Crystal Holidays Harbour Van Don Ranks as a Key Hotel of Centara Hotels & Resorts

Crystal Holidays Harbour Van Don has been recognized as one of the five key hotels of Centara Hotels & Resorts during the period of 2024-2027. After more than three years of being affected by Covid-19, the tourism industry in Vietnam is slowly recovering but still lagging behind. The number of tourists has increased, but mainly domestic tourists, accounting for over 80% of the total. On the other hand, international tourists visiting Vietnam in 2023 only reached 12.6 million, while Malaysia received over 29 million and Thailand over 27 million.

To address this issue, the domestic tourism market in Vietnam needs to be refreshed with new and appealing destinations that are connected to the global tourism system. The launch of Crystal Holidays Harbour Van Don is expected to bring a fresh breeze to the northern tourism market, awakening the immense potential of Van Don and Bai Tu Long Bay. This project is invested in accordance with international 5-star standards and professionally managed by Centara Hotels & Resorts, one of the world’s leading travel brands, which will contribute to changing the face of tourism in Van Don and the Northeast region of Vietnam as a whole.

Through the collaboration between investors and renowned management brands, these hotels will be professionally operated and standardized according to brand standards, elevating the Vietnamese tourism market to compete globally. Big names in hotel management such as Centara Hotels & Resorts, Accor, Marriott, InterContinental, and Hilton have entered the game and brought a breath of fresh air to the tourism industry in Vietnam.

Centara Hotels & Resorts, as a key member of Central Group (Thailand), has a hotel network spreading across Asia, including countries like the Maldives, Sri Lanka, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, China, Japan, Oman, Qatar, Cambodia, Turkey, Indonesia, and the UAE. In Vietnam, Centara has successfully operated the Centara Mirage Mui Ne resort in Phan Thiet, which was voted as the “Best Luxury Family Resort in Vietnam in 2023” by Luxury Lifestyle Awards Resorts.

Following the success of Centara Mirage Mui Ne, Centara chose Crystal Holidays Harbour Van Don to expand its business in Northern Vietnam. According to Andrew Langston, Senior Vice President of Business Development at Centara Hotels & Resorts, Crystal Holidays Harbour Van Don is a resort complex with high-end entertainment facilities. It benefits from modern transportation infrastructure, including airports, highways, and ports. Its prime location next to Bai Tu Long Bay and the ancient Van Don commercial center makes it an attractive new tourist destination. With over 2,000 hotel rooms and vacation apartments, an international conference center with 1,500 seats, and a large commercial center, it can cater to all the needs of both domestic and international tourists, including leisure, entertainment, shopping, and conferences.

With its global experience in hotel management, Centara will strategically plan the operation of Crystal Holidays Harbour Van Don to optimize its performance and make it an attractive destination for both domestic and international tourists. The hotel occupancy rate is expected to remain high and stable, increasing the value of the project’s real estate and benefiting customers.

“If Centara Mirage Mui Ne and Crystal Holidays Harbour Van Don are compared as ‘Worlds within Heritage,’ then Centara Hotels & Resorts’ management experience will guarantee that the resort operates efficiently and dynamically throughout the year, providing sustainable benefits for the investors and discerning customers,” emphasized Andrew Langston.

In conclusion, Crystal Holidays Harbour Van Don’s recognition as one of Centara Hotels & Resorts’ key hotels for the period 2024-2027 highlights the potential of Van Don as a new and attractive tourism destination. With the expertise of Centara Hotels & Resorts, the resort is expected to bring success and sustainable benefits to both the investors and the savvy travelers.
