Deep beneath the forests of Central Vietnam lies Son Doong, the world’s largest natural cave – a place where underground rivers, ancient forests, towering limestone formations and shafts of sunlight create a world unlike any other. Recently, Pham Ha, CEO of Lux Travel DMC, embarked on a four-day expedition into this extraordinary wilderness, experiencing first-hand the challenges, beauty and profound sense of discovery that define Son Doong. His journey offers more than a story of adventure; it is a reflection on how rare experiences, responsible exploration and a deeper connection with nature can redefine the meaning of luxury travel.

For years, Pham Ha, Chairman and CEO of LuxGroup, had dreamed of setting foot inside Son Doong.
Like many travellers, he had seen the photographs. He heard the extraordinary numbers: the world’s largest natural cave, colossal stalagmites, underground rivers, sinkholes where forests grow beneath the earth, and shafts of sunlight piercing through the vast darkness.
But after four days living beneath the surface, it was not the numbers that stayed with him.
It was the feeling of cold water beneath his feet in the forest. The moment his headlamp was switched off, and darkness became absolute. And later, when a single beam of sunlight broke through the cave ceiling, turning an ordinary ray of light into something precious.

The Journey Begins

The journey began at Km35, where the group descended through the Ba Gian slopes and entered the ancient forest.
The landscape changed constantly. A dirt path became rocks. A downhill trail led into a stream, followed by another climb. The group crossed rivers, navigated steep terrain, and gradually made their way towards Ban Doong, home to the Bru-Van Kieu community, before continuing on to Hang En.
After several hours, Ha realised that physical strength was only one part of the journey.
“A long journey is not a race to see who can go fastest. What matters is finding your rhythm, placing each step carefully and saving your energy for what lies ahead.”

A Different Kind of Luxury

After hours of trekking through the forest, Hang En appeared like another world.
A vast cave entrance opened before the group, natural light spilling across the sand. Swallows circled overhead, while a large natural pool waited beside the campsite.

After hours of sweat, rocks, and steep climbs, Ha dropped his backpack and went straight into the water. There was no infinity pool. No temperature-controlled water. No cold towel waiting on the side.
Yet swimming in a natural pool deep inside a cave was, in its own way, an experience far beyond the usual definition of luxury.

That night, he slept deep inside the cave with almost no internet and barely any phone signal.
When the headlamps went out, the darkness was complete.

Into the Darkness

The following morning, the group followed the underground water towards Son Doong. Wet black rocks glistened beneath their feet. Forest followed forest. Rocks followed rocks. The river appeared and disappeared as the landscape changed.Ha thought of Ho Khanh, the local man who first discovered the cave entrance in 1990 and later helped British and Vietnamese cave experts relocate and survey Son Doong.

“Only after walking across the Truong Son mountains myself did I understand how a gigantic cave entrance could disappear into nature for so many years.”
As the group descended deeper, daylight gradually disappeared. Headlamps replaced the sun.

The people walking ahead became nothing more than tiny points of light against an immense underground landscape. Rocks that looked impressive in photographs became monumental when viewed from beside them.
Ha had seen countless images of Son Doong before the journey. But photographs, he realised, always have four edges. Inside Son Doong, those four edges disappear.

When a Ray of Sunlight Becomes an Event

After hours of darkness, rock and challenging terrain, light suddenly appeared. Through a vast opening above, sunlight filtered through mist and moisture, illuminating the enormous chamber below. The Wedding Cake stalagmite emerged from the landscape like something from another world. On the surface, we rarely stop to notice a ray of sunlight.
After spending hours underground, sunlight becomes an event. And sometimes, the simplest experiences become the most memorable. After a long day of trekking, Ha stepped into an underground river near the campsite. “I was swimming inside a mountain.” No swimming pool. No shower. No familiar comforts. Just cold water, a tired body and an extraordinary feeling of being completely alive.

Then came the second sinkhole, often known as the Garden of Edam.
After hours of darkness, rocks and demanding terrain, greenery suddenly appeared. There was light, mist and birdsong, with small clouds drifting between enormous limestone walls.
He knew he was still inside a cave, yet his eyes told him he was looking at a forest.
“Son Doong is not simply a gigantic cave. It is like a world within a world – with rivers, forests, sandbanks, darkness, light and its own ecosystem.”

