◆MyRealTrip Enhances Local Services in Vietnam, Top Southeast Asian Destination
MyRealTrip is strengthening its local services in Vietnam, which ranks first in tour and activity transactions. The company reports that South Korean travelers have increasingly favored independent travel, particularly to Vietnam during peak summer and winter holiday seasons.
In response to the growing demand for independent travel, MyRealTrip has significantly improved the quality of its airport pickup and drop-off services at Cam Ranh International Airport, the most sought-after location. The company has deployed dedicated staff and branded vehicles to reduce confusion for travelers, and introduced new vehicles and an instant confirmation system.
Additionally, in collaboration with local partners such as Benaza, Da Nang Ghost, and Phu Quoc Ghost, MyRealTrip has established a QR-based reservation system across 36 local locations and 258 touchpoints, allowing travelers to easily book various tour products by scanning QR codes inside vehicles or at local points.
A MyRealTrip representative stated, "We started by considering what travelers need most, most often. Our goal is to create a 'complete connection of travel experiences' from the moment they arrive at the airport until their last moments enjoying the destination."
