Planning family, incentive or corporate groups from India to Vietnam in 2027? Here is what to ask your ground partner – and what Metta Voyage brings to OTM Mumbai 2027 (1–3 February, Jio World Convention Centre), Booth PC607.
- Direct flights: Hanoi is now non-stop from Delhi (IndiGo) and Mumbai (Akasa Air, with IndiGo adding a daily Mumbai service from 25 October 2026). Indian passport holders use Vietnam’s e-visa – plan the lead time.
- Food: Indian and Jain vegetarian meals on request on all routes, confirmed with every restaurant.
- Group terms: 1 FOC per 16 paid rooms, net rates, 30% deposit and balance 45 days before departure. We never contact your clients directly.
- Routes: 6–8 days Hanoi – Ha Long Bay – Da Nang & Hoi An; longer with Ninh Binh, Saigon and the Mekong, or Cambodia and Thailand; MICE in Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City.
- Support: one coordinator per group and a 24/7 hotline.
- See it yourself: FAM Trip Vietnam 2027 in May 2027.
Five questions to ask any Vietnam DMC
- Is the company licensed for international tourism? In Vietnam, only operators holding an international tour operator licence may organise tours for foreign guests. Ask for the licence number and check that it matches the company on your contract.
- Who confirms the meals? “Vegetarian on request” is not enough for Jain or strict vegetarian groups. Ask whether each restaurant on the itinerary has been briefed in advance, and what happens on a cruise or in a remote area.
- Whose brand do your clients see? Check that vouchers, itineraries and guide introductions carry your agency’s name, and that the DMC never approaches your clients for repeat business.
- What are the payment terms and the FOC policy? Get the deposit, balance deadline and complimentary-room rule in writing before you quote your own clients.
- Who is on call when something goes wrong? Ask for one named coordinator for the whole group and a hotline that answers at night, not just a sales email.
