<p>Luxury Travel Group Vietnam Promotes Destinations and Luxury Tourism Products in ITB Berlin 2009, Germany.</p>
<p><em>Luxury Travel Vietnam will participate in the World Largest International Travel Show &#8220;ITB Berlin 2009,&#8221; to be held from March 11 to 15, 2009 in the city of Berlin, Germany in order to promote the Vietnamese tourism product in the luxury segment.</em></p>
<p>Luxury Travel Vietnam will participate in the World Largest International Travel Show &#8220;ITB Berlin 2009&#8243;, to be held from March 11 to 15, 2009 in the city of Berlin, Germany.</p>
<p>The aim is to promote the Vietnamese tourism product in the luxury segment, which is addressed to people who want to live a unique experience, with personalized service, privacy, tranquility and simplicity. All this in a different destination combining history, culture and cuisine or an exotic destination with an excellent service.</p>
<p>Ha Pham, founder and CEO of the Luxury Travel Company believes the time is ripe for high-end travelers worldwide and luxury german tourists. Vietnam has world class properties to compete with other destinations in the region.</p>
<p>These German luxury travelers are keen to visit and discover the country in lap of luxury. &#8220;luxury adventures, golf, spas, beaches, family travel, junks cruises, honeymoon and romance packages have moved up in terms of favorites for upscale travelers to Vietnam including German travelers. In addition to comfort and security, Vietnam offers warm weather year round, stunning scenery, world class cuisine and luxury shopping. However, many travel companies in Vietnam still sell the same tourism products since 10 years ago, and there are no niche products for this upscale market,&#8221; says Ha.</p>
<p>According to VNAT statistics, most foreign luxury travelers come from Western European countries. 170,000 French tourists from the UK (100,000) and Germany (100,000). The upscale German market has potential for Vietnam tourism, but has not been fully tapped.</p>
<p>Vietnam&#8217;s first luxury tour operator is founded in 2004 to catch this new trend and promote niche tourism products to high end travelers. The company&#8217;s depth of experience and large infrastructure enable it to create unique itineraries with the operational confidence to fulfill client expectations.</p>
<p>Last year, Luxury Travel Vietnam company served 10,000 satisfied customers. Among Luxury Travel&#8217;s clients are ambassadors, senators, Russian millionaires, CEOs and presidents of Oman Oil Company, royalty and Oman Royal Government ministers, French ministers, Deputy Prime Minister of Canada&#8230;and others.</p>
<p>VNAT targets to lure 6 millions in 2010, the company targets only at 3% of these figures.

Daring to tackle the controversial theme of doomed lovers &#8230;