The Final Challenge

Near the end of the journey came the famous “Vietnam Wall” – a demanding climb involving an 18-metre steel ladder followed by more than 70 metres of steep rock, ropes and safety equipment. Seen from below, the challenge looked even greater. Once the climb began, Ha understood something simple: no one could climb it for you. The safety team could guide, protect and support you. But your feet still had to take every step.
And behind every small group exploring Son Doong is a much larger team – guides, safety experts, rangers, cooks, porters and local specialists – quietly making the journey possible.
In photographs, we often see a single explorer standing beneath a monumental natural wonder. Beyond the frame is an entire team.

“Son Doong Changed Me”
Before the journey, Ha had said that he wanted to “conquer” Son Doong. Afterwards, he no longer felt comfortable with that word. Son Doong existed millions of years before humans entered it. It will remain long after every expedition has left. A person who spends only a few days inside such a place cannot conquer nature. “I did not change Son Doong. Son Doong changed me.”

Four days without the constant connection of the outside world made the sound of water clearer. A difficult climb made every step more meaningful. A natural pool became a reward. And a simple cup of hot coffee became more precious than many of the comforts we usually take for granted. Ha entered Son Doong hoping to explore one of the world’s greatest natural wonders.
He returned with something more personal. Sometimes, a journey takes us very far from home – only to bring us closer to ourselves.

A Journey Beyond the Ordinary

At Lux Travel DMC, we believe that the most meaningful journeys are not simply about seeing a destination. They are about experiencing it, understanding it, and returning home with a story worth telling.
Son Doong is perhaps the ultimate expression of that philosophy – a journey where nature sets the pace, where exploration requires patience and respect, and where the destination is not something to conquer, but something to experience with humility.
For our travel partners, this is the kind of Vietnam we love to share: extraordinary, authentic, and deeply connected to the natural world.

As a Travelife Partner committed to responsible tourism, Lux Travel DMC continues to integrate sustainable travel into its business operations, environmental initiatives, community engagement, and staff development programs. The following showcases some of our key sustainability highlights and activities during May and June 2026.

1. Collect Used Batteries – Grow Green Futures

As part of Environmental Action Month 2026, Lux Travel DMC launched the campaign “Collect Used Batteries – Grow Green Futures” from 16–20 June 2026 to encourage responsible waste management and environmental protection. In partnership with Biti’s, all collected batteries were transferred to authorized recycling facilities for proper treatment and disposal. Through this initiative, every 15 batteries collected contribute to the planting of one tree in protected areas across Vietnam, including Ta Dung National Park, Nam Nung Nature Reserve, A Luoi Protection Forest, and Nui Ong Nature Reserve.

Within one week, the Lux Travel DMC team collected and delivered 200 used batteries for recycling, helping reduce hazardous waste while supporting reforestation efforts and environmental restoration projects.

This initiative demonstrates how small actions can contribute to environmental protection and supports Lux Travel DMC’s ongoing sustainability commitments.

2. Enhancing Guide Competencies for Sustainable Tourism Delivery Across Vietnam

To strengthen service quality and professional standards, Lux Travel DMC organized a nationwide training program for its tour guide network.

The first training session was held in Hanoi on 26 May 2026 with the participation of 30 guides from Northern Vietnam. Additional training sessions were conducted during an inspection trip to Central and Southern Vietnam from 15–21 June 2026.

The training was led by Ms. Doan Van, Managing Director, and Ms. Huong, Operations Manager, covering practical case studies, emerging travel trends, guest experience management, sustainability awareness, and professional guiding skills.

A total of 82 tour guides participated:

• 30 guides from Northern Vietnam
• 25 guides from Central Vietnam
• 27 guides from Southern Vietnam

The program provided opportunities for knowledge sharing, professional development, and strengthening collaboration within Lux Travel DMC’s guide network. Continuous investment in guide training helps ensure high-quality, authentic, and responsible travel experiences for guests across Vietnam and Southeast Asia.

3. Green Promise: For the Bay We Love

On 28 May 2026, representatives of Lux Travel DMC joined nearly 100 volunteers in the annual “Clean the Bay” campaign organized by Bhaya Cruises to support environmental conservation in Ha Long Bay.

The campaign focused on collecting and properly disposing of waste in coastal areas, lagoons, and other locations within the bay.

Key results of the 2026 campaign included:

• More than 2 km of coastline cleaned
• More than 95 volunteers are participating
• 176 foam blocks collected
• More than 190 kg of fishing nets and fishing gear were removed
• More than 223 kg of plastic waste collected
• More than 32 kg of other waste was properly handledThe campaign reflects the collective efforts of tourism businesses, local communities, and volunteers working together to protect the natural environment and preserve the value of Ha Long Bay for future generations.

