Led by Mr. Nguyen Manh Hoa (CEO), Asia Aventura with his co-exhibitor Mai Chau Ecolodge (316/Hall 26C) joined ITB Berlin with big hope to seek more potential partners at our targeted market: adventure travel. With the stand of 21 m2, two open sides, our stand located at an eye-catching position where can attract customers easily.
Asia Aventura brought to the trade show some unique tour program samples as well as uniquely hand-made gifts to introduce to valuable partners. We discussed with many directors and product managers from other companies who would like to broaden their market in Indochina Peninsula and pay attention to sustainable tourism in Vietnam. In comparison with ITB 2014, we attracted more potential tour operators. Even on peak day, we have lunch within just15 minutes. On the weekend members of the general public waited in a long queue to enjoy Vietnamese coffee, peanut candy and be carefully advised tour program to Vietnam and Indochina.
