The visit to Vietnam by Sun Pharma’s Indian billionaire, who brought 4,500 employees along, generated significant media attention due to the scale and professionalism in organizing the tour. Vietnam’s capability in providing world-class hotel services, event equipment, and event management was instrumental in the success of this visit.
The 4,500 employees of Sun Pharmaceuticals embarked on a memorable journey through three of Vietnam’s renowned destinations: Hanoi, Ninh Binh, and Quang Ninh. From August 29 to September 4, the group participates in a series of 16 Gala Awards and DJ Nights events at three prestigious hotels in Hanoi: JW Marriott, Intercontinental Landmark 72, and Melia Hanoi.
