North Vietnam, and in particular the capital Hanoi and the famous Halong Bay, are seeing an increase in MICE projects for both meetings and incentives. The following new products and services are a great addition to the existing MICE portfolio our DMC partner in Vietnam offers their clients.

Legacy Yen Tu Resort – a new boutique 5* hotel close to Ha Long Bay

About 50 km from Ha Long Bay, on the road to Hanoi, we find the Yen Tu mountain. This is the ancestral land of Truc Lam Zen Buddhism and has been the destination for spiritual pilgrims for centuries. Since the Tran dynasty in the 13^th century different pagodas, towers, and temples have been constructed. At the same time, the mountain has maintained its natural diversity. This idyllic setting is the inspiration for the traditional architecture and décor for the Legacy Yen Tu resort with 133 rooms.

It was built by the nearby villagers with handcrafted materials and ancient construction methods. Spending a night in one of the luxury rooms is a true testament to the rich history of this sacred place. Legacy Yen Tu resort is the first boutique hotel option close to Ha Long Bay that can accommodate MICE groups. Making those long trips back to the capital after a day cruise are a thing of the past. It has a large conference hall of 852m² seating 600 delegates and the venue can be broken up into 5 separate meeting rooms. The Legacy Yen Tu resort offers trekking, adventure activities, a wellness spa and meditation center. It really is an exceptional option for incentives and management meetings in Vietnam.

Cocktails and sightseeing – what a combination!

Looking for that conversation starter at the beginning of your event? Hop On Hop Off Vietnam now offers an experience that does just that. Get on one of their well-known double decker coaches for a private cocktail reception. Up to 40 participants per bus can take in the sights of Hanoi and get a great overview of the city while relaxing with cocktails in hand.

Meet Dr. Marc Rapoport and get an interactive introduction to Vietnam’s ethnic minorities

Dr. Marc Rapoport first came to Vietnam as a volunteer physician in 1969. At the time, few American doctors gave medical attention to the ethnic people of central Vietnam. During his work, he developed an interest in the local cultures and started collecting old artifacts. After collecting over 1000 antiquities, he opened a gallery on Hang Bun street. At “54 Traditions”, Dr. Rappaport shares his passion and knowledge of the cultures of central Vietnam with delegates. Some of the activities include: a round table discussion with a woman from an ethnic minority, making traditional Batik beeswax patterns on textiles and a discussion with an active shaman from the northern mountains. Dr. Rapoport also holds private lectures in larger venues for meetings and incentive groups.
