“I am very excited to be involved in such a fantastic project as Angsana and Dhawa Ho Tram. We will be launching two resort brands in Ho Tram. Dhawa Hotel is the first project in Vietnam and Angsana is the second, both managed by the renowned Banyan Tree hotel management group. These two brands will set a new standard for resort living in Ho Tram. I have worked in Vung Tau for over two years and witnessed the transformation of Ho Tram, which has become a luxury destination with the participation of big names in the industry such as Park Hyatt, Mgallery, Melia, InterContinental and Movenpick.”
Joining Banyan Tree has been an exciting opportunity for me. As a brand highly regarded in the industry for its unique and innovative experiential values, commitment to sustainable development and social responsibility, what is most important is the way they train their people, their commitment, and their career development orientation for employees. We have provided local job opportunities and built professional training programs for our employees. We create community-oriented activities, which will be implemented throughout the year,” Clay shared.
