HÀ NỘI — With the aspiration to affirm its pioneering position in the field of luxury cruise, Grand Pioneers, has been consistently crafting elegant and sustainable voyages infused with a Vietnamese identity on the world tourism map.
Continuing its remarkable imprint, Grand Pioneers, a brand of Việt Thuận Group, is proud to accompany Việt Nam Travel Day 2025, taking place from November 20 to 23, in Hạ Long, a heritage land and the country's leading tourism centre.
At the event, tourism-related people met with partners and briefly discuss sustainable vision in the current tourism industry.
Based on experience in operating and managing environmentally friendly cruise ships, Grand Pioneers representatives shared some practical insights and approaches to balance tourism development and preserve natural values.
“We believe that the development of Việt Nam tourism can only break through when businesses proactively connect, share resources, and create value together," said Lương Thế Tuyên, deputy director of Việt Thuận Transport Co., Ltd.
"The Việt Nam Travel Day 2025 is a new touchpoint for the entire travel industry to join together on a journey of enhanced growth – not only in quantity, but also in quality and sustainability.”
This sharing is not only professional in meaning but also a commitment of Grand Pioneers to accompany the local authority and business community to build a thriving and nature-friendly tourism industry.
One of key activities at Việt Nam Travel Day 2025 is the B2B Business Connection and Activities Space, on November 21, where tour operators, domestic and international travel businesses met, exchanged, and expanded cooperation.
The session opened up opportunities for bilateral cooperation between travel partners in Asia and Europe, aiming to elevate the image of Hạ Long and Quảng Ninh tourism into the spotlight, reinforcing Việt Nam's position as a leading luxury sea tourism destination in the region.
