On 18 September 2026, Seni World Travel Co., Ltd – the company behind Vietnamtour.in – was officially welcomed as a member of the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA), the leading travel and tourism association in Asia Pacific. Registered under membership ID 9464, with the current membership term running from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, it is a milestone we have worked towards for a long time, and one we are proud to share with everyone who has travelled with us.
About the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA)
For most travellers, PATA is not a household name. Inside the travel industry, it is one of the names that matters most in this part of the world.
Founded in 1951 and headquartered in Bangkok, PATA is a not-for-profit association that has championed the responsible development of travel and tourism across Asia Pacific for 75 years. It brings governments and businesses to the same table and produces research, advocacy and training that shape how tourism grows across the region. Its members include national tourism boards, airlines, airports, hotel groups, tour operators, cruise lines, travel technology companies and universities, organised across 6 membership categories.
India’s own Ministry of Tourism has been part of PATA for more than 60 years. PATA also endorses the UN Global Code of Ethics for Tourism and asks its members to do the same — a commitment that sits comfortably beside the way we have always chosen to work.
What PATA Membership Means for Seni World Travel and Vietnamtour.in
For Seni World Travel, PATA membership is more than a line on a company profile. It brings recognition from the industry itself, access to PATA’s events, research and partner communities across Asia Pacific, and closer relationships with the hotels, airlines and operators that make a journey work. Nothing about how we operate changes. What changes is what now stands behind it.
Seni World Travel is the team behind Vietnamtour.in, all of that reaches you here. Every Vietnamtour.in trip is planned to the standards behind membership, drawing on the same network and the same on-ground expertise built over more than 10 years in Vietnam.
Today, Vietnamtour.in carries the same professionalism and expertise that Seni World Travel has built over the years, and that PATA has now recognised. What we add to it is a clear focus on one market: what Indian travellers look for when they visit Vietnam, and how we plan a trip around it:
-
A standard you can verify before you book. Booking a holiday abroad with a company you have never met takes trust. PATA membership gives travellers in India an independent name to check us against, alongside our own record of 428,000+ Indian Travellers and 46,000+ tours since 2015.
-
PATA’s network, used for what matters here. Membership opens doors to hotels, airlines and operators across Asia Pacific. We use those doors for properties with a service history of hosting Indian guests, and partners who can meet our meal and comfort requirements wherever the itinerary goes.
-
Familiar company in the same association. India’s Ministry of Tourism has been a PATA member for more than 60 years. Vietnamtour.in now sits inside the same network as the body that promotes travel at home.
-
A commitment we already hold ourselves to. PATA asks its members to follow the UN Global Code of Ethics for Tourism — the same standard we expect from our guides, hotels and partners on every Vietnam trip we run.
-
Recognition on top of recognition. Vietnamtour.in has been featured in The Times of India and recognised by the World Travel Awards and TripAdvisor’s Best of the Best. PATA membership adds the voice of the industry itself.
What Vietnamtour.in Brings to Every Journey
Since 2015, Vietnamtour.in has planned Vietnam holidays for travellers from India, and nothing else. That single focus is what shapes every service we offer:
-
Private and group tours built around your group. Honeymoon couples, families, friends and corporate groups each travel differently. Every itinerary balances sightseeing, culture, shopping and rest, from the landscapes of Ninh Binh and the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An to the Ho Chi Minh City skyline and the beaches of Phu Quoc.
-
Indian meals, wherever you go. Our restaurant and hotel partners across Vietnam put North Indian thalis and South Indian dosas on the table, including full vegetarian arrangements, so the food feels familiar even when the view does not.
-
Guides and hotels chosen for you. Our guides are at home in Vietnam and fluent in Indian customs, and the hotels we book have a service history with Indian guests — 4-star and above as standard.
-
Honeymoons, weddings and MICE. A romantic escape in Da Nang, a Ha Long Bay cruise, a wedding celebration or a company incentive trip. Décor, meals and pace stay customizable throughout.
-
Support on both sides. Our Delhi office keeps you in your own time zone before you fly, and our team in Vietnam handles everything from the airport pick-up onwards. We also take care of the paperwork, including the Vietnam e-visa for Indian passport holders.
-
One team, one itinerary. Hotels, domestic flights, guides and transfers are arranged by the same people who design your trip, so you have one point of contact from the first enquiry to the flight home. You can browse our Vietnam tour packages to see where to begin.
Looking Ahead
PATA membership is a starting point rather than a finish line, and we intend to use it.
-
Taking part, not just joining. We will take an active role in PATA’s events, forums and training programmes. What our team learns there will feed directly into how our consultants design itineraries, which partners we work with, and how we prepare you before you fly.
-
Raising service standards further. That means continued training for our consultants and guides, regular reviews of the hotels and transport providers we recommend, and closer attention to the moments that matter most: the first reply to your enquiry, the welcome at the airport, the quiet fix when something unexpected happens on the road.
-
Travelling responsibly. We remain committed to journeys that create real value for the communities our travellers meet, and that protect the landscapes and heritage that make Vietnam worth travelling to. It is a commitment we share with PATA.
To everyone who has travelled with us, recommended us to family, or planned a trip with our team over the years: thank you. This milestone is yours as well.
