    Sun Group Secures Government Approval to Launch Exciting New Airline Venture

    Sun Group, renowned for its breathtaking resorts and amusement parks, has just received the green light for a new airline—Sun PhuQuoc Airways. This dynamic new carrier sets its sights on offering travelers a fresh way to explore Vietnam and beyond, and it’s all set to take off this year.

    Scheduled to Soar

    Sun PhuQuoc Airways will operate on a passenger transport model, merging both scheduled and charter flights that connect vital tourism and financial centers across Vietnam and select international destinations. With an impressive startup capital of VND2.5 trillion (approximately US$96 million), the airline aims to establish a fleet of 31 aircraft by the year 2030.

    The inaugural flight is slated for the fourth quarter of 2025, launching from the popular southern destination of Phu Quoc Island. This new venture promises to make travel more accessible to revered local and international locales, creating even more opportunities for adventure seekers.

    A New Player in the Sky

    Sun Group isn’t a stranger to the aviation sector; it also operates Sun Air, which caters to a luxury clientele with private jet services. Currently, Vietnam boasts six established airlines, including the likes of Vietnam Airlines, Vietjet Air, Bamboo Airways, and a few others. However, it’s worth noting that Pacific Airlines has paused its booking services, directing travelers instead to Vietnam Airlines—a situation ripe for Sun PhuQuoc Airways to swoop in and meet the demand.

    As the skies get a new player, the question remains: will Sun PhuQuoc Airways bring a refreshing twist to the aviation scene in Vietnam? Only time will tell, but for travelers itching to explore new horizons, the future looks bright!

  • Sun Group lures Vietnamese talents by investing in working environment

    Sun Group lures Vietnamese talents by investing in working environment

    With a dynamic and far-reaching recruitment strategy, Sun Group offers employees a work-life balance and opportunities through sustainable and community-oriented projects.

    Over 14 years, Sun Group has developed iconic landmarks in Vietnam, including unique resorts, world-class entertainment complexes, and real estate ecosystems.

    Sun Group has created its own organizational culture, continually attracting and retaining young, dynamic, and highly sought-after talent in Vietnam. It seeks to hire and train highly qualified and principled individuals.

    The group has sought out talents in Vietnam since the beginning. To attract and retain top talent, it offers not only competitive salaries but also a forward-thinking and positive working environment, where employees can develop their careers and benefit from international labor standards.

    “We invest in the well-being of employees, making sure they always feel valued and happy to be part of such a dynamic team. A positive, high-energy and friendly workplace would inspire personnel to do their best,” a Sun Group representative said.

    To handle work pressure, Sun Group creates a work-life balance at the office. It offers wellness programs, sports events, on-site gym facilities, even smoking cessation programs to promote healthy lifestyles.z

    Sun Group strives to take care of its employees in the same way a family would. For employees working far from home, the company provides accommodation, on-site childcare facilities, and transit services.

    Charity programs like Sunflower Fund and Warm Spring support the poor and disadvantaged. “We empower them to be the best version of themselves, boosting creativity as a work culture while retaining a sense of homeliness and togetherness,” the representative said.

    “Sun Group contributes to the sustainable recovery of Vietnam’s tourism industry amid Covid-19, and minimizes the impact of the crisis on its employees by implementing flexible policy solutions toward ‘the new normal’.”

    By launching campaigns like Go Green, No Plastic Waste, Stop Smoking, Live Happily – Live Healthily, Sun Talents and Change for Future, it aims to spread the message of sustainable and healthier living.

    Despite operations being severely affected by Covid-19, Sun Group still strives to contribute to the sustainable recovery of Vietnam’s tourism industry, and its actions continue to minimize the impact of the crisis on its employees.

    During a challenging time, the company swiftly acted, implementing plans and offering flexible policies to help employees adjust to the ‘new normal’. Sun Group also rolled out various cultural and social media activities to encourage a positive spirit across communities and maintain employee morale.

    Responding to the Covid-19 impact on global tourism, the group introduced exciting products and services to boost the industry while supporting the government to eliminate this disease.

    Developed by Sun Group, Van Don International Airport has welcomed thousands of flights over the past year, welcoming Vietnamese returning home from countries affected by the pandemic.

