The Guide Awards is an annual event organized by Vietnam Economics Times to celebrate the best products and services in Vietnam's tourism and hospitality sector. This year marks the 14th anniversary and will take place on Thursday, August 22, 2013 at Vinpearl Luxury Danang. The Guide Awards Ceremony is to honor excellent achievements in the tourism industry in 2012 - 2013.

The honorees are initially nominated by readers of the life style and luxury magazine, with the shortlist presented to the executive board of the Guide. Travel, hotel, restaurant and shopping experts are invited to assist the board in making their decision.

This year Luxury Travel received a Guide Award with the title "The Finest and Most Innovative Travel and Tour Operator". This recognition was due to the fact that Lux is innovative and creates a great working environment for its people, as well as applying new technology to improve quality and operations processes.

They have been publishing new websites designed for travel sellers, publishing brochures and luxury travel guide books, and venturing into new markets. All of the innovation initiatives are aimed at delivering the most authentic luxury travel experiences for the most sophisticated travelers. This is the sixth consecutive year that Luxury Travel has been recognized by luxury travelers for excellent performance.

"We are much honored to receive the Guide Awards 2012- 2013 for the 6th consecutive time. This prestigious accolade is a wonderful recognition of our pioneering role and continuous innovation in luxury tourism in Vietnam and in the Mekong sub region. We are proud of our 99% of satisfaction rate, yet we will keep aiming for double digit growth, as we have just set up a new premium travel company in Cambodia." said Mr. Ha Pham, founder and CEO of Luxury Travel Ltd.
