Inspired by the process of transformation from "cocoon" to "silk", the honoring ceremony aims to highlight the future potential of the honored brands in continuing to create valuable tourism products, services and positive contributions such as Zannier Hotels Bai San Ho - a hotel engages in sustainable development and environmental protection activities or Fusion Resort & Villas Da Nang - a resort with special health and wellness programs, Premier Village Phu Quoc Managed By Accor - a resort that has made specific and positive changes towards sustainability over the past year...
Just as silk is a precious and beautiful material, the future contributions of the honored organizations and individuals are expected to bring great value, while encouraging tourism businesses to be creative, have innovative business strategies, and continually improve the quality of their products and services.
Moreover, "Kén" in "kén chọn" (selective process) indicates a selective and discerning process, reflecting Travellive Media Group's commitment to meticulously selecting and honoring the most deserving individuals and organizations. HOTLIST 2024 not only emphasizes seriousness and care in honoring, but also affirms the value of selection and excellence with premium brands such as Amanoi Ninh Thuan, Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai Hoi An, Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi, Luna Halong Cruise, or inspirational individuals who have a positive impact on the industry such as Quang Vinh, Tran Dang Dang Khoa, Khoai Lang Thang, Helly Tong, Ly Thanh Co, Tam Bui, Ha La La, Vinh Gau, Quy Coc Tu...
The event is not only a meaningful year-end gathering for tourism businesses to network and expand cooperation, but the Gala is also a space for art exhibitions, enjoying music, and admiring Vietnamese silk products - where contemporary beauty blends with culture and tradition.
