In 2019, Vietnam launched its first travel-oriented social media platform, Hahalolo. In addition to having features similar to other social media platforms, users enjoyed the convenience of online travel services and e-commerce. Hahalolo aimed to become an intermediary among tourists, travel service providers, tour operators, retailers, and more. [26] During a meeting on June 10, 2019, Nguyen Van Ha, the CEO of Hahalolo Travel Social Media Joint Stock Co., confidently declared that Hahalolo would be a travel social media platform for Vietnamese people with over two billion users within the next five years, surpassing even Facebook. [27] Despite facing skepticism from the public regarding the platform's funding being similar to a Ponzi scheme and criticisms that it was misappropriating users' money shortly after its launch, Hahalolo became a sponsor of the 31st SEA Games, which were held in Vietnam. [28] [29] In August 2022, Hahalolo announced its conquest of the U.S. and Indian markets, becoming the first Vietnamese social media platform to reach this goal. [30] At this point, the platform boasted nearly 10 million registered users and connected services and utilities to 192 countries and territories. It became a member of the International Air Transport Association and the United States Tour Operators Association, drawing international media attention. [31]
Mr. James Dang, CEO of Hahalolo USA, shared that the app had attracted nearly 10 million users within two years.
