A Memorable Two-Day Team Outing in Cần Thơ
At Parisi Grand Smooth Logistics (PGS), building strong relationships goes beyond the workplace. A successful logistics company relies on teamwork, communication, and trust, and this spirit was celebrated during the PGS Vietnam HCM Team Outing in July 2026.
The Vietnam HCM team enjoyed an unforgettable two-day retreat in Cần Thơ, the largest city in southwestern Vietnam. Situated on the banks of the majestic Mekong River, Cần Thơ is well known for its rich culture, vibrant waterways, thriving agricultural industry, and warm hospitality.
The outing was an excellent opportunity for colleagues to step away from their daily responsibilities, strengthen friendships, and experience one of Vietnam's most fascinating destinations together. Through sightseeing, shared meals, and team activities, everyone returned with wonderful memories and renewed motivation.
Discovering the Beauty of Cần Thơ
Often referred to as the gateway to the Mekong Delta, Cần Thơ offers a unique blend of natural beauty, traditional culture, and modern development. The city plays an important role in Vietnam's agricultural economy and is famous for its extensive river network that supports local communities and businesses.
During the two-day trip, the PGS Vietnam team had the chance to explore several iconic attractions while enjoying the peaceful atmosphere that makes Cần Thơ one of Vietnam's most popular domestic travel destinations.
From scenic rivers to bustling floating markets, every experience reflected the region's rich heritage and hardworking communities.
Experiencing the Famous Cái Răng Floating Market
One of the highlights of the outing was a visit to the Cái Răng Floating Market, one of Vietnam's most famous and largest floating markets.
Unlike traditional markets, vendors here conduct business directly from their boats along the Mekong River. Every morning, hundreds of boats gather to sell fresh fruits, vegetables, and local agricultural products harvested from nearby farms.
The floating market offers visitors an authentic glimpse into daily life in the Mekong Delta, where generations of families have lived and worked on the river.
For the PGS team, witnessing this unique way of trading was both educational and inspiring. It highlighted the importance of waterways in supporting local commerce and transportation—an aspect closely connected to the logistics industry.
Exploring Fish Farms and Fruit Orchards
Cần Thơ is widely recognized for its fertile land and abundant agricultural production. Throughout the region, visitors can find:
- Large fish farms supporting Vietnam's seafood industry.
- Vast fruit orchards producing tropical fruits such as mangoes, dragon fruit, durian, rambutan, and longan.
- Scenic countryside landscapes filled with canals and rivers.
The team enjoyed learning about the agricultural practices that make the Mekong Delta one of Southeast Asia's most productive farming regions.
These experiences also provided valuable insight into Vietnam's supply chains and agricultural exports, industries that play a significant role in international logistics.
Visiting the Historic Bình Thuỷ Ancient House
Another memorable destination during the outing was the Bình Thuỷ Ancient House, one of Cần Thơ's best-preserved historical landmarks.
Built over a century ago, the house beautifully combines French colonial architecture with traditional Vietnamese design. Surrounded by lush gardens and filled with antique furniture, it offers visitors a fascinating journey into Vietnam's cultural heritage.
Walking through the historic residence allowed the team to appreciate the country's rich history while enjoying one of the region's most photographed attractions.
The visit served as a reminder that every destination has its own unique story, making travel not only enjoyable but also culturally enriching.
Building Stronger Connections Beyond the Workplace
While sightseeing was a major part of the journey, the true purpose of the outing was to strengthen relationships among team members.
Throughout the two days, colleagues enjoyed:
- Group sightseeing activities.
- Team meals featuring delicious Vietnamese cuisine.
- Casual conversations outside the office environment.
- Shared laughter and memorable moments captured in photographs.
These experiences help create stronger collaboration back in the workplace. When employees know each other beyond their professional roles, communication becomes more open, teamwork improves, and challenges are solved more efficiently.
At PGS, investing in people is considered just as important as investing in business growth.
Celebrating Team Spirit Through Shared Experiences
Every successful company is built on people who work together toward common goals.
The July 2026 team outing demonstrated PGS's commitment to creating a positive workplace culture where employees feel valued and connected.
The beautiful scenery of the Mekong Delta, combined with enjoyable activities and quality time together, created the perfect setting for celebrating the achievements of the Vietnam HCM team.
The photographs captured throughout the trip reflect genuine smiles, friendship, and the strong team spirit that continues to drive PGS forward.
Why Employee Engagement Matters

Benefits include:
- Stronger collaboration across departments.
