Hanoi, December 10, 2024 – HOTLIST Travellive Editor’s Picks is an annual event organized by Travellive Media Group to celebrate exceptional brands and individuals with outstanding contributions to the tourism and hospitality industry over the past year.

This year, HOTLIST 2024 honored more than 40 hotels, resorts, cruises, destinations, and quality tourism organizations and 12 Inspirational Travel Influencers of the year. The HOTLIST 2024 is sponsored by Ford Vietnam and LG.

Especially, for the first time, HOTLIST 2024 will be held on 18th December 2024 at the Hotel Nikko Saigon with two meaningful events: The Insiders Forum and the Honor Ceremony Gala Night, aiming to create a significant event where industry experts converge, connect, and share experiences, and provide an opportunity for businesses in the tourism industry to expand networks and cooperation.

The Insiders Forum

The tourism industry is rapidly changing with new emerging trends like sustainable tourism and smart tech as well as changes in the behavior of the new generation of customers. The Insiders Forum, organized by

• Panel Session 2: Next-Gen TravelIt unveils fresh perspectives and potential growth opportunities for tourism product businesses. Leveraging digital technology, artificial intelligence, and personalized service can differentiate tourism enterprises and attract international visitors.

The Honor Ceremony Gala Night – ‘Golden Cocoon, Silver Cocoon‘ (Kén Vàng Kén Bạc)

In addition to the networking forum and sharing of tourism development trends, HOTLIST 2024 also organizes a Gala Night themed “Kén vàng, Kén Bạc – Golden Cocoon, Silver Cocoon” – a special occasion to mark remarkable achievements and honor excellent brands and inspirational individuals of the year.

Inspired by the transformative journey from “cocoon” to “silk,” the honoring ceremony celebrates brands with the potential to shape the future of tourism through innovative products, services, and sustainable practices. For instance, Zannier Hotels Bai San Ho is committed to sustainable development and environmental protection, while Fusion Resort & Villas Da Nang offers unique health and wellness programs. Premier Village Phu Quoc Managed By Accor has also made significant strides in sustainability over the past year. Just as silk – a precious material, the honored organizations and individuals are expected to continue to be creative, drive innovation, and improve the quality of their products and services.

Moreover, “Kén” in “kén chọn” (selective process) indicates a selective and discerning process, reflecting Travellive Media Group’s commitment to meticulously selecting and honoring the most deserving individuals and organizations. HOTLIST 2024 not only emphasizes seriousness and care in honoring, but also affirms the value of selection and excellence with premium brands such as Amanoi Ninh Thuan, Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai Hoi An, Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi, Luna Halong Cruise, or inspirational individuals who have a positive impact on the industry such as Quang Vinh, Tran Dang Dang Khoa, Khoai Lang Thang, Helly Tong, Ly Thanh Co, Tam Bui, Ha La La, Vinh Gau, Quy Coc Tu, etc.

The event is not only a meaningful year-end gathering for tourism businesses to network and expand cooperation, but the Gala is also a space for art exhibitions, enjoying music, and admiring Vietnamese silk products – where contemporary beauty blends with culture and tradition.
