HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Jan. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — With Tet just around the corner, the spirit of reunion and celebration is already building across Vietnam, and travel plans are no exception. Embracing the excitement of the Lunar New Year, digital travel platform Agoda today revealed that more Vietnamese travelers are looking to pack their bags over the national holiday this year compared to the Tet holiday period last year – with a clear preference for exploring destinations within the country.

Based on searches made by travelers in Vietnam between October and November 2025 for check-ins during 14–22 February 2026, Agoda observed that overall Tet travel interest for both domestic and international travel increased compared to the Tet travel period last year. Most of this growth is driven by domestic travel, which rose by 22%, while interest in outbound trips also increased, though more modestly, by 7%.

This trend reflects findings from Agoda’s 2026 Travel Outlook Report, which shows that 50% of Vietnamese respondents plan to travel domestically in 2026. With nine consecutive days off during Tet – and a cultural tendency to add some annual leave to the period and extend the break – the holiday offers the ideal opportunity for Vietnamese families to reconnect, relax, and explore destinations across the country without the complexities of international travel.

According to Agoda, Da Lat remains the top domestic destination for Tet 2026, showing a 44% increase in searches thanks to its cool climate and festive atmosphere. Phu Quoc has overtaken Nha Trang to secure second place with a 41% increase, appealing to travelers seeking sun, beaches, and family-friendly resorts. Nha Trang and Da Nang remain strong contenders ranking third and fourth, respectively, known for their coastal charm and diverse activities. Vung Tau rounds out the top five with a 31% increase, remaining a convenient short getaway for Ho Chi Minh City residents.

For those traveling abroad, Bangkok continues to be the most favored international destination for Vietnamese travelers during Tet. Singapore rises to second place this year with a 25% increase in travel interest, replacing Tokyo, which now sits in third. Meanwhile, Hong Kong makes a notable appearance in fourth place, recording a 46% increase in Tet travel interest. Bali completes the top five, maintaining its reputation as a relaxing and culturally rich holiday spot.

Vu Ngoc Lam, Country Director at Agoda Vietnam, said:
“Tet is one of the most meaningful times of the year for Vietnamese travelers. With an especially long break this year, it becomes the perfect moment for families and friends to begin new journeys – whether exploring the beauty of Vietnam or venturing abroad. Agoda is delighted to support this spirit of travel by offering a seamless platform and a wide range of accommodation, flight, and activity options, helping travelers enjoy a smooth and memorable Tet holiday.”

With over 6 million properties, 130,000 flight routes, and 300,000 activities, all bookable in one easy itinerary, Agoda empowers Vietnamese travelers to plan their ideal Tet getaway, whether staying close to home or exploring destinations further afield.

HONG KONG, Jan. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Annum Capital, a leading financial services group in Hong Kong, today announced a strategic partnership with Turoid, a next-generation technology provider, to bring AI to multi-family offices and asset managers in Asia.

Under this partnership, Turoid is working with Annum Capital to re-imagine the operating architecture across EAM, fund management, private equity, private credit, hedge funds, index investing, structured products, and strategy consulting, blending AI into governance, advisory, revenue capture, operations, market analytics and risk management.

In Phase 1 of the partnership, Turoid has delivered a suite of functionalities (“Wealth Pilot“) for Annum Capital:

• AI-empowered client onboarding and trade cycle, with enhanced due diligence, analytics, and risk management
• AI-assisted asset allocation and portfolio diagnostics, embedding market conditions, compliance requirements, and client-specific constraints dynamically
• AI-driven private market due diligence, synthesizing information from a wide range of sources, strengthening transparency and insights to support vetting, corroboration, and decision-making
• Performance management across front-middle-back offices with anticipatory AI to increase efficiencies in capacity management, resource deployment, and cost controls.

In Phase 2, Turoid will work with Annum Capital to:

• Build a price discovery platform for structured products, to internalize the relationships with global issuers and enhance economics
• Build a custom-indexing engine that connects with leading issuers of AMCs as a cost-light option to scale up Annum’s in-house investment strategies
• Automate the setup and administration of Hong Kong Limited Partnership Fund, to help accelerate the adoption of Hong Kong’s local private fund format by family offices and investment managers in Asia
• Establish a marketplace for secondary transactions among Asia institutional investors and family offices, replacing the opacity and cost of a highly brokered, conversation-based model with an AI-driven discovery, matching, and execution approach.

“Annum Capital is very excited to see the results of Phase 1 implementation, which upgraded our operating platform and injected AI into the deliberations and decisions of our investment teams and relationship managers. Our family office clients and fund investors highly appreciate how AI inspires, informs, assists and validates our ideas, portfolios, reporting and risk judgements.” said Aaron Sung, Head of Asset Management, Annum Capital.

“Turoid is a very special technology provider, not defined by budgets, timeline, testing and signoffs. Turoid harnesses AI to learn about clients’ processes and build solutions that almost melt into our business right away, enlightening and improving processes without a fuss. It’s been a real pleasure working with the incredible team of Turoid.” added Alvis Sze, CTO, Annum Capital.

“AI is already a transformative agent for global financial services – and even more so for Hong Kong,” said Nick Wong, CEO of Turoid. “Hong Kong is one of the world’s leading wealth management centers, serving capital and clients across Asia and beyond. We believe it should also produce homegrown fintech leaders that serve international players at global standards. Turoid is building that platform: helping Annum Capital and other forward-thinking firms focus on clients and value creation, while giving independent players the process rigor and technology versatility typically found at much larger institutions. We’re privileged to partner with Annum Capital on this journey.”

Annum Capital and Turoid plan to roll out “Wealth Pilot” and related services to more Asia family offices and institutional investors in 2026 and 2027, connecting innovations of the AI world with Asia’s smartest money.
