About the German Guide Academy

The German Guide Academy is a long-term capability platform for German-speaking inbound travel, operated by Vivu Journeys — Vietnam’s leading DMC.

Designed as a structured talent pipeline rather than a short-term course, the Academy identifies high-potential German speakers and develops them through staged training, supervised field integration, and defined certification gates.

The objective is clear: to build a controlled pool of service-ready, deployment-qualified guides prepared for premium inbound programs across Vietnam.
