The Philosophy

"We've sat in the operator's chair before we sat in the consultant's chair. Every member of this team has personally opened and run international-flag properties — from Melia to Accor. We don't advise from theory. We advise from the floor."

— T.K.C.T Advisory Principles

Core Competencies

What We Do

Asset Quality & M&A

Comprehensive asset quality assessment — from service experience audit to operational KPIs — paired with M&A advisory for acquisition structuring and international flag positioning. We evaluate what the numbers don't show.

Operation SOP

Full-spectrum SOP development across hotel, resort, F&B, and event operations. Cost optimization frameworks, department performance benchmarking, and pre-opening operational deployment — built for real execution, not binders on a shelf.

Pre-Opening & Contract

End-to-end pre-opening strategy with Management Agreement and Franchise Agreement negotiation — protecting your interests at every clause. When deals go sideways, we also intervene: contract amendment, COVID extension management, and crisis resolution under live operations.

Crisis & Turnaround

Rapid operational intervention for properties under performance pressure — service recovery, staff realignment, brand standard restoration, and contract renegotiation. When the situation is urgent, we move fast.

Thanglong Invest Group · Vuon Vua Resort & Villas

Served as the owner's primary representative throughout the full Management Agreement lifecycle with Best Western International. Engagement began at the construction and interior fit-out phase — unusually early for an advisory mandate — guiding the investor to meet BW Signature Collection brand standards before a single room was operational.

Managed all communication between owner and operator across every department, conducted multiple brand audit cycles, and ensured compliance with international standards throughout the operational period. One of the few advisory engagements in Vietnam where involvement preceded the physical build.

Wyndham Vuon Vua Thanh Thuy

Thanglong Invest Group · Wyndham Vuon Vua

TKCT's most comprehensive single engagement — covering the entire Franchise Agreement lifecycle with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. Began with initial operator identification and approach, led clause-by-clause FA negotiation through to signing, then managed all post-signing execution under live conditions.

When COVID disrupted timelines, negotiated and secured an extension of the opening deadline directly with Wyndham. When conflict subsequently emerged between Operator and Owner during live operations, TKCT stepped in as the resolution layer — managing the crisis to a structured outcome. Engagement concluded prior to Grand Opening.

Trung Chinh Corp · Grand Mercure Mong Cai

End-to-end pre-opening operational setup for Tra Co Long Beach Luxury — the only 5-star beachfront resort in Mong Cai. Engagement began Q4 2020 with full SOP deployment across all departments. Managed trial runs and Tet 2021 events across the resort complex, then executed partial soft opening through mid-2021.

When Vietnam's second COVID wave hit (Q3–Q4 2021) and forced an operational hold, TKCT simultaneously advised Trung Chinh Corp on the Management Agreement negotiation and signing with Accor for the adjacent Grand Mercure Mong Cai project — delivering under two mandates in a disrupted environment.

Altara Suites Da Nang & Altara Residences Quy Nhon

Altara Hospitality Group

Engaged post-Tet 2022 as Vietnam's hospitality sector began recovering from its most severe COVID disruption. At the time of engagement, Altara Suites Da Nang was operating at approximately 10% occupancy. TKCT built the quality audit framework from the ground up — no existing system to inherit — and simultaneously stabilized operations across both properties.

By mid-2022, occupancy had recovered to the 70–75% range. The engagement covered 149 suites in Da Nang and 156 units in Quy Nhon, run concurrently across two cities under one mandate.