    In central Vietnam, Sun Group set up Tien Son field hospital in just three and a half days to treat Covid-19 patients. A team of Sun Group professionals was dispatched to Chi Linh Town, Hai Duong, hotspot of a recent outbreak, to support field hospital construction.

    “The outbreak came just two weeks before Tet (Lunar New Year), an occasion for family reunions, so I feel a little bittersweet about this outstanding effort. At Sun Group, we all wished to make a contribution in the hope of controlling infections in Hai Duong, so people could welcome the new year safely and happily. It was nothing compared to the ceaseless efforts being made by the doctors, nurses and soldiers on the frontline, who have been battling to contain and eliminate the virus,” said Pham Hoang Tuan, Project Manager in Capital Region of Sun Group.

    A Sun Group representative said: “Creating positive working environment, caring for employees as family and inspired them to make a difference… all of these are the reason to explain why Sun Group has consistently been identified as one of the best companies and one of the leading employers in Vietnam.”

    In 2020, the group received the “Top 5 Real Esate Companies”, “Top 100 Vietnam Best Places to Work 2020” and “Top 50 for Vietnam’s Most Attractive Employers 2020” awards.

    Sun Group was named on the “Top 10 Excellent Companies with Responsive Human Capital Initiative” list, a prestigious award in the field of human resources.

  • Foreign real estate brokers expanding in Vietnamese market

    Foreign real estate brokers expanding in Vietnamese market

    In July, ERA Real Estate, a foreign broker, quietly opened five transaction points and one commercial office in the central business district of HCM City. The company now has 300 consultancy officers trained and certified in accordance with international standards.

    The broker revealed an ambitious plan to become the leading real estate distributor in Vietnam in the next five years with a network of 50 transaction offices in large cities and staff of 5,000 well-trained workers.

    To quickly adapt to the emerging market of Vietnam, the US broker decided to join hands with Eurocapital Group, an investment conglomerate which has had offices in Vietnam since 2008, to establish ERA Vietnam.

    Thanks to cooperation with the partner, the US broker, new in Vietnam, has approached high-end and luxury real estate projects developed by Vietnamese conglomerates, including Sun Group, CEO Group, MIK, Sacomreal and Kien A, and foreign developers, including Keppel Land and Sunwah Group.

    Foreign real estate brokers were once ‘the big fish in the little pond’ of Vietnam in 2006-2008, when the real estate market was ‘scorching hot’. They obtained the right to manage and distribute many large-scale projects because investors believed that foreign brokers would be more professional than Vietnamese. They included CBRE, Savills, Colliers International, DTZ, Cushman & Wakefield, Knight Frank, Coldwell Banker and JLL.

    However, later, when the real estate market stagnated, the operation of foreign brokers narrowed considerably. Aldy Vina, Setia and Coldwell Banker all withdrew from the market. CBRE and Savills are among the few foreign real estate service providers which stayed in Vietnam.

    Nguyen Khai Hoan from Khai Hoan Land said that the Vietnamese real estate market has been experiencing a difficult period with policies changing regularly and the market fluctuating all the time.

    “They have strong brands and good technology. However, the Vietnamese market is different from other markets with different conditions of material facilities and staff,” he commented.

    In such a context, Vietnamese brokers, which understand the market and follow a flexible way to approach clients, has gradually regained the distribution market. STDA alone in 2016 had 9,796 successful transactions.

    However, analysts commented that the best pieces of the cake still belong to foreign service providers which have stronger capability and experience. The services which bring high profits such as office, apartment and hotel management and leasing are managed by foreign companies.

Additionally, buyers who register to buy villas at the opening ceremony of the project will enjoy incentives of up to 5 percent off the selling price, excluding VAT.

    When buying resort villas, investors will be entitled to a special interest rate of zero percent for loans of up to 70 percent of the selling price.

    Customers of the projects will benefit from many attractive perks and benefits.

    Sun Group, in collaboration with Techcombank, offers financing of up to 70 percent, zero-percent interest loans, and a grace period of up to 24 months on the principle.

And with the initial investment of just around VND6-7 billion ($270,000), they can own a Premier Village Phu Quoc Resort villa worth as much as $1 million at Ong Doi Cape, facing the sea on both sides.

    A Techcombank representative said it adopts flexible measures to assess customers’ financial capacity. Properties, saving books, stocks and other assets can all be used as collateral.
