New GM for Vung Tau's Ho Tram Beach Resort & Spa |
Most resorts celebrate just one grand opening. Not so with the Ho
Tram Beach Resort & Spa in Vietnam.
After launching operations in the spring of 2006, the Ho Tram
(formerly Ho Tram Osaka Resort) closed ranks a year later, nearly
doubled its size, and brought in a new management company. Last
month, the Ho Tram relaunched under management by the Life Resorts,
a Dutch resort company that owns and operates two resorts and
manages several others in Vietnam. Heading up the new Life Resorts
team at Ho Tram is May Tin, a Swiss and Australian-trained manager
who most recently worked at the Sir Stamford at Circular Quay and
Sir Stamford Double Bay in Sydney, Australia. "May Tin knows
boutique hotels. She knows the international market, and she
understands the expectations that foreign travelers pack along with
their clothes, toiletries and beach reading," said Chris Duffy,
General Director of the Life Resorts Management. "As she ensures
that Ho Tram meets the Life Resorts standards, she'll be laying
out the welcome mat to not only a great boutique resort, but to an
area that's not yet popular with international travelers, but
should be soon." At the same time, the 50,000 square-meter resort
put in the new management team; the Ho Tram also boosted its
portfolio of rooms from 38 to 63 and integrated a new swimming pool
onto the beachfront property. Tin's role will include training
staff and bringing the resort's service to international
standards, as it aims to draw more of an overseas market. "I've
always had a passion for the boutique hotel experience," Tin said.
"It's one of the reasons I'm so excited about coming to the Ho
Tram. This place is really a diamond in the rough. It has a unique
personality all its own, but with all the amenities you expect at a
top-notch resort." The resort is located just two hours by car from
downtown Ho Chi Minh City.
