The Guide Awards is an annual event to celebrate the best products and services in Vietnam's tourism and hospitality sector.

The Guide Awards Ceremony is to honor excellent achievements in the tourism industry in 2012 – 2013, as well as the best travel agents/DMCs in the field.

The honorees are initially nominated by readers of the life style and luxury magazine, with the shortlist presented to the executive board of the Guide. Travel, hotel, restaurant and shopping experts are invited to assist the board in making their decision; this includes representatives from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Vietnam.

This year Luxury Travel received a Guide Award with the title “The Finest and Most Innovative Travel and Tour Operator”. This recognition was due to the fact that Lux is innovative and creates a great working environment for its people, as well as applying new technology to improve quality and operations processes.
