CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1. Problem
Vietnam is considered one of the countries with great potential for the development
of Sports and Adventure Tourism. Owning a terrain with three quarters of hills and
mountains along with many high mountain peaks having steep slopes, unique cave
system, many vast primeval forests, a dense mountain river network and many stunning
beaches, Sports and Adventure Tourism in our country can develop diversely with many
different types such as mountain climbing, waterfall rafting, rafting, boat racing, etc.
One of them, Trekking, is currently a well-liked travel fad.
Briefly about this type of tourism, trekking is a form of adventure tourism
combined with picnic activities, hiking about 15 kilometers per day equipped with
equipment on his/her back. The journey can take days to reach mountainous areas with
rugged and jagged terrain. Different from other types of normal tourism, the only means
of transportation for participants in this type of tourism are their feet.
The COVID-19 epidemic has left many sequelae in terms of health, spirit,
psychology, etc. Quarantine periods made people, especially the young generation, have
“itchy feet”. Therefore, in the post-COVID-19 era, they want to participate in more
adventurous and close-to-nature tourism types more than sightseeing and shopping
tours. Additionally, even though many people infected with COVID-19 have recovered,
they still have health sequelae and mental damage, so they need a longer time to recover.
By immersing in nature, conquering each mountain, hilltop and rugged road, etc will
help visitors balance their psychology, and create opportunities to connect, accompany
and share with people with similar interests.
Together with the increasing trend of this type of tourism, many travel agencies
associated with specialized trekking tour programs were born and has become well
known to many tourists such as Du Lich Ong Vang, Bitour, Du lich Thu Thach Viet,
Phuot Vi Vu, Min Tour, etc.
To sum up, with available resources and increasing demand, trekking tourism
promises to grow strongly in Vietnam in the future.

1.2. Reason for choosing the topic
With the advantages of its geographical location and abundant tourism resources,
An Giang is affirmed as the province with the greatest potential for advantages in
tourism to become a leading tourist destination among the Mekong Delta provinces,

Promotion Center of An Giang province boldly deployed a model of Trekking tourism
at Cam Mountain tourist area with nearly 500 tourists calculated from the end of April
2022 to the beginning of November in the same year.
Trekking at Cam Mountain not only opens up a new direction for An Giang tourism
but also contributes new colors to the tourism picture of the Mekong Delta. Besides the
image of rivers, islands, gardens, etc. as everyone knows, tourism in the West now also
has a new and unique tourist activity, called trekking. Since then, Angiangtrek was born

CHAPTER II: TARGET MARKET RESEARCH AND ASSESSMENT
2.1. Market understanding
Page | 23
the Covid 19 pandemic, the entertainment needs after months of work pressure make
them give more priority to domestic travel. According to Visa Research Voice of
Consumers 1, the pandemic has had a significant impact on people's travel intentions,
with 76% of Vietnamese planning domestic leisure travel, far outnumbering 38%
planning international trips. Above all, according to a Cimigo website survey, 76% of
Vietnamese people have taken at least one trip in the last 12 months (2020). Based on
the data presented above, it is clear that promoting domestic tourism during this time
period will help to revitalize the Vietnam tourism industry.
Outdoor tourism or adventure tourism is also growing as a result of new and unique
experiences. Above all, Vietnam has numerous advantages that can be leveraged to
promote outdoor tourism. Three quarters of the territory is hilly, with many beautiful
mountains and caves, causing visitors to be excited and curious. Recognizing the tourism
potentials of Vietnam, particularly An Giang, the homeland of "Son Ky Thuy Tu,"
Angiangtrek has aggressively promoted trekking tours to conquer That Son land.
Angiangtrek was founded with the goal of providing customers with new trekking
experiences, high-quality services, and low-cost trekking tours in An Giang province, in
particular, and the Southwestern provinces in general.
Angiangtrek is a company that specializes in offering trekking tours in tỉnh An
Giang. Angiangtrek's target audience will be "Early millennials," or those entering the
early stages of Generation Y, due to the specificity of the brand's trekking and tourist
destination. We will continue to analyze in the following sections to learn more about
target customers.
Page | 24
2.2. Targeted customer
2.2.1. Who - Who are they?
2.2.1.1. Demographic
- Age: 25-30 (early generation Y)
- Income: A, B+ (10 - 15 million VND)

