HÀ NỘI — Việt Nam’s online travel agent and start-up Hahalolo launched its first social travel site in HCM City on Monday.

The site, also an e-commerce platform, enables users to interact online, connecting travel agents, tour operators and retailers with their customers.

It operates on the website www.hahalolo.com and mobile app Hahalolo, which is available on iOS and Android operation systems.
