Nguyen Dinh An (1972) is the father of six children with the distinction of having both twin sons and daughters. He lives with his family in the ancient citadel city of Hue. Andy, as he is also known, was born in the village of Tiên Điền in Hà Tĩnh province on the north central coast. The village is nestled deep in the literary heart of Vietnam, the home of the celebrated 18th century poet Nguyễn Du, author of the epic poem, The Tale of Kiều. Andy began his career in the tourism industry in the mid-nineties. In 1998, he guided Martin and Annie Coudeville from Oostende, Belgium on their first visit to Vietnam. It was the beginning of an ongoing relationship that changed his life, giving him direction and opportunities he otherwise might never have had.
Andy's integrity, competence and natural qualities of leadership soon brought him into the ranks of management in some of the industry's leading companies. In 2006, tempered by a decade of experience, Andy, together with his friends Chi and Quyet, founded Asiana Travel Mate, establishing the fledgling company's first office in Ho Chi Minh City that year. Bonded by a common vision of a company that would deliver on it's promises and operate in a responsible manner, the trio formulated the principle of "Responsible Travel and Sharing", with customized inbound travel and personalized services as the cornerstone of its operations. Asiana Travel Mate's clientele base soon began to grow beyond expectations.
Andy is an intrepid photographer and is personally committed to the ideals of social responsibility, expressed through community outreach initiatives, now embedded as part of the company's operations. He is gifted with a knack for strategic marketing initiatives and his visionary, egalitarian style of management has engendered a well motivated and competent work force that has vitalized the company's growth and direction.
"Tourism changed my life & I believe It in making other possible."

Nguyen Ngoc Quyet (1977) was born in the northern countryside of Hà Tây, one of Vietnam's cultural repositories to the west of Hanoi in the Red River Delta. The region's famous sites includes Vietnam's venerated cave temple, the Perfume Pagoda. Quyet is a graduate of the Columbia Southern University, Saigon, with an MBA in Hospitality and Tourism Management. He now lives with his wife and daughter in the southern, commercial hub of Ho Chi Minh City. Quyet 's deep passion for his homeland and his penchant for travel, led him to join Andy and Chi to establish Asiana Travel Mate. Analytically inclined, he keeps an objective pulse on the company's performance, monitoring and guiding the company's development through the use of information technology and computerized database systems.
Quyet's consistent and objective approach is balanced by his warm, friendly personality and genuine concern for the welfare of the company's employees and its commitment to the indirect stakeholders of the tourism industry; the local communities.
