Currently, CBVN has issued CRB12501 bonds worth VND 755 billion with a five-year maturity. The initial interest rate is set at 9.5%/year, with interest payable every 24 months and secured by assets. The next interest payment is expected on 06/27/2027.
CBVN is a subsidiary of Crystal Bay Tourism Group, specializing in package tours and charter flight operations for international guests. The company transitioned to a joint-stock model in April 2025, with a ownership structure comprising Crystal Bay (a company chaired by Mr. Nguyen Duc Chi, who also serves as its legal representative) holding 90%, Mr. Nguyen Duc Chi and Ms. Le Minh Ha each owning 5%. On June 12, just over two weeks before the bond issuance, the chartered capital was raised to VND 340 billion. The company has three legal representatives: Mr. Nguyen Duc Chi – Chairman of the Board, Mr. Huynh Ngoc Duy – General Director, and Ms. Nguyen Thu Trang – Deputy General Director.
According to Saigon Ratings, CBVN caters to the package tour and charter flight needs of international guests, primarily from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan. They are also expanding their reach to markets in Russia, Mongolia, Taiwan, and South Korea.
It’s not just CBVN; another company associated with Mr. Nguyen Duc Chi, Sunbay Ninh Thuan JSC (SBPC), also incurred losses. For the first half of 2025, SBPC reported a record loss of over VND 289 billion, continuing a streak of unprofitable financial results since its initial public disclosure on HNX in 2021.