them balance their lives.
+ They fly more. They enjoy exploring and discovering new things with their
teammates. In 2019, 82% of millennials traveled.
Page | 25
2.2.1.2. Customer behavior
“Early millennials” is the first generation to be exposed to technology, helping
them to form the skills of searching for information before making a choice, especially
from reputable information sites, KOLs, etc. in shopping behavior. Having the habit of
entertaining through social networks, the information is always updated by them
constantly.
Busy pace of life, always caught up in work life and surrounding relationships, with
little time for true relaxation. They are not entirely free of the cycle of earning a living
and earning a living; they always seek a balance between life and work. As a result, they
are willing to spend in order to truly feel reinvented and enjoy themselves.
Tourist behavior: Customers aged 25 to 30 spend the most time traveling than other
age groups, averaging 10 days per year. They are also more acquainted with tour and
hotel booking websites. Everything should be planned ahead of time and clearly,
reputable tour, professional tour guide. Trips with coworkers and romantic outings were
most popular among this age group of travelers. Above all, financial conditions are
gradually improving, and they are willing to spend money on travel to relieve stress.
2.2.1.3. Customer psychology
“Early millennials” is the age of transition, a blend of two generations Y and Z,
carrying with them the worries and anxieties of both generations.
They feel regret and nostalgia for the young years that have just passed. The
liberality, freedom, and spirit of youth are always boiling in them. However, their
attachment to the fact that they have gradually entered the lives of adults. They are forced
to prepare to create a premise for a later life, a shell of an adult. They feel that they are
no longer "young" as before to embark on too challenging journeys of the past.
From that, it can be seen that "Early millennials" need experiences that help them
relive their youth but also keep them an image of a liberal adult, not a spontaneously
free person.
Page | 26
2.2.1.4. Insight
The brand has drawn the Insight of its target customers based on the truth, tension,
and motivation model.
- Truth: I wish for myself to be able to relive moments like youth that I didn't fully
enjoy.
- Tension: But in my heart, I am bound by myself at the age where I need new
experiences to be ready to enter the adult path. I am also not that young to plunge into
too challenging experiences without guarantees.
- Motivation: I aspire to be able to have great experiences that allow me to enjoy
my youthful enthusiasm but still help me take the first step firmly towards adulthood.
=> Insight: Seeing Generation Z become more active today, I look forward to being
young again. In the midst of society and the hustle and bustle of making money, I did
not realize I was "old". I want to find a peaceful place with my roots, longing for the
feeling of conquering nature and trying new things, to find my "youth" again. And after
all, the reverse footage from rediscovering youthful enthusiasm will be the preparation
and preparation for the gap ahead of a real adult - a person who matures from his own
experiences. . However, I feel scared by the judgments of others about me. Because at
this age I am more aware of my responsibilities. So I also needed something that could
help me re-enjoy the joys of youth without losing the required maturity of this age.

2.2.2. What - What do they want to find in Angiangtrek?
According to Cimigo's "Vietnam habitat travel 2020" survey, there are six main
reasons to travel: relax and get rid of stress; time for family and friends; discover new
things; have fun and excitement; take beautiful pictures; and reward myself.
- Relax and get rid of stress (76%). The first and most effective way to reduce stress
is to change the atmosphere. Away from the bustling urban area and immersed in the
mountains and forests of An Giang province, a surrounding natural space will be the
most effective way for visitors to enjoy and relax.
- Time for family and friends (61%). Trekking is a type of tourism that necessitates
a lot of teamwork. Visitors will be more motivated to complete the trekking journey and
connect more people's relationships if they travel through the forest with companions
and friends.
- Discover new things (57%). An Giang province is home to more than 29 ethnic
groups; in addition to exploring nature, visitors can learn about the culture and
characteristics of each ethnic group.
- Have fun and excitement (55%). Immersing in nature, culture and accompanying
people, will be the most joyful and memorable experiences.
- Take beautiful pictures (48%). "Western Roof", "Western Da Lat" are interesting
similes when referring to the beauty and nature of An Giang province, where visitors
will be satisfied with the majestic and novel scenery.
Page | 28
- Reward myself (46%). Breaking away from the daily work cycle, customers will
be willing to pay for a truly worthy trip and enjoy the results after many working days.
2.2.3. When - When will customers book a tour?
Regardless of the customer group, the travel needs are similar, often culminating
in the holidays and summer holidays of the year. At these times, people have a need to
relax and have fun. Choosing to travel will be a reasonable choice to be able to gather
friends, enjoy alone and spend more time with family.
According to the survey, the month with the most trips is June, and tourist trips are
spread from the beginning of the year to the autumn, with less to the end of the year.
Although the conversion rate of customers is not high at the end of the year, marketing
communication at this stage is critical in creating a foundation for the new year to
remember the brand and conduct the conversion.
As a result, Angiangtrek will launch a campaign from November to early February
next year, during the transition from the old to the new year. This is the time to reach
out to customers, create campaigns, and leave a lasting impression.

