first-of-its-kind onboard floating exhibition at L’Art de l’Annam art gallery is one the gems that sparkle amidst the emerald ripples of Gulf of Tonkin. Mr. Ha said, “Boutique cruises are similar to boutique hotels as they are also characterized by the intimate ambiance and idiosyncratic elegance. They are distinguished from larger chain cruises through the style of personalized attention and services, themed accommodation sets and a story to narrate. Heritage Cruises also want to create memorable moments focusing on the local culture and arts touched on the way while ensuring utter luxury and sophistication for its guests.”

He continued, “Travel is all about places, experiences, and memories. We will first sail this brand through the karst seascape of the Cat Ba Archipelago, linking to Van Don, then we will cruise upstream and downstream from the highlands to the capital, Hanoi, and the Gulf of Tonkin over 8 days, following the old river trading waterway, Hanoi-Pho Hien-Van Don. My goal is to gradually build maritime connections from north to south, staying two or three nights in each destination, as part of a 10-14-day expedition.”

Owing to location advantage of WTM London, Luxury Travel Vietnam highly focuses on British and Irish markets along with other global regions as these are one of the major markets for promoting Southeast Asia tourism. Overall Southeast Asia is one of the most attractive zones in the Asia Pacific that is attracting millions of tourists every year and the steep rise indicates a positive and sustainable growth until 2025. Besides highlighting its luxury travel packages with experiential traveling as the key focus for leisure and business trips, Luxury Travel Ltd. is also keen to develop some new business alliances and close deals in WTM London for its MICE services and special interest tourism in all its five countries of operation, viz.
