Luxury Travel, an award winning luxury travel and tour operator in Vietnam, announced the addition of Marie Garcia as its Sales & Marketing Senior Executive at its Hanoi Head Office.

“We expect good French traffic to Vietnam in 2010 after a recovery and visa waive. French-speaking markets are among the top three from Europe, aided by a direct flight between Vietnam and France. And though Vietnam is better known as a backpacker destination, efforts are being made to promote Vietnam as a luxe destination and attract upscale French-speaking travelers with niche tourism products,”

Marie will be responsible for overseeing sales, marketing, and customer care with Luxury Travel’s business partners throughout Europe, seeking new business opportunities and coordinating the company’s national marketing program.
