During this time, we
are preparing to launch new products and services to meet anticipated demand when covid-19 is under control.

Vietnam. Currently I am the director of operations and set-up for Sun World Holding company. Which means I am in charge of improving the existing park operations and opening all new attractions and parks of the group. Vietnam is an incredible growing market with a young
and vibrant market for and interest in entertainment. Local Vietnamese look for beautiful and exciting destinations and have growing expectations of the hospitality industry. We have a rapidly expanding interest from other countries due to Vietnam’s natural beauty and our parks are playing a key role to provide unique experiences for many. The current time (end March) is a difficult time for anyone
and parks across the globe due to Covid-19. Since March 18th some of Sun World parks have temporarily closed to ensure the safety of community, our guests and our staff. We have taken multiple measures, which involved close communication with our staff, following government guidance. We also implemented additional cleaning activities, providing temperature checks and hand sanitiser throughout our open properties. Multiple parks have implemented flexible working hours depending on the department, working from home, ensuring constant communication, and motivating the staff. We have written and distributed clear SOP’s on safety and measures to reduce the potential spread of the virus that guests and staff can take, and guidelines on closures and re- opening of the parks. At the moment the situation is quite fluid, and we are
updating work and operating schedules for the parks which are open and closed parks multiple times per week based on new information.

will be difficult for some companies in the short term, but well run companies with sufficient cash flow, and attractive parks, which offer value for money, will have a positive outlook in the future. Sun World currently works on multiple expansions and new projects. Some examples include new attractions for Ba Na Hills Park and a new Cable Car in Cat Ba, all opening in 2020. With almost 10 years working in theme parks in Asia and
the world, I can honestly say that I could not have wished for a better industry. People who support each other in difficult situations, parks where we create happiness, and a consistent drive for safer and better experiences for our guests, will lead the way to a great future.
