In September 2023, Local Vietnam officially launched localvietnam.de, a dedicated website for German-speaking travelers. With this step, the company expanded its reach beyond its core Dutch and Belgian audience, bringing its deep local expertise in Vietnam travel to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Sharing Local Expertise with a New Audience
Local Vietnam was founded by Nhung Phung and Marnick Schoonderwoerd, a Dutch national who has lived in Vietnam for many years. Thanks to this background, the company naturally attracted travelers from the Netherlands and Belgium who value personal service, small-scale travel, and authentic experiences. The launch of the German website built on that foundation — connecting with travelers who share a similar curiosity for local culture, nature, and responsible tourism.
Focus on Tailor-Made Vietnam Tours
The German website focuses on what Local Vietnam does best: creating customized Vietnam tours. Every trip is designed according to travelers’ preferences, covering destinations across the country — from Ha Giang’s mountain scenery to the Mekong Delta’s floating markets. Instead of listing dozens of fixed tours, Local Vietnam.de emphasizes personal consultation and local insight to design unique itineraries for each guest.
In addition to tour planning, the website also features a comprehensive Vietnam travel guide in German, including practical advice on visas, transport, best times to visit, and in-depth destination information. The goal is to make planning a trip to Vietnam both easy and inspiring for German-speaking travelers.
A Step Toward a Broader European Presence
The launch of localvietnam.de marks an important step in Local Vietnam’s gradual European expansion. By sharing the same values and local knowledge that made the Dutch-language site successful, the team continues to grow its reputation as a trusted Vietnam specialist for independent and tailor-made travel.
