Saigon best cafe

The 5-star ALMA Resort developed by Paradise Bay Resort Co. Ltd. has been officially voted as one of the top 10 best resort projects in Vietnam in 2020 by Vietnam Real Estate online magazine, or reatimes.vn.

The year 2020 ended on a positive note for Vietnam with the national GDP rising 2.91 percent, but the COVID-19 pandemic remained complicated, with the world economy being mired in difficulties.

The Vietnamese tourism industry is still making constant efforts to resist the destructive power of the pandemic.

2020 was a bleak year for all branches of tourism, but it also showed the adaptability and flexibility of the entire industry.

During this difficult time, the construction of ALMA Resort was completed and it was officially put into operation in December 2019.

While ensuring measures against the pandemic, ALMA Resort welcomed thousands of families in 2020, with a peak room occupancy rate of up to 80 percent.

For such a new resort to have such a desirable number of guests, ALMA Resort has operated under the model of vacation ownership in which most of the customers already booked their stay for a couple of years in advance.

Despite its new operation of less than two years, ALMA Resort and ALMA vacation ownership products have obtained different remarkable achievements and given customers a good impression.

On March 8, the first batch of AstraZeneca vaccines will be administered to groups prioritized by the Vietnam government, with athletes not included.

Vietnam Football JSC (VPF) has requested Viettel FC, Hanoi FC and Saigon FC players to be vaccinated before competing in Asian Football Confederation (AFC) tournaments abroad.

Viettel will compete in the group stage of AFC Champions League (ACL) with Thai club BG Pathum United, ACL title defender Ulsan Hyundai from South Korea and a play-off winner in Bangkok from April 21 to May 7.

In turn, Hanoi will play in the AFC Cup group stage with Indonesian side Bali United, Cambodian club Boeung Ket and a play-off winner. Saigon will compete in another group with Malaysia’s Kedah, Singaporean club Lion City Sailors and a play-off winner. The AFC Cup group stage will take place from June 22 to 28. While Hanoi’s group has still to nominate a venue, Saigon’s group will play in Singapore.

Previously, Saigon had expressed a desire to host their group games, but the requirement of 14 days in quarantine fell short of AFC stipulations requesting players to be isolated for no more than four days when competing in a foreign country.

Earlier, the government had approved a list of prioritized groups to be vaccinated against Covid-19, which included frontline workers, military, and police forces.

Others on the priority list are teachers, diplomatic personnel, customs and immigration officers, those working in essential services like transport, people aged 65 and above, and those with chronic diseases that make them more vulnerable to the disease.

Accordingly, the Vietnamese football players from Viettel, Hanoi and Saigon football clubs are eligible for the two sport events.

AFC Champions League will officially kick off next month. If the players are not injected the Covid-19 vaccine, they will be quarantined upon arrival in the host country and that will affect their performance before the match.

Besides, the football players must conduct 14-day quarantine requirement as returning to Vietnam if they are not injected the Covid-19 vaccine. That will also affect to plans for local competition tournaments.

As this reason, Vietnam Professional Football Joint Stock Company proposed Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) to seek the Government’s approval for prioritizing vaccinations for football players and training staffs.

Recently, AFC announced that Saigon Football Club will compete in AFC Cup 2021 in Singapore.
