Vietnam's largest travel company suddenly plans to change its name

Vietnam Tourism and Transport Marketing Joint Stock Company ( Vietravel , code VTR) has just announced its financial report for the first quarter of 2025 with net revenue reaching 1,294 billion VND, an increase of 8.16% over the same period last year.

However, the company's after-tax profit only reached VND5.9 billion, down more than 52%. The main reason was that the cost of goods sold increased by nearly 8%, selling expenses increased by nearly 30% and interest expenses increased sharply by 34.7%.

According to documents submitted to the 2025 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, Vietravel set a target of net revenue this year of VND9,549 billion, an increase of 42% compared to 2024. However, pre-tax profit is only expected to reach VND50 billion, down 11%.

The company is accelerating digital transformation, with the goal of revenue from online platforms accounting for 12–15% of total revenue from retail customers (FIT) and international customers. At the same time, revenue from the international market is also expected to account for at least 10% of total revenue, double the current level.
