Vietnamese American writer Eirene Tran Donohue wrote the Netflix movie “A Tourist’s Guide to Love” to showcase a different side of Vietnam to Westerners. Donohue wanted to share the beauty of the country’s landscape, which includes mountains, beaches, and beautiful countryside, and also to highlight the vibrant cities and the joyful spirit of the Vietnamese people.

Celebrate Thai New Year with the Songkran Water Festival

Bangkok, Thailand – Thai New Year or Songkran is one of the most important and beloved festivals in Thailand. This year, the Songkran Water Festival will be celebrated from April 13 to 15, with people from all over the country and around the world expected to join the festivities.

 

Songkran marks the beginning of the traditional Thai solar calendar and is a time of renewal and rebirth. It is celebrated by sprinkling water on Buddha images and on the hands of monks as a sign of respect and to seek blessings for the new year. The festival has evolved into a massive water fight, with people using water guns, hoses, and buckets to splash water on each other as a way of cleansing and refreshing the spirit.

 

In Bangkok, the celebration will take place across the city, with major areas such as Khao San Road, Silom Road, and Siam Square transformed into water-splashing zones. In addition to the water fights, there will be street food, music, and dance performances throughout the city.

 

Apart from Bangkok, other popular destinations for Songkran celebrations include Chiang Mai, Phuket, and Pattaya. Chiang Mai, in particular, is known for its elaborate parades, traditional ceremonies, and cultural performances.

 

Despite the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the Thai government has assured the public that the Songkran Water Festival will proceed with safety measures in place. This includes limiting the number of participants and enforcing social distancing guidelines.

 

The Songkran Water Festival is a must-see event for those looking to experience Thai culture and celebrate the start of a new year. With its colorful traditions and exuberant celebrations, it is no wonder why Songkran is one of the most anticipated events in Thailand.

Lux Travel DMC Celebrates 18 Years Anniversary

(Hanoi, 9/3/2022) Lux Travel Dmc, a leading Destination Management Company, is proud to celebrate its 18th anniversary in the travel industry. Founded in 2005 by Pham Ha, the company has grown to become a trusted and respected brand in the industry, with a strong reputation for providing exceptional service and unforgettable travel experiences. With a team of experienced and dedicated travel experts, Lux Travel has helped thousands of customers plan and enjoy their dream vacations.

Speaking on the occasion of the company’s 18th anniversary, Pham Ha expressed his gratitude to the Lux Travel DMC team for their hard work and dedication over the years: “We would not be as successful and happy as we are today at Lux Group if it weren’t for the wholehearted dedication, creativity, and daily effort of our Luxers. They have always been with us, sharing our journey to bring happiness to others, and many of them have been loyal contributors since the early days of our establishment.”

Pham Ha, the founder and CEO of Lux Travel DMC, has been the driving force behind the company’s success. His vision for Lux Travel DMC has always been to elevate the tourism industry in Vietnam to new heights, by providing visitors with personalized and luxury experiences. However, the early years of Lux Travel DMC were not without challenges, with limited resources and a highly competitive market. Despite this, the company remained focused on its goal and gradually expanded its reach beyond Vietnam to other parts of Southeast Asia

In that journey, Lux Travel has expanded its network of partners and suppliers, enabling the company to offer competitive prices and exclusive deals to its customers. Lux Travel DMC has also expanded its offerings to include Lux Cruise, a luxurious and comfortable way to explore the beauty of Halong Bay, Lan Ha Bay, and Bai Tu Long Bay. 

However, the Covid-19 pandemic posed a significant challenge to Lux Travel, as it did to many businesses around the world. The travel industry was hit hard by the pandemic, with travel restrictions and lockdowns leading to a sharp decline in demand for travel services. Lux Travel had to quickly adapt to the changing situation and implement new measures to ensure the safety and well-being of customers and employees. One of the company campaigns is to provide timely updates and guidance on travel restrictions and safety measures, and work tirelessly to help customers reschedule or cancel their trips. 

Through determination, Lux Travel has emerged from the pandemic stronger than ever.  The company has recently added Sri Lanka to its list of destinations and is planning to expand its offerings to other parts of Asia in the near future. Their efforts have not gone unnoticed. Lux Travel DMC has received several awards and accolades over the years, including the Asia leading tour operator and World Travel Award in 2021 and 2022. 

As Lux Travel DMC celebrates its 18th anniversary and looks towards the future with optimism, the company has chosen the key word of 2023 to be “Together.” In line with this theme, Lux Travel DMC remains committed to promoting responsible and sustainable travel practices that protect the environment and benefit local communities. 

As Lux Travel DMC celebrates its 18th anniversary, the company would like to express its gratitude to its loyal customers, partners, and employees. Lux Travel DMC’s success would not have been possible without their support and trust. The company is looking forward to continuing its journey together with partners and customers.
