Celebrating success in style: Our final Gold Trip of the year in vibrant Vietnam

There’s something truly special about our Gold trips - they’re more than just a reward for exceptional achievement; they’re a celebration of shared success, friendship, and the spirit that makes Travel Counsellors so unique.

And our final Gold trip of the year, set against the colourful backdrop of Vietnam, was no exception.

An unforgettable welcome

The celebrations began with a lively welcome dinner at the Sofitel Legend Metropole in Hanoi, where friends reunited, stories were shared, and the excitement for the days ahead filled the air.

Exploring Vietnam – together

Over the next few days, our Gold achievers explored the best of northern Vietnam. Vespa and Jeep tours revealed the vibrant heart of Hanoi, while a street food tour gave everyone a true taste of local life - from sizzling street-side dishes to fragrant bowls of pho.

Meanwhile, our Gold conference sessions offered moments of reflection and inspiration, empowering each Travel Counsellor to continue growing their business and achieving even more in the year ahead.

Culture, connection, and celebration

Monday brought time to relax and recharge. Some joined a Vietnamese cookery class, mastering traditional recipes alongside expert local chefs, while others indulged in spa treatments - well-deserved after a busy year of success. That evening, we gathered for a group dinner at Solasta, a stylish Hanoi restaurant where conversation and laughter flowed late into the night.

On Tuesday, we escaped the city to explore Ninh Binh, known as “Ha Long Bay on land.” From a riverboat tour beneath towering limestone peaks to visits to ancient temples, it was a day that captured Vietnam’s beauty and tranquillity perfectly.

Even when unexpected weather led to a few last-minute itinerary changes, our Golds, and our head office colleagues who joined our Travel Counsellors on the trip, proved exactly why they’re the best in the business. With teamwork, creativity, and positivity, they turned every challenge into an opportunity.

A night to remember

The trip concluded with a spectacular celebration dinner at the Hanoi National Museum of History. As we raised our glasses one final time, the atmosphere was electric - a celebration not only of personal achievement but of the incredible community that makes Travel Counsellors so special.
