Our partnerships with both Sun World and VinWonders come at a perfect time and we are confident that we will see strong growth in the market for 2023 as travel comes back stronger than ever before.”
Nguyen Thi Huong Giang, Deputy General Manager of Sun World said, “While 2022 was considered the year of recovery with positive signs of the domestic tourism market, 2023 is the pivotal year for international tourists to start returning to Vietnam strongly.

Ngo Thi Huong, CEO VinWonders, said, “In 2022, VinWonders will continue to introduce world-class entertainment products and festival themes tailored to each destination, anticipating a strong rebound in the tourism market. Revenue and visitor arrivals have mostly recovered, with the months of June and July breaking all previous records for visitor arrivals.
In 2023, VinWonders will continue its strategy of creating world-class products and international festivals, contributing to the attraction of destinations that attract international tourists, and simultaneously, confirming the number one entertainment brand in Vietnam. To accomplish this, we will launch large- scale communication campaigns and collaborate closely with strategic partners such as Klook to coordinate communication and stimulate demand in Vietnam, particularly in international markets.”
