Paul Levrier has been at the helm of the events industry in Vietnam for 23 years. He was the initial creator of events at the former Presidential Palace in Saigon, the first to turn the Fine Arts Museum and the Botanical Gardens into the event spaces they are today.

Under his direction he conceived exclusive use of the Temple of Literature in Hanoi and was the first to take over the Co Loa Citadel on its outskirts when incentive travel to Vietnam was in its infancy (circa 2001). The vespa tours that are now so popular in the main cities of Vietnam was first devised and created by Paul via connections at a small vespa club in Ho Chi Minh City way back in 2004! Most recently, he led the operation of an event at the previously ‘out of bounds’ Hanoi Citadel in the heart of the city for 300 guests.

Paul’s quest for product innovation and creating new events out of the old leads him with an ongoing thirst to deliver exceptional event experiences. All the while sourcing new venues and content, Paul is constantly on the lookout for locations that are authentic and representative of Vietnam’s rich cultural landscape.
