Financial Risk Management via the Measurement of Volatility of Market Risk of Viet Nam Tourism and Airline Industry after the Low Inflation Period 2015- 2017

Risk management policies and tools have been becoming one of hottest issues since collapses during
global crisis 2007-2009. The Vietnam economy and tourism & airline industry have gained lots of
achievements after the financial crisis 2007-2011, until it reached a low inflation rate of 0.6% in 2015.
Tourism & airline companies face challenges in expanding Vietnam market such as pricing policy and
supporting services, etc. This paper measures the volatility of market risk in Viet Nam tourism & airline
industry after this period (2015-2017). The main reason is the vital role of the tourism & airline
company group in Vietnam in the economic development and growth in recent years always go with
risk potential and risk control policies.
This research paper aims to figure out how much increase or decrease in the market risk of Vietnam
tourism & airline firms during the post-low inflation period 2015-2017.
First, by using quantitative combined with comparative data analysis method, we find out the risk level
measured by equity beta mean in the tourism & airline industry is acceptable, i.e it is little lower than
(<) 1.
Then, one of its major findings is the comparison between risk level of tourism & airline industry during
the financial crisis 2007-2009 compared to those in the post-low inflation time 2015-2017. In fact, the
research findings show us market risk fluctuation, measured by asset and equity beta var, during the
post-low inflation time has decreased slightly.
Finally, this paper provides some ideas that could provide companies and government more evidence
in establishing their policies in governance. This is the complex task but the research results shows us
warning that the market risk volatility might be higher during the post-low inflation period 2015-2017.
And our conclusion part will recommend some policies and plans to deal with it. Finding new potential
markets and credit and financing policies are among directions for tourism & airline companies.
