Vidotour In Focus
Community Support After Floods
Following the severe floods in Central Vietnam, Vidogroup—together with CEO Nguyễn Tuyết Mai—provided essential goods and financial aid to affected families.
On 7 December, the team visited Nha Trang to deliver relief items directly to several impacted neighbourhoods, offering timely support as residents worked to recover.
The initiative underscored Vidogroup’s dedication to practical, community-first assistance.
Christmas Cheer at Vidotour
On 19 December 2025, a cozy Christmas party and birthday celebration for December-born team members was held at Vidotour’s head office in Ho Chi Minh City. It was a warm and joyful occasion for staff to come together, relax, have fun, and unwind after busy workdays.
This spirit of togetherness truly reflects the culture of Vidogroup.
