Firstly, we love Saigon, its way of living and culture. By holding tours, we’d like to introduce foreign friends to our welcome city. Secondly, the project is a practical environment for us – Hospitality & Tourism students to practice what we have learned at school. Furthermore, we have chance to improve our English.
