Carnival Tours Co.

What Carnival Tours Co. does

Carnival Tours Co., legally registered as Công ty TNHH MTV Dịch vụ Lễ Hội Carnival Group, is a privately held Vietnamese tour operator headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City, founded in 1998. The company specializes in Catholic pilgrimage tours and offers three core product categories: Tour Hành Hương (Pilgrimage Tours) covering holy sites in Israel, Europe, and the Americas; Tour Nước Ngoài (International Tours) spanning Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Africa; and Tour Trong Nước (Domestic Tours) covering Vietnamese destinations such as Ha Long, Sapa, Ninh Binh, Da Nang, and Phu Quoc. It also extends into MICE travel services.

The business operates on a one-time tour package sales model, with pricing ranging from approximately 990,000 VND for budget domestic tours to over 125 million VND for premium transcontinental pilgrimages such as the Canada pilgrimage. Packages are sold direct-to-consumer through the company's WordPress website (carnivalvn.com) and a phone hotline (028 3931 9393), supplemented by Facebook organic social presence and content marketing via educational articles on pilgrimage destinations. There are no disclosed intermediary reseller channels, no proprietary technology platform, and no AI/ML capabilities — the company is structured as a traditional tour operator with 11-50 employees.

The customer base consists primarily of Vietnamese individual travelers, with two principal segments: Vietnamese Catholic faithful seeking spiritual pilgrimages to global Catholic shrines, and general Vietnamese travelers seeking international or domestic leisure packages. Operating geographies span 15+ countries served as destinations, though the source market is exclusively Vietnam (single-country domestic distribution). No institutional investors, venture capital backers, or parent company ownership have been disclosed, and no funding rounds, awards, patents, or partnerships were identified in the source data.
