The divestment of Buffalo Tours and other brands within the destination management portfolio is part of the Group’s portfolio transformation strategy. This milestone divestment, along with an incredible pipeline of investment projects, would pay a key role in supporting TMG in creating a highly attractive, competitive and well-balanced business, with the leverage of scale, technical expertise and customer-centric culture, which offer considerable upside potential over the long term.

In 2011, the successful acquisition of Victoria Hotels & Resorts in Vietnam has seen TMG becoming a new emerging hotelier in the tourism landscape of Vietnam.

Through the years, TMG has developed eleven successful hotels & resorts, 8 cruises and boats, and provide accommodation services for around 200,000 guests annually. The heart of TMG’s hospitality is to bring to our guests’ journeys of distinction wherever they go.
2011 was a very busy year in which alongside with the acquisition of Victoria Hotels & Resorts, TMG established iVIVU.com in the form of a joint venture with the Wotif Group, Australia.
Global integration has later on seen the restructuring of the joint venture into a sole subsidiary of TMG.
Through the years, iVivu has become the latest online platform offering a solution for travellers to organize and customize their journey with ease and aims to become the number 1 Leisure Travel Partner for Discerning Vietnamese Travelers.
