About TNK Travel
For over 25 years, TNK Travel has designed journeys across Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand for millions of travelers — built on honest pricing, real local relationships, and a growing commitment to sustainable and community-based tourism.
TNK Travel was established in 2001, at the dawn of the new millennium — a meaning captured directly in our name, T.N.K, Thiên Niên Kỷ. What started as a small team of 6 has grown, over more than 25 years, into one of the country’s leading inbound tour operators, with a professional in-house transport fleet and a team spanning management, sales, marketing and operations. In 2003 we launched a dedicated Japanese-market department, which proved successful enough to become an independent sister company by 2005. TNK Travel has been operating online since 2003, and was recognized among the Top 10 Inbound Tour Operators in Ho Chi Minh City in 2014 and 2015.
Our Mission
To give every traveler an honest, well-cared-for journey through Vietnam and its neighbors — and to make sure the communities and landscapes we visit are left better off, not just visited. We measure a good trip not only by what our travelers experience, but by what it gives back.
Trà Mi Nguyễn
CEO, TNK Travel Group
While others chase trends, we choose transformation — from within our people to the way our travelers experience the world, their well-being, and their sense of connection.
As CEO of TNK Travel — a long-standing inbound tour operator based in Ho Chi Minh City under TNK Travel Group — my role is not just about management, but about reimagining how a Vietnamese travel company connects with the global market. Our approach is centered on:
- Genuine, high-quality products
- Efficient, transparent systems
- A commitment to sustainable value for both customers and society
Why TNK Travel
Licensed & Experienced
International Tour Operator License No. 79-102/2010/TCDL_GP LHQT, granted by the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, backed by over 25 years in business.
Transparent Pricing
You won’t find hidden costs in our tours — the price you’re quoted is the price you pay.
Professional Team
An experienced, professional team at every stage of your trip — from planning through to the journey itself.
Tailor-Made Journeys
From set itineraries to fully custom trips, built around what our travelers actually want to experience.
A Trip Worth Remembering
A genuine commitment to making every journey with us one worth remembering — not just another itinerary.
Our Products & Services
We offer three core types of experiences. Our S.I.C. (seat-in-coach) tours depart daily from Vietnam’s major tourist cities — each with its own set of daily routes, including Ho Chi Minh City (Mekong Delta, Cu Chi Tunnels), Da Nang (Hoi An, Hue, DMZ) and Ha Noi (Halong Bay, Ninh Binh, Sapa). Alongside our daily departures, we design fully private tours built around each traveler’s own schedule and interests, and package tours that bundle transport, accommodation and guided experiences into one seamless trip.
We’re trusted by millions of travelers across Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand, and we’re also a shareholder of Signature Cruises in Halong Bay, offering everything from custom celebrations and day trips to longer cruises on the bay.
Sustainable Travel
With over two decades in responsible tourism, we’ve built direct, ongoing partnerships with communities across Vietnam — not one-off transactions, but relationships built to last. For every sustainable tour booking, TNK Travel commits to planting native trees in the communities visited, supporting local education programs, and funding conservation projects in national parks, with a transparent impact report showing travelers exactly how their trip made a difference.
Our guides complete cultural sensitivity training, and our operations are backed by environmental certifications from international organizations — because protecting the places we bring travelers to is part of how we do business, not an afterthought.
Community-Based Tourism
Tourism should leave communities better off, not just visited. That belief shapes how we design our community-based experiences: direct partnerships that ensure local families and artisans see a fair share of the benefit, and itineraries built around real cultural exchange rather than staged photo stops.
Travelers can live with ethnic families and learn traditional crafts firsthand on our multi-day Sapa cultural immersion journeys, or join Mekong Delta experiences built around sustainable fishing and floating-garden village life — tourism that supports the people and traditions it touches, and gives travelers something far more genuine in return.
