As the official drinking water sponsor of the Vietnam Halal Tourism Conference 2026, Vikoda accompanied 350 domestic and international delegates, contributing to a professional, thoughtful and Halal-compliant event experience. The brand’s presence also demonstrated the capability of Vietnamese products to meet international standards and participate more deeply in the global tourism ecosystem.
With more than two billion Muslims worldwide, Halal tourism is opening up a high-potential market and creating significant development opportunities for countries with strengths in destinations, culture and tourism services. With its diverse natural landscapes, rich cuisine and distinctive cultural heritage, Vietnam is well positioned to attract this growing market and strengthen its presence on the international tourism map.
Against this backdrop, the Vietnam Halal Tourism Conference 2026 served as an important forum for government authorities, experts, businesses and partners to exchange perspectives on the development of the Halal tourism market. The event not only opened up opportunities for collaboration but also encouraged the development of a comprehensive Halal tourism ecosystem, spanning accommodation, food and beverage, transportation, products and services for travelers.
Vikoda Proudly Serves as the Exclusive Drinking Water Sponsor of the Vietnam Halal Tourism Conference 2026
To successfully tap into the Halal tourism market, destination potential alone is not enough. Every touchpoint throughout the travel experience must demonstrate respect for the faith, culture and specific requirements of the Muslim community. Food and beverages, in particular, play an important role in shaping travelers’ sense of comfort, trust and confidence when choosing a destination.
As the drinking water sponsor, Vikoda provided hydration and mineral replenishment for 350 delegates throughout the conference. The presence of Vikoda bottles at delegates’ tables not only contributed to the event’s thoughtful hospitality but also served as a tangible demonstration of the product’s ability to meet Halal requirements while being sourced and produced in Vietnam.
Vikoda’s role therefore went beyond simply providing drinking water for the event. The brand offered a suitable beverage option within the Halal tourism service ecosystem, while demonstrating that Vietnamese businesses can proactively enhance their products and processes to meet rigorous international standards and serve international travelers. This represents a practical step toward strengthening Vietnam’s capacity to welcome Muslim travelers and enhancing the professionalism of the country’s tourism industry.
Vikoda Natural Alkaline Mineral Water, Halal-Certified Under Halal MS 1500:2019, Trusted Throughout the Event
The foundation of Vikoda’s participation is its Halal certification in accordance with Halal Standard MS 1500:2019 and Islamic law requirements. The certification not only expands opportunities for the product to reach Muslim consumers but also reflects the brand’s efforts to standardize its processes, strengthen quality management capabilities and adapt to the requirements of different markets.
Behind this journey toward meeting international standards lies the precious natural alkaline mineral source of Khanh Hoa. Every bottle of Vikoda is sourced directly from the Dang Thanh mineral spring, located within a 35-hectare protected zone and isolated from external environmental impacts to help preserve its purity and natural properties from the source.
Vikoda Natural Alkaline Mineral Water has a naturally occurring pH of 9.0, formed without electrolysis. The water also contains naturally occurring trace minerals, with TDS ranging from 100–400 mg/L, along with components such as H₂SiO₃, HCO₃⁻, Na⁺, K⁺ and Ca²⁺, contributing to mineral replenishment, metabolism and electrolyte balance. These qualities provide the foundation for Vikoda to deliver consistent-quality natural mineral water to consumers.

Vikoda’s credibility in the market is further reinforced by its 5 “Good” standards — an ongoing commitment to quality. From protecting the mineral source and controlling extraction processes to proactively meeting international requirements, Vikoda continues to enhance its capabilities so that the natural values of Vietnam can be appreciated by diverse communities and markets around the world.
The “Gem Within the Rock” philosophy embraced by Vikoda also resonates with the conference’s message of global integration. For the brand, natural value should not only be cherished and preserved, but also developed on a foundation of standards, understanding and respect for differences. It is this combination of distinctive identity and adaptability that gives a Vietnamese brand the strength to reach further into the world.
Through its sponsorship of the Vietnam Halal Tourism Conference 2026, Vikoda continues to affirm its role in supporting new milestones in Vietnam’s tourism development. From the Dang Thanh natural alkaline mineral source, every bottle of Vikoda is gradually becoming a bridge that brings the value of Khanh Hoa closer to the international community, contributing to an image of Vietnam that is welcoming, professional and ready to embrace global integration.
