Our name – Chào Asia Travel

Chào Asia Travel’s name, derived from the Vietnamese greeting “xin chào,” embodies the essence of hospitality and cultural immersion. “Xin chào!”—a simple word with the power to initiate a conversation and reveal the stories and heritage of a person, a destination, or a culture. It also has the power to conclude a conversation happily, much like how Spanish speakers bid farewell with “ciao” to their friends.
