Australia’s expert in small group journeys and tailor-made holidays to Asia, Travel Indochina, is celebrating a significant milestone with the opening of a new joint venture office in Laos and expansion of its Vietnamese operations, bringing its presence to over 95 staff in seven offices across the region.<\/span><\/p>\n

Managing Director and co-founder of Travel Indochina, Paul Hole, says the expansion demonstrates the company\u2019s strength and ongoing commitment to Asia.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cIn order to meet growing demand, we\u2019ve expanded our offices in Saigon and opened a new space in Danang in Central Vietnam, as well as opening new \u2018street front\u2019 presences in both Luang Prabang and Vientiane in Laos,\u201d according to Paul.<\/div>\n
\"The<\/div>\n
\u201cIn particular the signing of a joint venture agreement with our local Laotian partners is very exciting, and marks a significant milestone in our twenty year history.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThis joint venture allows us to really take advantage of emerging new opportunities in the region and cement our position as a truly local tour operator.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThis investment clearly demonstrates our deepening commitment to our Asian operations and reiterates our Indochina specialist status. Most importantly it also allows us to continue to deliver on our promise to share the experience with our travellers.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"TheThe company\u2019s ever increasing \u2018on the ground\u2019 presence provides great benefits; not only are the local offices able to source great prices, innovative touring experiences and provide assurances of quality and consistency through the regular inspection of selected hotels, attractions and tour inclusions, they also offer Travel Indochina\u2019s passengers complete peace of mind, with local staff always readily at hand.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve come a long way from our humble beginnings 20 years ago,\u201d according to Paul, \u201cand we\u2019ve built a company that I am very proud of. Experience matters and we have a very experienced, professional team.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWhen we first started out, I would not have dared predict we would be where we are today, with seven offices across Asia, as well as our Australian, UK and US teams. Importantly, our local offices help us maintain an unrivalled in-depth local knowledge and authenticity of experience true to our founding philosophy, despite our size.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cSharing our experience and passion for the region is still an integral part of our handcrafted Small Group Journeys and tailor made holidays. The benefit of our size is it permits us to offer something for everyone across our extensive range of itinerary options. This choice is supported by our ability to negotiate better prices, provide a higher standard of quality and safety, and our capacity to constantly search out new and interesting tour inclusions.\u201d<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
