The Huong Hai Group is recognized as the first organization to bring an overnight boat service into operation in Ha Long Bay. Since then, this service has grown to become the most well-liked and well-known option for tourists from the home country as well as tourists from other countries. Since the year 2007, when the Huong Hai Group first introduced the luxury cruise line known as Indochina Sails to the market, the company has consistently ranked among the most successful companies offering overnight cruises to visitors in the high-end market sector. Spend some time in Ha Long Bay, which is a World Heritage Site, Indochina Sails has a focus on investing in the purpose of constantly giving clients with the most professional and high-class service, from facilities to ideal services, with a long-term vision and a perspective of sustainable growth in mind. This has allowed the company to concentrate on its investments. After its foundation, Indochina Sails today owns five luxury overnight cruises that leave daily from Ha Long Bay (three Indochina Sails ships and two Valentine ships). Additionally, Indochina Sails has the biggest and most elegant yachts on the Mekong River. Both of these accomplishments were accomplished in the spirit of professional and sustainable growth.

In the year 2020, the tourist sector is facing a lot of challenges as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak. According to a projection made by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the projected amount of damage that Vietnam's tourism sector has sustained up to this point is around 23 billion USD; after more than half a year of struggle, almost 95% of foreign travel agents shuttered their doors. Due to its location in an industry that is experiencing widespread challenges, the number of tourists that visited the Indochina Sails system saw a significant decline. Nevertheless, before the Government's strategy of encouraging domestic tourism, Indochina Sails rapidly had prompt reaction plans to maintain and manage the yacht system and to strive to reduce the number of workers and employees who were laid off. Mrs. Le Phuong Nhi, Managing Director of Indochine and Indochina Sails, shared that after determining that the domestic market is the primary source of tourists, the airline has researched the requirements of Vietnamese tourists in order to deploy services; at the same time, open the best offer package, with a discount of up to 35% and a commitment to keep the service value. Moreover, in the course of providing services to tourists, the airline adheres to all of the necessary protocols for the avoidance of infectious diseases and the promotion of passenger safety.

In the festive season at the end of the year and welcoming the new year 2021, Mrs. Le Phuong Nhi further informed that the airline is proposing a preferential package for guests staying on the yacht and combining it with a seaplane to enjoy the panoramic view of Ha Long Bay from above. high – a new product that brings unique experiences, fully explores the beauty of Vietnam; Or run installment tours with 0% interest rate applicable to all promotional products, flexible terms. At present, it can be said that, with flexible and adaptive policies in the difficult context of many businesses, including Indochina Sails, it is not only a solution for businesses to maintain operations and stimulate tourism demand. The domestic market is opening up opportunities for Vietnamese tourists to experience high-class and luxury travel services at the most affordable prices in the country. However, along with the flexibility of businesses, in order for tourism to overcome the difficult period soon, provincial governments need to conduct long-term stimulus promotion programs including reducing entrance fees. This is also a practical and effective measure to support and join hands with businesses to launch stimulus packages for domestic tourism.
