TMG – Chairman & CEO Tran Trong Kien shared the group’s 31-year journey of growth and its future goals during TMG’s anniversary celebration.
“Victoria Hoi An Beach Resort & Spa, 15th September, 2025,
Good evening everyone,
It’s a joy to stand here tonight, surrounded by our TMG family and our trusted partners from Vietnam and around the world. Thank you for being here to celebrate with us.
TMG has always been about people. About passion. About purpose. And tonight, we celebrate not just what we’ve built—but how we’ve built it: together.
Two years ago, we closed with just $56 million in revenue. This year, we will have more than doubled that, serving nearly 1M travellers from eight markets from 6 countries. Our target for next year is $200M serving some 1.2M passengers and expanding into at least two destinations. Those are not just numbers. They are a reflection of our hard work and our commitment to excellence and growth.
In the last three months of this year and in 2026, we’ve sharpened our focus. Our priorities are clear:
- 1. Customers – putting customer experience at the center of everything we do.
- 2. Efficiency** – growing occupancy, other revenues, doing more with less, and doing it better.
- 3. ONE TMG** – breaking down silos and building unity across our teams to deal with our biggest challenges.
- 4. Building New Great Assets** – investing in the future, not just for growth, but for legacy.
- 5. Sell non-strategic assets and get strategic investors for Hai Au Aviation and iVIVU.com.
These priorities will guide us into 2026 and beyond. But we’re not stopping there.
We have a vision for 2028 and we are on the right track to achieve them:
– 2 million happy passengers served and More than **$80 million in EBITDA**.
– And a company that’s deeply respected, admired, and loved by the community, society and our own people.
To our 300 team members here tonight—you are the soul of TMG. You make the magic happen. You bring our values to life. You make our guests feel welcome, our partners feel confident, and our mission feel real.
To our partners and friends joining us—thank you for walking (actually running) this journey with us. Your trust, collaboration, and friendship mean the world.
TMG is more than a business. It’s a story, a legacy. A dream that keeps growing. And tonight, we celebrate the chapters we’ve written—and the ones we’re about to begin.
Let’s enjoy this evening. Let’s raise a glass to what we’ve achieved. And let’s look forward—with courage, with heart, and with hope.
Thank you, and cheers to all of you.”