4. Learning from Green Tourism Models in Ninh Binh

From 21–25 May 2026, Ms. Doan Van, Managing Director, represented Lux Travel DMC in a sustainability-focused familiarization trip to Ninh Binh to explore green tourism models and responsible tourism practices.

The program included visits to tourism businesses implementing environmental initiatives such as solar energy systems, water and energy conservation measures, waste reduction practices, and sustainable hospitality operations.

Participants also explored tourism products developed under the “Farm-to-Table” concept, which support local agriculture, create economic benefits for communities, and reduce environmental impacts.

The experience provided valuable insights that will support Lux Travel DMC in developing and selecting tourism products that align with sustainable tourism principles.

5. Supporting the Next Generation of Sustainable Tourism Guides

On 16 May 2026, Lux Travel DMC supported the 5th French-speaking Tour Guide Competition, “Aimer Pour Guider”, organized by ULIS – Vietnam National University, Hanoi.

Under the theme “Youth and Sustainable Tourism”, the competition encouraged students to promote local culture, heritage, landscapes, and cuisine while highlighting the role of young people in environmental protection, cultural preservation, and sustainable tourism development.

Representing Lux Travel DMC, Ms. Doan Van, Managing Director, and Ms. Thu Hien, Talent & Corporate Culture Manager, participated in the event and presented awards to outstanding students.

The competition provided an opportunity for French-speaking students to strengthen their language proficiency, presentation skills, cultural knowledge, and understanding of responsible tourism practices.

Supporting tourism education and future tourism professionals remains an important part of Lux Travel DMC’s long-term commitment to sustainable tourism development.

Conclusion

As a Travelife Partner and a leading luxury and sustainable destination management company in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, Lux Travel DMC remains committed to advancing responsible tourism practices and creating positive impacts for destinations, communities, and travelers.

The award recognizes companies that consistently demonstrate exceptional service, innovation, expertise, and the ability to deliver meaningful travel experiences for discerning travelers worldwide.

For Lux Travel DMC, the recognition represents an important milestone in a journey that began more than two decades ago with a simple vision: creating highly personalized journeys that connect travelers with the culture, people, and stories of Southeast Asia more deeply and authentically.

Founded by Dr. Pham Ha, Chairman and CEO of LuxGroup, Lux Travel DMC has established itself as a trusted luxury travel specialist, serving travelers seeking tailor-made holidays throughout Vietnam and across the region. The company’s portfolio spans Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and multi-country Southeast Asian journeys designed around individual interests and travel styles.

Unlike traditional tour operators that rely on standardized itineraries, Lux Travel DMC focuses on creating bespoke experiences tailored to each traveler’s pace, preferences, and expectations. Every journey is carefully designed by local travel experts who combine destination knowledge with a strong understanding of luxury travel standards.

“Being recognized among the Top 100 Travel Agencies and Tour Operators of the World is both an honor and a reflection of our team’s dedication to creating meaningful travel experiences,” said Pham Ha, Founder and CEO of Lux Travel DMC.

“This recognition reinforces our belief that luxury travel is no longer defined solely by comfort or exclusivity. Today’s travelers seek authenticity, personal connections, cultural understanding, and experiences that create lasting memories. At Lux Travel DMC, we are proud to help travelers discover Vietnam and Southeast Asia through journeys that are deeply personal and thoughtfully designed.”

Over the years, Lux Travel DMC has built its reputation on a philosophy that places culture at the center of travel. The company believes that meaningful journeys are created through genuine encounters with local communities, heritage, cuisine, arts, and traditions rather than simply visiting famous attractions.

This approach has become increasingly relevant as luxury travelers seek experiences that are both immersive and responsible. Through carefully curated cultural encounters, off-the-beaten-path discoveries, and partnerships with local communities, Lux Travel DMC aims to create travel experiences that benefit both visitors and destinations.

The company’s commitment extends beyond leisure travel. Lux Travel DMC also supports corporate travel, incentive programs, executive retreats, and MICE services, backed by an experienced operations team and a strong regional network across Southeast Asia.

The recognition from Luxury Lifestyle Awards further strengthens Lux Travel DMC’s position as a trusted destination management partner for international travelers looking for exceptional experiences in one of the world’s most dynamic travel regions.

As global demand for experiential and personalized travel continues to grow, Lux Travel DMC remains focused on innovation, sustainability, and service excellence. The company continues to invest in product development, responsible tourism initiatives, cultural preservation, and the creation of unique travel experiences that showcase the richness and diversity of Southeast Asia.

The award also reinforces Lux Travel DMC’s ongoing mission to elevate Vietnam’s position within the global luxury travel landscape while providing travelers with journeys that inspire meaningful connections and unforgettable memories.

