Vietnam's first luxury tour and travel operator has launched its website www.vietnamhalalholidays.com and a Vietnam guidebook for Muslim tourists visiting the country.
Luxury Travel Vietnam has just launched the first luxury halal tour and holiday operator focusing on Muslim tourists from Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, India, Turkey, and the Middle East visiting Vietnam in 2013, the company has said.
"We have reserved special tours for Muslim travellers, halal food restaurants and mosque locations. We expect to host around 800 -1000 Indonesian Muslim travellers in 2013," said CEO and Founder Pham Ha of Luxury Travel Ltd.
Pham Ha said: "The Muslim population in Indonesia shows immense potential. Demand from this segment is picking up and is expected to increase, thanks to direct flights between South-east Asian countries, including the latest flight to (Ho Chi Minh City) from Jakarta four times per week.
"Also, no visa is needed for most citizens travelling between ASEAN countries," he added.
The Luxury Travel Ltd. is set to introduce the halal tours and holidays at the TTC Indonesia on March 25-27 in Jarkata and Surabaya, Indonesia.
