Pham Huy Binh, Chairman of Saigontourist Group, said the group's success stems from the leadership of all levels and the contributions of each individual over five decades. It also comes from the cooperation and support of domestic and international partners.
"Everyone has contributed to Saigontourist Group's achievements throughout its 50 years of development," Binh emphasized.
The journey hasn't always been smooth. Saigontourist Group has faced significant challenges, such as economic crises and the Covid-19 pandemic.
Today, the group has expanded its tourism services network nationwide, strengthened international cooperation, and helped shape the domestic tourism industry. The group was also among the first to welcome international tourists back to Vietnam after the pandemic.
