Hi Dears! Have a nice day! I am Ha, a Travel Consultant & Tour Operator of YESD. I am grateful for the opportunity to work at Yesd and contribute to the company’s sustainable tourism development. Working here, I find joy in the work, fron the little things like supporting customers to personalize their experiences, supporting new guides on board, training, and company trips… I also learn a lot from the tourists, tour guides, homestay or accommodation owners, and other young members in YESD’s team. I hope that our company will grow more and more and can spread the community values that the company Is aiming for to more people around the world.
Hi, I’m Chi from the Marketing Partnership team at YESD. My work gives me many opportunities to travel here and there and meet many different people from various ethnic minority groups. More than that, through every project we have done, I hope we can somehow improve local people’s daily lives and inspire more children to go to school for a better future.
I will escort you on Ha Giang motorbike or car tour very often if you travel with YESD. Luckily I and my wife both work in tourism industry so she sympathize with my absence when I’m on tour. I have worked with YESD for 3 years. I really like YESD’s working spirit when they care of the local communities, educate local people how to protect the environment or give local guides some medical and professional training courses. Wish all the best to come with our organization. See all of you soon after the pandemic.
I was used to be a disoriented boy and felt lost in my future career. Until I met V4D non-profit organization where I learnt English and then YESD where I could use my English to work as an English tour guide. Now I have a small family with a little boy and I love my job so much. This job gives me income that is not stable but not so bad. It shows my passion on tourism and pride of my ethnic cultures.
I started to learn English 4 years ago. It has brought great value to my life. Thanks to YESD, I had a chance to study English and tourism skills. I am a local guide and earn more money to support my small family. My English is still not really good but I will improve it day by day. The more you travel with YESD, the better my English will be. Your sincerely friend, tour guide 🙂
Real stories from travelers who joined YESD for authentic, responsible, and locally connected travel experiences in Vietnam.
Well what can I say about my Ha Chiang loop trip I did with Yesd. They were excellent from start to finish. As a 54 year old man I did the loop solo with my driver Chinh as I wanted to avoid the happy water and karaoke aspect. Chinh understood this perfectly and took me on a fabulous trip. We took local routes when he could, avoiding some of main routes. He kept ahead of the ‘Mongolian army’ as he called the throngs of other loopers and often arrived at view points before they arrived …
It was a unique experience that allowed me to truly experience sustainable tourism. The activities took place in breathtaking landscapes and gave us the opportunity to learn firsthand about the traditions and lifestyle of the local communities. The team was very attentive and took care of every detail to ensure we enjoyed our stay to the fullest.
Realmente lo recomiendo! es una manera hermosa de descubrir Ha Giang y, al mismo tiempo, contribuir a un turismo responsable.
An amazing experience! Incredible guides! You almost feel privileged compared to other groups. The accommodation is top-notch; the house, the welcome, the meals—everything is perfect. The mountain trek is magical, the motorbike trek is insane, incredible views the whole time, and super enriching stories. Thank you again to the entire YESD Travel team; they are truly wonderful people.
