TMG – Located in some of Vietnam’s top tourist destinations, such as Hoi An (Quang Nam), Chau Doc (An Giang), and Can Tho, as well as Laos (Luang Prabang), the Victoria Hotels & Resorts chain impresses with its luxe amenities, superb guest experiences, and professional services.

Join Victoria, a member of Thien Minh Group (TMG), one of Asia’s leading travel groups, for a fun-filled National Day holiday this September 2^nd at some of these spectacular destinations.

1. Explore the Mekong Delta, the ‘Land of Nine Dragons’

Can Tho is the largest city in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, famous for its rice production and extensive network of rivers and canals. If visiting Can Tho over the National Day holidays, a discovery cruise aboard the Cai Be Princess is a must, especially with activities like fish pedicures, fish feeding in the river, seeing snakehead fish “fly” and even bottle feeding the fish in a garden setting surrounded by fruit trees.

Traditional fare has always played an important role in the lives of local people. Every Saturday night, visitors are invited to join the “Ganh Hang Rong” street food buffet at Spices Restaurant to sample the simple yet tasty cuisine of the Mekong Delta.

For a chill, rustic experience close to nature, the Victoria Garden Cafe is located right on the grounds of Victoria Can Tho Resort. This green oasis by the river offers fragrant cups of coffee to be enjoyed along with the river breezes – one of life’s simple pleasures.

2. Healing Tourism in Luang Prabang, Laos

Located just next to the famed Wat Xiengthong, Victoria Xiengthong Palace is synonymous with Lao royalty as it was once the residence of King Sisavang Vong and the royal family. Through the decades, Victoria Xiengthong Palace still retains a harmonious combination of traditional Lao urban architecture and French architectural elements dating back to the colonial era. Today, Victoria Xiengthong Palace is a must-visit for travelers looking to enjoy “regal” experiences in the ancient capital of Luang Prabang, Laos.

Situated in the heart of this UNESCO-recognized World Heritage site, Victoria Xiengthong Palace offers visitors a truly unique stay with picturesque gardens, stylish guest rooms appointed with modern amenities, authentic Lao cuisine at Alamea Restaurant as well as the resort’s own boat to cruise the Mekong River.

It’s no wonder that Luang Prabang is known as a healing tourism destination. The slow, serene pace of life soothes the soul. In Luang Prabang, visitors can participate in a range of cultural and artistic activities organized right at or near Victoria Xiengthong Palace including Lam Vong dance performances, the morning alms ceremony, and an outdoor showing of “Chang”, a documentary showcasing the beauty of authentic Indochina in the “Land of a Million Elephants”.

3. Immerse Yourself in the Spirituality of An Giang Province

Famous for its spiritual tourism, Chau Doc in An Giang province is home to four ethnic groups: the Kinh (Vietnamese), Hoa (Chinese), Cham, and Khmer.

Beyond the boundaries of Hoi An’s Ancient Town, visitors to this UNESCO-listed destination can stay at Victoria Hoi An and stroll along the seashore, feel the warm sun on their faces, and breathe in the salty sea air.
