Not only that, but since your tour is totally private, you may choose to go off the beaten path and explore anything that strikes your fancy, with the expert help of your local guide.

Luxury Travel Vietnam Ltd Seek Two Growth from Discerning German Travelers

Vietnam’s Biggest Luxury Tour Operator to Attract Luxury German Travelers.

Hanoi, Vietnam, February 16, 2012 – Luxury Travel Company revamps its website for Germany (www.luxurytravels.de), launches brochure and attends ITB Berlin 2012 in their campaign to attract luxury German travelers to Vietnam. ITB Berlin is the world’s leading travel trade show and takes place in Berlin, Germany from 7-11 March 2012. Luxury Travel Ltd (www.luxurytravelvietnam.com) is a long established Asian specialist in luxury privately guided and fully bespoke holidays in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand.

According to recent figures for 2012 by FVW Medien Gruppe, Germany’s leading travel industry media group with more than forty years of expertise in tourism, provides widely known and recognized publications, 39% of German tourists want sun and beach for their vacation, 31% want a relaxing holiday, 22% like nature trips as their preferred types of holidays, 22% travel with family, 16% like adventure, 14% like active holidays, 8% want fun and 8% like winter holidays and 4% like winter and warm for their vacation.

For many travel experts, Vietnam has all of these to offer to German tourists.

Vietnam in particular increasingly is being recognized as a destination for high-end global tourists, especially those coming from Western European countries with direct flights, such as France, the UK, and Germany. For German tourists, Vietnam is a magnet due to the history link and strategic partnership between the two countries, especially after the visit of Prime Minister Angela Merkel to Hanoi.

Vietnam now has world class hotels and resorts, beaches and cuisine, in addition to its natural beauty, rich history and traditional culture. The country receives 100,000 German tourists yearly, and the number of tourists increases year after year.

Today’s German luxury travelers want to be entertained and stimulated, rather than simply pampered, and Vietnam offers a magical mix of tropical beaches, post-colonial charm, a string of world heritage sites, stunning inland scenery, a world-renowned cuisine and a home-grown flair for hospitality.

Upscale tours today must offer “off -the-beaten-track” experiences. Yet, in a credit crunch environment in Europe, high-end German tourists also expect efficiency, seamless travel, value for the money and a return on personal values. Many may even opt for staying in less luxurious hotels on short trips which offer a slice of local culture, a splash of adventure, and authentic experiences. The new slogan of Vietnam tourism –– “Timeless charm,” was created with an aim to attract long haul travelers from Germany and elsewhere, who wish to experience its defining characteristics: Thrills, nature, heritage, festival, pristine, enjoyment, scenery and essence.

“Our German team expects good traffic from German speaking countries such as Austria, Switzerland and Germany in 2012. Germany is a great market for us and we have beautiful products for German tastes and preferences and target the right clients with personalized products and services. We have increased both FITs and GITs bookings from our partners in 2011. Tourists choose Vietnam for their vacations for safety, affordable prices, authenticity and convenient direct flights. Our German teams have native Germans and Vietnamese, who are passionate and motivated. We will expand and expect to stay strong in Germany. With our marketing efforts and commitments, we will attract more German travelers who wish to experience the timeless charm of Vietnam in style and luxury and we are targeting two digit growth from this market for 2012,” said Tran Mai Phuong, senior sales and marketing executive of German department of Luxury Travel Ltd.

“To help our travel agents and tour operators to sell our Vietnam luxury tours at ITB Berlin 2012, I invite travel professionals to do a 9 day familiarization trip to Vietnam. Participants receive a certificate of Luxury Travel Specialist after the trip,” said Pham Ha, CEO of Luxury Travel Company. “On this 9 day tour offering a blend of classic sightseeing and excursions, the well-planned fam tour itinerary will showcase the company’s unrivaled expertise in tailor-making tours. The Vietnam tour fam has been designed to treat participants to a myriad of experiences that range from cultural to culinary, alongside sensational sceneries. Small fam groups or individual fam trip for persons will be led by a local expert and fluent German speaking guide. With first-class accommodation, domestic travel and food included within the overall price at 1116 USD per person from 2 participants, this fam trip program demonstrates excellent value for the money and promises unprecedented insights into local customs. The perfect way to learn more about Vietnam and some of the most dynamic new products available for 2012 – 2013, this tour blends innovative touring with hotel inspections to give agents insight the destinations and become a true luxury travel advisors.”

With Table Mountain looming over the city and Robben Island a short ferry ride from the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town is bursting with cultural and historic sights to explore.

Hiring a car to travel the 60km along the Cape Peninsula is an absolute must, as one of the most breath-taking coastal drives in the world.

Taking in the quaint, naval base that is Simon’s Town, the pretty fishing harbour of Kalk , and the incredible penguin colony at Boulders Beach , this journey is truly exceptional. There aren’t many places you can swim alongside penguins in their natural habitat.

WEXAS can arrange stays at many of the best hotels in Cape Town , with a plethora of these being in the trendy Camps Bay area. With winding roads framed by luxury, waterfront apartments, Camps Bay is rich in chic and stylish shops and restaurants.

Departing Cape Town and commencing the journey east along the Garden Route , you’ll soon find yourself in South Africa ‘s world-class Winelands, and the country’s charming, culinary capital of Franschhoek.

Home to 70 per cent of the country’s top restaurants, Le Quartier Francais and La Petite Ferme are just two of the stunning gourmet hot spots.

The patchwork of award-winning vineyards spanning Franschhoek and nearby Stellenbosch, provides the perfect opportunity to indulge in wine-tasting tours, which can be organised by WEXAS as a group or on an individual basis.

Onwards from the Winelands, coastal towns Knysna and Plettenburg Bay provide the ideal spots to enjoy some of the finest seafood while taking in wonderfully inspiring vistas before completing the Garden Route at Port Elizabeth .

As a tailor-made holiday specialist, WEXAS can plan your luxury holiday to your own personal specification. Incorporating a safari to Kruger National Park or a beach stay inMauritius are two of the most popular ways to round-off this trip.
