His original and adapted Vietnamese worship songs such as “Grace of the Cross”, “Christmas Then and Now”, and “Light of the World” have been widely sung in churches across the country, bringing comfort and hope to thousands of worshippers.
In 2011, after nearly 10 years working as a sales manager at Vietnam Tourism - Samuel Pan established ZIONTOUR, which has since evolved into a leading inbound travel company specializing in high-quality, tailor-made itineraries for international visitors. Under his leadership, the company has built strong networks across Asia and Europe, promoting Vietnam’s beauty while upholding professional hospitality standards.
