Saigontourist Travel Recognized for Outstanding Contributions at Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Review Conference 2025

On December 30, 2025, at Rex Hotel Saigon, Saigontourist Travel Service reaffirmed its leading role in Vietnam’s inbound tourism sector by actively participating in the Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Industry Review Conference 2025 and Key Tasks for 2026, organized by the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism.

At the conference, Mr. Nguyen Huu Y Yen, Chairman of the Members’ Council of Saigontourist Travel Service Company (a key member of Saigontourist Group), was honored with a Certificate of Merit from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism, recognizing the company’s consistent and meaningful contributions to the city’s tourism development and international promotion efforts.

The high-level event gathered representatives from the Vietnam National Authority of Tourism, the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, the Department of Tourism, relevant government agencies, and leading tourism enterprises. The conference reviewed the city’s tourism performance in 2025 and outlined strategic priorities for 2026, with a strong focus on quality growth, sustainability, and inbound market recovery.

Green Tourism Strategy 2026: A Sustainable Path Forward

Within the conference framework, Mr. Nguyen Huu Y Yen presented Saigontourist Travel’s 2026 strategic orientation under the theme “Green Tourism Development – An Inevitable Direction in the Era of Sustainable Growth.” The strategy emphasizes responsible travel products, operational optimization, and close collaboration with local communities and destinations.

This green tourism approach is being implemented through a series of city tours and thematic products for the 2025–2030 period, highlighting cultural heritage, historical narratives, river-based experiences, and urban green spaces. The programs also encourage environmentally friendly mobility options such as walking tours, metro lines, public buses, and water buses—contributing to a modern, dynamic, and sustainable image of Ho Chi Minh City for international visitors.

Strengthening Trust with International Markets

A key milestone in Saigontourist Travel’s sustainability journey was achieving Travelife Partner certification in 2024, marking its alignment with international standards for sustainable tourism management. This certification provides a strong foundation for expanding green and responsible inbound travel products, particularly for long-haul and high-value markets such as Europe.

With decades of experience, strong institutional partnerships, and a clear commitment to sustainability, Saigontourist Travel continues to position itself as a trusted inbound tour operator in Vietnam, ready to accompany Ho Chi Minh City in a new era of growth—where tourism is not only an economic driver, but also a bridge connecting culture, values, and Vietnamese identity with the world.
