In the context of economic slowdown, like other companies in the industry, hotel and restaurant businesses of Dien Bien Trade Union Tourism Co., Ltd are inevitably hurt. Against this backdrop, the Trade Union of Dien Bien province has adopted strategies to overcome. The Trade Union restructured personnel, and recruited capable people to revive, maintain and develop the company as well as hotel business. And, Nguyen Quoc An, a young dynamic cadre and former head of Policy and Law Committee at the Dien Bien Trade Union is the smart choice of the Trade Union. In April 2010, Nguyen Quoc An was officially named the director in Dien Bien Trade Union Tourism Co., Ltd and the manager of Dien Bien Trade Union Hotel. Despite running a new business where he had little experience, his initial successes are to unite employees to revitalise and develop hotel businesses. And, in the two latest years, Dien Bien Trade Union Hotel has regained the trust of customers and room occupancy has risen 75 per cent. In 2011, the company made revenue of nearly VND600 billion, paid average monthly wage of 3.7 million per person, paid nearly VND500 million to the State Budget and ensured employment policies for employees. Many guest groups from the central and southern central provinces expressed their pleasure with their experience in Dien Bien Trade Union Hotel.

 

Towards the 60th anniversary of Dien Bien Phu victory in 2014, Mr Nguyen Quoc An said, “Apart from the need of investing for infrastructure upgrading and three-star upgrading, immediate key tasks are to encourage employees to strengthen the sense of responsibility and improve service quality. Besides, staffs will be fostered professional services to enhance the quality and professionalism.” With the support of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour and of enterprises affiliated to the Vietnam Trade Union Culture - Tourism Association as well as efforts of the company’s leadership and staff, the Dien Bien Trade Union Hotel is believed to be a home for visitors whenever they visit Dien Bien valley, site of the historic, world-shocking victory.