The annual gathering opened with a welcome speech from CEO Pham Ha, who expressed sincere appreciation to the company’s tour guides for their dedication, professionalism, and long-term partnership with Lux Travel DMC.

“Tour guides are among the most important ambassadors of our company and of Vietnam tourism itself. Their knowledge, passion, flexibility, and human connection with travelers are essential in creating authentic and memorable journeys,” shared Mr. Pham Ha during the opening session.

Held every year, the Guide Meeting has become an important internal activity for Lux Travel DMC, providing an opportunity for the Lux Travel DMC team and tour guides to reconnect, exchange operational experiences, strengthen communication, and continuously improve service quality for international travelers.

One of the highlights of the event was the practical sharing session where tour guides exchanged real-life experiences from the field. Through group activities and presentations, participants discussed operational challenges, shared problem-solving skills, and exchanged effective approaches to handling unexpected situations when serving international guests.

The discussions covered many aspects of guiding, including welcoming travelers, managing cultural differences, responding to emergencies, supporting guests during difficult situations, and delivering more personalized travel experiences. These stories highlighted the professionalism, flexibility, and dedication required to create meaningful journeys for travelers visiting Vietnam and Southeast Asia.

During the meeting, guides also shared concerns and observations related to sustainability issues at tourist destinations. Discussions included waste management, environmental awareness, reducing single-use plastics, and encouraging more responsible travel practices among travelers and tourism stakeholders.

A special sustainability-focused session was led by Mrs. Nguyen Huyen, who presented the topic: “ Sustainable Tour Guides”. She showed the difference between traditional Tour Guides and Sustainable Tour Guides. According to her, sustainable guides are storytellers, role models, and sustainability ambassadors who inspire travelers through responsible actions and meaningful cultural connections.

Her presentation also highlighted the importance of responsible guiding practices, including respecting local culture, protecting natural environments, supporting local communities, encouraging environmentally conscious behavior among travelers, and helping preserve the authenticity of destinations for future generations.

As one of Vietnam’s leading luxury and sustainable destination management companies, Lux Travel DMC continues to integrate sustainability principles into every aspect of its operations, from product development and customer experiences to supplier partnerships and guide training programs.

Guide Meeting 2026 further demonstrated the company’s belief that professional tour guides are at the heart of authentic tourism experiences. Beyond tour coordination, guides play an important role in building emotional connections between travelers and destinations, sharing local culture in meaningful ways, and shaping how international visitors experience Vietnam.

The event once again reflected Lux Travel DMC’s strong commitment to service excellence, sustainable tourism, and the development of a highly professional guiding community capable of inspiring travelers across Vietnam and Southeast Asia.

Over the past several years, Lux Travel DMC has established itself as a trusted name in personalized travel, combining refined service, cultural authenticity, and a strong commitment to sustainable tourism. The establishment of an official European representation marks a significant milestone in the company’s international growth strategy, particularly across French-speaking and broader European markets, where demand for immersive and exclusive journeys continues to rise.

A Strategic Expansion to Enhance Personalized Luxury Journeys Across Southeast Asia

Having a representative based in Europe serves as an important driver for supporting this market expansion. It enables more direct and responsive communication with travel agencies, tour operators, and local partners, while also improving the company’s understanding of the expectations and travel preferences of European clients. This geographic and cultural proximity allows Lux Travel DMC to adapt its travel products more precisely to current luxury travel trends and evolving customer demands.

Within this context, Lux Travel DMC is placing particular emphasis on its combined Vietnam and Cambodia tours, which remain among the company’s flagship offerings for European travelers. These programs, often designed as private and tailor-made experiences, are valued for their flexibility, exclusivity, and ability to create deeply personalized travel experiences.

From the thousand-year-old heritage of Hanoi to the majestic temples of Angkor Wat, and from the preserved landscapes of the Mekong Delta to the vibrant cultural atmosphere of Cambodia, each journey is carefully crafted to provide a seamless and authentic immersion into the region.

Thanks to its European representation, Lux Travel DMC is now able to provide smoother and more efficient support for its B2B partners. Travel professionals benefit from having a local point of contact capable of responding quickly to requests, offering tailored advice, and facilitating operational coordination. This structure helps strengthen trust, optimize response times, and improve the overall client experience from the earliest stages of trip planning.

“The strengthening of our presence in Europe reflects our desire to remain close to our partners and key strategic markets,” said Pham Ha, Founder and CEO of Lux Travel DMC. “The European market, especially the segment focused on tailor-made and private travel, represents a major growth opportunity for our company. Through our local representation, we are able to deliver a more responsive, more personalized service that is fully aligned with the expectations of today’s discerning travelers.”

