Ho Tram – A Premier Coastal Destination for MICE in Vietnam

Situated along the unspoiled coastline of Ba Ria – Vung Tau Province, Ho Tram has emerged as a captivating destination for both leisure travelers and business guests. Boasting vast white-sand beaches, lush preserved forests, and world-class resorts, it is an ideal choice for hosting MICE tourism (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) in Vietnam.

In recent years, Ho Tram has increasingly become the destination of choice for both domestic and international businesses to host corporate events, thanks to its proximity to Ho Chi Minh City – just over a two-hour drive away. This makes Ho Tram a convenient yet tranquil retreat, offering the perfect blend of business and relaxation.

A Perfect Blend of Sea & Forest

Ho Tram is celebrated for its untouched natural beauty, featuring long stretches of golden sand, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and lush tropical forests. With an annual rainfall of just around 1,300mm, Ho Tram enjoys a dry climate, free from stormy seasons and extreme weather conditions. The average temperature hovers around 27°C, with warm sunshine gracing the region for approximately 300 days a year, making it an ideal destination for outdoor events and incentive travel programs.

Not only known for its pristine beaches, the Binh Chau – Phuoc Buu Nature Reserve also brings a spirit of adventure and discovery to Ho Tram. Spanning over 11,000 hectares, this primeval forest features a diverse ecosystem of freshwater lakes, wetlands, sandy clearings, and woodlands. Towering cajuput trees and lush vegetation create a refreshing, clean atmosphere and provide shelter for many rare and endangered species. The reserve is home to a semi-deciduous tropical forest ecosystem, with over 750 plant species from 123 families – 732 of which have been identified – many of which are listed in the Red Data Book and hold significant ecological value.

Enhancing the appeal of the area, the mineral-rich hot spring here erupts from more than 70 natural geyser points, with the highest temperature reaching around 82°C and a water flow rate of 669m³/day. The bubbling hot water and steam create a mystical atmosphere with thin mists under the cajuput canopy. The mineral pools maintain a temperature of 37°C, providing an ideal relaxation spot for those wishing to enjoy tranquility after a day of exploring the pristine forest.

For companies looking to incorporate eco-tourism and team-building activities into their MICE programs, Ho Tram offers a wealth of exciting options – from guided nature walks and outdoor challenges to simply unwinding on the tranquil beach or indulging in rejuvenating mineral baths and therapeutic mud treatments
