  • Vietnam’s Ha Long casino continues to lose staff on poor business performance

    Vietnam’s Ha Long casino continues to lose staff on poor business performance

    Ha Long’s only casino continues to lose employees due to a number of reasons, including its persistent losses. Hoang Gia Joint Stock Corporation (RIC) in Ha Long, Vietnam’s resort city, which runs the Casino Gaming Club, said the number of employees has fallen by 275 now compared to the beginning of the year.

    It has less than 1,200 employees remaining. Last year 514 had quit.

    The main reasons, the company admitted, are the casino’s poor business and competitors’ talent attraction policies.

    Revenues increased by 23 percent in the first nine months of this year to VND187 billion ($8 million), but it lost VND14 billion ($597,555).

    Another problem for the casino is the sluggish progress of transport infrastructure works in the region, such as Van Don airport and the Ha Noi – Ha Long Highway, which prevents more foreign tourists, mainly from China, Japan and South Korea, from coming here.

    The company targets revenue and profit after tax this year of $15.9 million and $1.5 million. Casino operations are expected to account for around 63 percent of the revenue with the rest generated by hotels and villas the company owns.

    The owner of the company is Khai Tiep International Investment Limited, registered in the Cayman Islands.

  • Vietnam’s culture, tourist sites introduced at Brussels Holiday Fair

    Vietnam’s culture, tourist sites introduced at Brussels Holiday Fair

    Several Vietnamese companies have introduced Việt Nam’s cultural features, natural landscapes and cuisine to visitors at the 60th Brussels Holiday Fair that is being held in Belgium’s capital city from February 1 to February 4.

    At the event, representatives from Vietnam Airlines, the national flag carrier, have provided visitors with information on its inbound and outbound flights, especially air routes from Belgium and other European nations to Việt Nam.

    Vietnamese Ambassador to Belgium Vương Thừa Phong took the opportunity to promote the image of the Vietnamese land and people to Belgians and other international partners.

    Nguyễn Thị Dung Hạnh from the Gvietnamtravels Company said that this time her company was offering tours designed to fit the requirements of each group of customers and cater to all services, from visa application to buying flight tickets.

    According to her, Belgium is a promising market for Vietnamese travel agencies.

    At the event, several Belgian companies have also introduced their attractive tours to Việt Nam.

     

    Vietnam News Agency’s correspondent quoted Willy Somers, a representative of Belgian Lauwers Tourism Company, as saying that his company had introduced to its customers many tours from north to south Việt Nam that could be completed in 12 days to 15 days.

    He said the company’s customers have booked all the tours to Việt Nam departing next month.

    According to the plan, the company will conduct tours to Việt Nam throughout 2018, and this proves the Vietnamese market is interested in Belgian customers.

    Việt Nam welcomed nearly 13 million international tourists in 2017, up 29.1 per cent compared with the previous year, of which 1.9 million tourists were from Europe, including more than 29,000 Belgians.

    The 60th Brussels Holiday Fair is taking place from February 1 to February 4 in Brussels. This is a good opportunity for tour operators, airlines, hotels and tour operators in Belgium, as well as foreign partners to seek partners and business opportunities.