2.3. Competitor analysis
About companies specializing in providing travel, now appear in large numbers to
help customers have more choices in the decision-making process. However, up to now,
there is no direct competitor with Angiangtrek in providing trekking tours in the West.
Therefore, considering many factors of tourist destination in terms of form of tourism,
the brand searched for competitors on the following criteria:
The competitor specializes in providing trekking tours across the country but has
not yet promoted in the West.
The competitor specializes in providing backpacking tours in a famous place where
people in Ho Chi Minh City choose to travel the most.
Competitors specialize in providing tours to the Southwest with other forms of
tourism that are not trekking: ecotourism, resort tourism, ...
Based on these factors, the group has found 4 indirect competitors with the brand:
Itrek, Bitour, Mekong Exploration and Dala Travel.

amount of plastic waste. Therefore, during all of its trips,
Bitour does not use industrial food or drinking water, but uses
clean, fresh and local food.
Bitour adheres to 3 important principles when handling
garbage during trips to the forest. The first is to minimize or
completely eliminate plastic waste in the journey. The second
is that visitors commit not to throw away and must bring their
own personal garbage out of the forest. And the third is that
plastic waste is not burned but must be taken out of the forest
along with the amount of garbage picked up on the road.

Giang because this is the place of the brand’s first step. In order to attract more
customers, the brand will also create tours to suit different periods of the year, such as
the Tet holiday, which will promote and add trekking tours with visits to temples in An
Giang. Not only in An Giang, when there is enough capital to develop, Angiangtrek will
try to develop more trekking tours through other provinces of the Southwest to increase
the diversification of tours.
Loyal customers of Angiangtrek still focus on the age group of 25-30 years old,
but the location will be expanded to the whole Southern area, not focusing on Ho Chi
Minh City.

usually falls on 2-3/week. Angiangtrek strives to develop the brand as well as promote
human resources to help plan effective communication, retain customers, and post

main colors of red and yellow bringing the atmosphere towards the Tet campaign
The section overviews the message that Angiangtrek wants to convey during Tet.

Footer collects information and leaves business contact information
Some other components of the campaign landing page are being developed by the
team and will be updated later
4.1.5. Email marketing
The first marketing email, titled "OFFICIALLY LAUNCHING THE
CAMPAIGN: "NEW TRIP - NEW YEAR - NEW ME," was piloted on the first 70 Gen
Z customers.
With the goal of increasing brand awareness as well as the campaign to customers,
Angiangtrek has let the brand's logo appear first in the email and then the title is neatly
designed in a publication to create attraction as well as the alignment of the brand to
customers. In order to create traffic to the Fanpage, the brand has placed a “Reference
Now” button behind the appearance of the email subject.
Next, the campaign introduction includes a poster and a brief paragraph introducing
the campaign, to help customers get the main information of this campaign. The brand
Page | 139
continues to place a "Details" button of the campaign so that customers who are
interested in the campaign as well as the brand have a more detailed view.
Finally, the end of the email includes detailed information about the brand to help
customers who have questions will contact and receive Angiangtrek's support.
The second email marketing has the same layout as the first email marketing with
title "OPENING THE YEAR WITH PROMOTION FROM ANGIANGTREK" was
piloted on the old customers.
Page | 140
Figure 73: The head of the second email marketing
In this email, the content will mainly introduce the early year tours that
Angiangtrek offers as well as the promotion 20% at the beginning of the year.
Page | 141
Figure 74: The body of the second email marketing
Page | 142
With the number of people reaching up to 8,618 people as of December 22, 2022,
Angiangtrek is currently quite successful in attracting and hitting customer psychology
and surpassing the KPI set for phase Engage. Specifically, reach is 181% more effective
than phase trigger and 107% more effective than phase engage.
The number of visits in the Fanpage has increased significantly after only two
months of running the campaign and has nearly reached the initial KPI.
In contrast, Fanpage's followers are not particularly significant because the number
is limited to 185 and the majority of followers are primarily from Generation Z. It is
expected that by the end of the engagement phase, the fanpage followers will have
achieved only 1/2 of the set KPIs. Although the reach of the Fanpage is good, the level
of influence of the post on viewers is not particularly high. For the best effect, brands
should find ways to optimize the content they want to convey to viewers.
Page | 143
Figure 78: Potential audience
With over 8.6K number of people reaching the post, the majority of which come
from short videos posted on the Fanpage, it can be seen that the brand has been quite
Page | 144
successful in capitalizing on the upward trend of video footage. In particular, the reach
has achieved 119% efficiency when compared to the initial KPI set in phase
engagement. As a result, Angiangtrek should continue to promote short videos in order
to increase post reach as well as Fanpage reach.
In the image above, it can be seen that taking advantage of the reel clip has helped
the fanpage achieve quite large post interactions, specifically 1.3K on 22 posts on
Fanpage.

