Since 2004, Vietnam Original Travel has established itself as a trustworthy local travel agency in Vietnam, officially recognized by the Vietnamese authorities.

We hold two essential licenses that allow us to operate legally and offer quality services to international travelers:

• Professional License No. 01024/TCDL – GPLHQT issued by the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism.

• Business License No. 0102388399 issued by the Ministry of Planning and Investment of Vietnam.

These authorizations, required for any local travel agency in Vietnam organizing tours for foreign clients, reflect our professionalism, transparency, and commitment to responsible tourism.

Financial Guarantee and Legal Compliance

To ensure financial security for all our travel services, Vietnam Original Travel maintains a mandatory deposit with Vietcombank.

This guarantee protects our travelers and demonstrates our reliability. Any legitimate local travel agency in Vietnam must meet these strict financial obligations, ensuring full accountability in the event of unforeseen circumstances.

Beware of Unlicensed or Illegal Agencies

Today, some online platforms falsely present themselves as “local travel agencies in Vietnam” but operate without the required licenses.

They build attractive websites, offer unrealistically low prices, and claim to be “local experts” without any official recognition.

These companies are not registered with the Vietnam National Association of Local Travel Agencies, which represents professionals adhering to national laws and industry standards.

In the event of disputes or cancellations, such illegal operators have no registered office, no legal representative, and no responsibility toward clients — exposing travelers to major financial losses and ruined vacations with no legal recourse.

Independent and Unauthorized Guides: Beware of False Professionalism

We also urge travelers to be cautious of freelance guides who work without official authorization.

Even if they speak fluent English or French, they are not legally allowed to lead tours unless affiliated with a licensed local travel agency in Vietnam.

Their activities are considered illegal by the Vietnamese tourism authorities and can lead to penalties for both the guides and their clients.
