What are your main markets?
Singapore and Japan are at the forefront of our inbound business. The domestic MICE market is booming and we are optimistic to be one of the best Vietnamese DMCs for Europe too.

How many staff do you have in Asia?
A 300-strong team that operates from nine locations in both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, representing MICE and additional travel-related services.

What type of events do you specialise in?
Meetings, incentives, product launches, teambuilding, VIP services and golf tournaments.

What is the best event you have done?
The delegation accompanying Japanese premier Shinzo Abe when he attended the Apec CEO Summit in Hanoi in 2006. The city had never before had 21 heads of state visiting at the same time. It was a huge logistical challenge, Noi Bai Airport was used like a bus station – many aircraft landed for disembarkation and diverted to Da Nang for parking. All our VIP guests went home happy.

Name some of your recent clients.
Fujitsu, Nokia, Manulife, Schroeders, HSBC, Prudential, Standard Chartered Bank.
