BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Yen earned her Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, majoring in Tourism Management, in 2005. She built her career working with leading companies in the tourism, golf, and hospitality sectors in Southern Vietnam. In 2009, she took a leap into entrepreneurship, founding ALObooking, a hotel booking service catering to the domestic market. Within just two years, ALObooking became one of Vietnam’s top 10 local hotel booking websites.
Driven by a passion to showcase Vietnam’s beauty to the world, Yen launched ALO Travel Asia (ATA) in 2012, expanding her vision beyond hotel bookings to offer curated travel experiences for international visitors. She is currently the Managing Director of Kovena in Vietnam, a payment solution for the hospitality and tourism industry from Australia.
“I have always had a deep love for travel. Before college, I was torn between choosing Tourism and Trading as a career path. I followed my heart and chose Tourism—and later co-founded ALO Travel Asia. Turning my passion into a business was truly a dream come true. Like many entrepreneurs, I’ve been deeply involved in growing my company, but I always make time to explore new places across Vietnam and Southeast Asia. You could say I’ve been bitten by the ‘Travel Bug’—and I wouldn’t have it any other way!”
Fascinated by new cultures and destinations, Anh achieved her Bachelor at University of Languages and International Studies, Vietnam National University in 2010. Started working in tourism since 2011, been traveling intensively throughout South East Asia and helping thousands of travelers plan their exotic voyages to Indochina, she progressed to fully certified Sales Manager of two well-known travel companies before co-founded her own agency, ALO Travel Asia.
“I am in love with cities I have never been to and people I have never met. I believe travel is essential to a completed education, by seeing the world via different lens and accumulating experiences to the utmost. Our South East Asia, home of numerous cultural heritages and natural world wonders, holds a powerful attraction for many tourists and travelers that can sometimes be overwhelmed for first-time visitors. We build ALO Travel Asia with a team of Asian travel experts to help ease all these planning steps while optimizing travelers’ valuable time in our region, exposing to the richest cultural and historical offerings. Born in Hanoi, living in Ho Chi Minh, when I am not working, you will probably find me on a plane to a new destination.”