Beyond customer service improvements, the company’s European presence also supports broader commercial and marketing activities. Lux Travel DMC actively participates in international trade fairs, organizes workshops, and develops training initiatives to promote its destinations and travel products among European tourism professionals. These efforts contribute to increasing brand visibility while reinforcing the company’s reputation as a trusted partner for Southeast Asia travel experiences.

At the same time, this initiative aligns closely with Lux Travel DMC’s long-standing commitment to sustainable tourism. Through close collaboration with European partners, the company continues to promote responsible travel practices that support environmental preservation and respect for local cultures. Many of its itineraries integrate ethical and sustainable experiences, responding to the growing expectations of travelers seeking more conscious and meaningful journeys.

Through this strategic expansion, Lux Travel DMC reaffirms its ambition to become a leading reference in the European luxury travel market for Southeast Asia. By combining local expertise, personalized service, and close collaboration with international partners, the company continues to redefine the standards of tailor-made travel experiences across the region.

The Travellers’ Choice Awards are considered one of the travel industry’s most influential consumer-based recognitions because winners are selected directly through authentic traveler feedback rather than judging panels or industry committees. The award reflects the quality, consistency, and reliability of the experiences delivered over a 12-month period.

For Lux Travel DMC, the recognition highlights more than service excellence alone. It also reflects the growing international demand for personalized, experience-led travel across Vietnam and Southeast Asia.

Founded in 2005 by Pham Ha, Lux Travel DMC has spent more than 21 years developing tailor-made private journeys for international travelers seeking authenticity, comfort, and deeper cultural connection. Today, the company serves global markets in five languages — English, German, French, Italian, and Spanish — offering customized travel experiences designed around each traveler’s pace, interests, and expectations.

Over the years, the company has become increasingly recognized for its approach to experiential luxury travel. Rather than focusing on conventional sightseeing alone, Lux Travel DMC emphasizes carefully curated journeys that combine local immersion, refined service, flexibility, and meaningful emotional experiences.

“Receiving recognition directly from travelers is especially meaningful for our team,” said Mr. Pham Ha. “This award reflects not only the trust of our guests, but also our long-term commitment to designing journeys that feel personal, authentic, and thoughtfully crafted. Luxury travel today is no longer simply about exclusivity — it is about how deeply a journey connects with the traveler.”

The recognition comes at a time when global luxury travel continues to evolve toward more personalized and responsible experiences. Travelers are increasingly prioritizing authenticity, slower pacing, privacy, and emotional value over traditional mass-market tourism models.

This shift aligns closely with Lux Travel DMC’s development strategy in recent years. The company has continued to expand its portfolio of tailor-made experiences, including luxury cultural journeys, honeymoon travel, family holidays, and sustainable tourism programs across Vietnam and Southeast Asia.

Sustainability has also become an increasingly important part of the company’s identity. Lux Travel DMC actively promotes responsible tourism practices through partnerships that support local communities, cultural preservation, and environmentally conscious travel experiences. The company’s long-term vision focuses on creating journeys that are not only luxurious and personalized but also meaningful and sustainable.

According to Tripadvisor, the Travellers’ Choice Award recognizes businesses that consistently receive strong traveler reviews and maintain high levels of customer satisfaction within the global tourism industry. As international competition within luxury travel continues to intensify, the award remains an important benchmark for trust and service quality.

For Lux Travel DMC, the 2026 recognition also reflects Vietnam’s growing position as a leading destination for experiential and luxury travel in Asia. Increasingly, international travelers are seeking destinations that combine cultural richness, natural beauty, and authentic local interaction with high-quality personalized service.

“As traveler expectations continue to evolve, we believe the future of luxury travel will be defined by personalization, authenticity, and responsible experiences,” added Mr. Pham Ha. “This recognition encourages us to continue innovating while staying true to the values that have guided our company for more than two decades.”

Vietnam’s Tourism Growth Creates New Opportunities for Global Partners

Vietnam continues its rapid ascent as a premier long-haul destination. In 2024, the country welcomed a record 17.6 million international visitors, surpassing pre-pandemic records. The first half of 2025 saw arrivals surge to nearly 10.7 million—an impressive 21% year-on-year growth. With UK travelers increasingly prioritizing authentic and luxury experiences in Vietnam, the market presents immense potential for international travel operators seeking reliable, high-quality partners.

The company’s focus is on delivering tailor-made luxury travel solutions that enrich partner portfolios and meet the sophisticated demands of today’s travelers.
