Handmade Holidays for Travellers<br />
On behalf of the Travel Indochina team I am very proud to welcome you to our<br />
Handmade Holidays collection.<br />
We all know that handmade treasures are unique. Handcrafted watches are of superior quality and<br />
tailormade clothing makes for a better fit. Your Handmade Holiday will ensure you have a memorable<br />
experience with the real Asia. Our team on the ground, and here in Australia, have created this<br />
brochure with you, our travellers, in mind. It represents our many years of combined experience<br />
and everything that we have come to love about this special part of the world. In designing<br />
Handmade Holidays, we’ve avoided the clichés of generic package holidays and bring you real<br />
experiences with the full flavour that can only come from local knowledge and expertise.<br />
Asia’s diversity and magic are legendary. You’re about to discover her most treasured secrets<br />
with the people who know her best – the experts at Travel Indochina.<br />
Our Handmade Holidays collection represents the very best experiences in Asia. On the pages that<br />
follow you will find specially selected hotels and resorts, Small Group Journeys and private touring<br />
options. No matter what your interests, this brochure will allow you to tailor your own Handmade<br />
Holiday in Indochina. Each hotel, package and destination has been specially selected by our local<br />
experts with your ideal experience in mind. We have also included a selection of our Small Group<br />
Journeys; make sure to check out our Small Group Journeys brochure for many, many more.<br />
And because we’re based in Asia, you can be sure we are at the forefront; this means we can<br />
arrange the very best customised holidays for individuals, families and special interest groups.<br />
So if, like us, you want to combine your love of travel and culture with an amazing holiday,<br />
look no further. I look forward to seeing you in Asia.<br />
