Pham Thi Minh Huong - a businesswoman with 'national virtues' that illuminates bravery in the land of a million elephants

In the Vietnamese business community in Laos, there is a woman who is always mentioned with admiration and respect: Pham Thi Minh Huong.

She is not only the Chairwoman of the Board of Directors and General Director of Gold Phuc Company, a member of the Standing Committee of the General Association of Vietnamese in Laos, Vice President of the Association of Vietnamese Entrepreneurs Abroad... but also a symbol of resilience, creativity and service. Her journey, from a woman starting a business in a foreign land to becoming the investor of the first green 5-star Resort in a Golf course in Laos, is a story imbued with the breath of Vietnamese determination.

Courage from the early days of starting a business

Far from home, amidst the differences in language, culture and law, Ms. Huong once thought she could not overcome. But instead of giving up, she chose to calmly learn, respect the local laws, and blend into the local lifestyle and customs.

In that environment, a Vietnamese businessman has persistently built trust and achieved success in mineral exploitation investment, consulting, investment cooperation connection, making practical contributions to job creation for local people, contributing to the Lao State budget, and developing the local socio -economy.

“I chose to combine the Vietnamese and Lao teams to complement each other. It was the companionship and respect that helped us overcome difficulties,” she recalled.

Imprint: When luxury "shakes hands" with nature

While many businessmen are busy chasing after glamour, Ms. Pham Thi Minh Huong chooses a different direction: Sustainable development. Gold Phuc's 5-star green resort is not only luxurious, but also blends into the vast nature of 550 hectares, with solar energy, modern water and waste management processes and local materials.

Visitors here not only relax, but also live green: ride electric cars, plant trees, and enjoy organic cuisine . Here, class lies not only in five-star service, but also in the humane experience of responsibility to the Earth.

Ms. Huong shared: "The future belongs to sustainable development. Resorts must not only be luxurious but also in harmony with nature."

Class goes hand in hand with virtue

What is special about Ms. Huong is her business philosophy: "Class goes hand in hand with national virtue". To her, class is integration, international standards, and national virtue is the root of kindness, affection and Vietnamese identity.

In each project bearing the Gold Phuc brand, she always conveys the image of Vietnamese people: Modern but loyal, integrated but still maintaining national character.

Business and community: Two parallel streams

At Gold Phuc, the business does not stand apart from the community, but is in harmony with local life. She cooperates with farmers and artisans, bringing handicrafts and clean agricultural products to the resort. Tourists have more local experiences, and locals have more sustainable livelihoods.

She believes that: "A strong business must develop together with the community and nature around it."

When businessmen become "people's diplomats"

People still call Ms. Huong a “people’s diplomat”. For her, doing business anywhere means representing the image of Vietnam there. She sees each project and each meeting as an opportunity to foster the special friendship between Vietnam and Laos.

Not only doing business, she also participates in community, educational and cultural activities as a soft but solid bridge connecting the two nations.

Women and the desire to go far

In the business world, which is often associated with thorns, Pham Thi Minh Huong's image is proof that women can absolutely step up to the forefront. "Women have the softness to connect, but also the courage to lead," she emphasized.

She also looks beyond herself, towards the global community of Vietnamese female entrepreneurs: connecting knowledge and resources, spreading the spirit of charity and volunteerism, and accompanying overseas Vietnamese.

Towards a green future

Her dream does not stop at the current resort. Gold Phuc is planning to expand to low-carbon resorts, connect with a global green hotel network, and organize international seminars on “Zero Carbon”.

It is not only a business aspiration, but also a dream to make Vietnam a pioneer in the world's sustainable development trend.

Message on Vietnamese Entrepreneurs Day

On the occasion of Vietnamese Entrepreneurs Day October 13, she sent the message:

“Vietnamese businessmen should be confident, united and work towards the goal of both economic development and spreading national values. We not only enrich ourselves, but also bring benefits to the community and the country, contributing to building the image of Vietnam as a prestigious and responsible country in the eyes of international friends."
