Nam Bo Tours was established in 2008 by CEO Tran Thanh Tam, a long-time employee in the tourism industry. Starting out as a tour guide, he and his team searched for beautiful tour routes in the heart of Ben Tre city and neighboring areas.
Determining his passion and economic potential for tourism, he escaped his comfort zone as a tour guide to become a professional tour operator and organizer. The initial stage was quite difficult and arduous in building infrastructure as well as thinking of tourist destinations. But with his ingenuity and positive energy, he conveyed the message about the spiritual and material values that they would receive when tourism developed. Thus, a closed ecosystem, a green Nhon Thanh area was formed including tour routes on boats, tour routes to small canals, brick kilns, candy workshops, cocoa, folk music and especially mat weaving, a traditional and most prominent craft at this time.
In parallel with the development of points in the ecosystem, Nam Bo Tours is actively preparing facilities for cruises and rowing boats for transportation. Everything must be safe but still aesthetic.
Another difficult task is finding and approaching partners and customers, but with nature and people being the main factors emphasized in the tour route, especially traditional craft villages with peaceful countryside, close to coconut trees. We have constantly innovated to have the best services for tourists, turning trips into special experiences that not only bring comfort but also nourish the soul.
In 2019, when tourism was developing strongly, the Covid-19 epidemic appeared, causing everything to return to zero. Spirit and material became rotten. Ships were severely damaged, destinations were lost, scattered, staff was gradually thinned and it seemed impossible to recover.
Also our CEO, Mr. Tam has gradually restored everything. He started over a little bit each day from boats, destinations, restaurants. And now, everything has returned and developed more than before.
With a journey of nearly 20 years of development, we are now confident in bringing to our customers diverse, rich, unique tourism products, the best services on Ben Tre river tours as well as designing special tours according to other requests from partners.