Regarding the effectiveness of the articles, the most effective post is the reel that
combines the mysterious scenery of the Nui Cam and the soundtrack of the movie
"Goblin". The reason for this may be that this is a very good combination of both the
scene and the music, which partly enhances the beauty of the Forbidden Mountain and
the viewer's fluctuations in front of this magical scene.
4.2.1.2. Future orientation
From the figures obtained by Meta Business Suite, we can see the first successes
of Angiangtrek's Facebook communication channel. The brand will try to take advantage
of what drives the growth of the media including keeping and developing the current
concept, regularly uploading reel clips,...
However, if the follower does not meet the initial KPI, the brand should find ways
to optimize the content that the brand wants to convey to the audience for the best effect
Page | 146
to attract more followers on the special fanpage especially from potential customers of
the brand.
4.2.2. Instagram Channel
4.2.2.1. Achieved result
After 2 months of developing the channel and running the campaign, here are some
results that the Instagram channel obtained based on the Meta Business Suite analytics
tool:
Instagram reached 502, achieved the set goal even though the campaign is not over
yet. This shows that Angiangtrek is gradually attracting new customers.
The number of visits to Angiangtrek's personal page is 323. The highest peak is in
the most recent post. It was a post about tours in early 2023, showing the great interest
of customers in this product and service. This is a very successful step in Angiangtrek's
campaign.

Figure 87: Potential audience on Instagram
The most followers of Angiangtrek are between 18-24 years old. Instagram really
hasn't reached Gen Y much yet, but the majority of users in Ho Chi Minh City are already
close to the target audience that the brand has set out.
Although the number of subscribers to the channel is not really impressive, the
promotion of reels on the channel has helped the channel bring in a large number of
reach. With nearly 500 people reaching articles, it can be seen that the average number
Page | 148
of people reaching articles per media file or per content format is the highest with videos
and movies.
Although it is in phase 2, Angiangtrek's Instagram followers are still low, and the
interaction is not high. This may be because the content is not attractive, in terms of
images, it is still not eye-catching. Moreover, this is the first time Angiangtrek is active
on Instagram, so it has not been exploited and made the most of the tools to attract others.
However, there is still a bright spot that the articles have reached nearly 400 people who
do not follow Angiangtrek on Instagram. When combining Reel on Instagram with

Facebook, the number was extremely impressive: more than 1.6 thousand views in just
a few days.

Figure 92: Seeding post on Voz
Under the post, there were people who really wanted to travel to the west, which
led to changing the customer's mind.
For the seeding posts on Webtretho: Similarly to seeding posts on Voz, although
these posts have attracted considerable attention, there are still few interactions.
For posts on Facebook groups: the interactions are quite few, not meeting the set
targets even though they have posted in groups with more than 100k members. However,
this issue is also caused by objective factors such as groups having many rules that make
seeding of link pages unacceptable and too obvious suggestions resulting in backlash.
For seeding comments: These seeding comments need to be humorous and keep
up with trends, and our team is still trying to take the opportunity to mention the page
when appropriate.

Figure 96: Measurement result of main landing page
- With the kpi set out in the early stage, there will be an average of 30 pageviews
per day, currently the views in 5 weeks are still low (average 10 visits per day). In the
first phase of the campaign, the visitors to the landing page are higher than in the later
stages
- The number of users is too limited
- The dwell time at the site is also seen when the page is not attractive enough for
more than 1 minute.

4.2.4.2. Future orientation
- Continue to invest and develop images on the web
- Optimize user experience and invest more in content to attract more visitors
- The best link transmission on other media channels to help push the CTA to the
Landing page.
4.2.5. Email marketing
4.2.5.1. Achieved result
The first Email Marketing
Page | 154
Although it has only tested over 70 customers and is not part of Angiangtrek's
potential customers, the results are quite positive. Specifically:
• 100% sending rate
• Open rate is 22.85% (17 out of 70 hits)
• Click rate is 8.5% (6 out of 70 clicks)
The email received 6 clicks, which is a pretty viable number for a brand's first
marketing email.
Email marketing has assisted Angiangtrek in receiving new visits to the Fanpage
through the reasonable allocation of conversion buttons via the Fanpage channel.
The second Email Marketing
Page | 155
Figure 101: Measurement result of the second email marketing
In the second email sent, although it has only been piloted on 70 old customers
within 2 days, the results have been quite positive. Specifically:
• Send rate reaches 100%
• Open rate is 27.14% (19 out of 70 hits)
• Click rate is 14.3% (10 out of 70 clicks)
This is an introductory email about promotions for trekking tours at the beginning
of the year, which can be understood because the interest of customers for tourism at the
beginning of the year is relatively high, so the effectiveness of this email is quite good.
Page | 156
4.2.5.2. Future orientation
Although the initial number is quite positive, it is also a familiar customer file with
the brand, not a new customer file for more accurate numbers. Angiangtrek should look
for more suitable data to reach this communication channel optimally.
Optimize email to increase click rate, email open rate. Although full of information,
the email interface is still quite simple, Angiangtrek should invest more in Email layout
so that customers can better access the content.
