2013 is the third consecutive year that Vietravel has been voted by TTG Asia - the leading travel magazine in the Asia-Pacific region - for the TTG Travel Awards 2013 (24th time).

The World Travel Awards (WTA) was established in 1993 and is held annually to honor the best service providers in the travel and tourism industry. Now, after 20 years of organization, WTA has expanded its scale worldwide and The Wall Street Journal Magazine calls it the "Oscars of the travel industry".

The award includes many nomination categories for the fields of tourism and travel industry including: Aviation, Hotels, Resorts, Travel Companies, Transportation, Cruises, Tourist Destinations... Vietravel is the only Vietnamese travel company to be voted for this award with two titles: Vietnam's Leading Tour Operator and Vietnam's Leading Travel Company.

This is considered a solid step forward, affirming Vietravel's position as not only the number 1 travel company in Vietnam but also the top 16 travel companies in Asia. This is the third consecutive year that Vietravel has achieved this position and maintained the above achievement for three consecutive years. This demonstrates Vietravel's quality and leading capacity in organizing and operating tours, recognized throughout Asia and the world.

The TTG Travel Awards were established in 1989 by TTG Asia newspaper. Initially, there were only 10 awards for titles. By 2013, after 24 times of organization, the TTG Travel Awards had a total of 82 winning organizations and businesses, belonging to 4 groups of industries and professions.

The 2013 voting round had a total of over 120,000 votes sent to TTG Asia after 3 months of implementation (from June to early August 2013), double the number of votes in 2012. TTG Asia is famous for its analysis of events and tourism markets of Asia-Pacific countries, winning many prestigious press awards from 1974 to present.
