Local travel agency in Vietnam, how does it work?

Your reliable agency in Vietnam & Indochina
According to Vietnamese tourism law, any travel agency is considered legal, and above all has the right to offer/organize its tourist circuits (trips, stays or products) to foreign tourists, for their trip to Vietnam and/or outside Vietnam when it officially and legally holds the following two licenses:
- A Business License of TYPIC travel, issued by the Ministry of Planning and Investment: License No: 0106743189
- A professional and special license in Tourism (International Tour Operator) issued by the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (Called since January 2024 by National Tourism Department), directly under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism: TYPIC travel International Tour Operator License No: 01-817 / TCDL - GPLHQT (VNAT)

Why is it necessary to have these licenses?
Because all these procedures aim to ensure that the travel agency is a real company and has professional competence and sufficient financial capacity to build its travel programs, and for the organization of these trips with services for foreign tourists, with the aim of protecting foreign tourists traveling to Vietnam or to other countries that are part of its destinations.
And because there are still, to this day, many anonymous agencies without this License with just one or more websites offering any product and any price and then disappearing after the tourist's payment.
