Luxury Travel launches a new website to promote halal tours and holidays to Indochina.

This is a unique online brand, offering truly great holiday experiences with an Islamic ethos. The company’s aim is to provide a holiday experience that is in harmony with Islam. The featured hotels and resorts do not serve alcohol in rooms upon request, and have segregated swimming pools, leisure areas and spa facilities for men and women. Further, on some chartered cruises on Halong Bay, all food on board is sea food.

“VietnamHalalHolidays.com is a brand with a state-of-the-art information website, which provides you with full unbiased information and allows booking of your dream halal holidays, which are fully tailored to your individual needs,” said Pham Ha, founder and CEO of Luxury Travel Ltd. “The Muslim population within Brunei, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia shows immense potential.

Demand from this segment is picking up and is expected to increase, thanks to direct flights between Southeast Asian countries, including the newest flight to Ho Chi Minh City from Jakarta four times per week. Also, no visa is needed for most citizens traveling between ASEAN countries. And with nearly 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, the potential market is huge. We expect to receive 600-800 Muslim holiday-makers in 2013 with a new concept.”

According to Luxury Travel, about 23 per cent of the world population is Muslim. Of these, around 62 per cent live in Asia – Pacific, 20 per cent in the Middle East- North Africa,15 per cent in Sub Saharan Africa, around 3 per cent in Europe and 0.3 per cent in the Americas.

Ha stressed that the number of tourist arrivals increased thanks to direct flights to Hanoi, Danang and Ho Chi Minh City from Kuala Lumpur. The company enjoyed 30 percent growth in central Vietnam, where Luxury Travel opened a new office a few month ago.

The company will attend Selangor Matta Islamic Travel Fair in Malaysia from December 7-9, 2012.
According to VNAT, during the first nine months of 2012, the number of visitors from Malaysia to Vietnam was 210,805, an increase of 125.4 per cent from the previous period.
