The updated Easia Active Guaranteed Departure (or “Seat-In-Coach”) production for 2024 enables outbound Tour Operators and Travel Agencies around the world to serve their active, adventurous, and budget-minded travelers with guaranteed departure tours, offering a wider variety of sport types and a spectrum of intensity levels, throughout Thailand, Vietnam, Laos & Cambodia.
Designed to suit multiple traveler types & styles, from active leisure solo travelers to groups of more experienced adventure travel enthusiasts looking for a fun & dynamic group experience, all our financially risk-free seat-in-coach tours offer immersive exploration of our destinations actively and respectfully. The terms also provide ample opportunities for your travelers to immerse in the local and welcoming Southeast Asian culture and have meaningful encounters along their journey.
Each program includes outdoor excursions such as hiking, kayaking, or easy cycling, allowing your travelers to explore unique areas off the beaten path. At the same time, they connect and share experiences with the welcoming people of Asia.
By integrating visits and excursions facilitated by small community-based tourism organizations as well as overnights at local family-run homestays and more, your travelers will not only be able to learn a great deal from the local culture. Still, they will be able to directly benefit the communities they visit financially, allowing them to impact the destinations they visit positively.
These guaranteed-departure (SIC) tours are specifically designed for travel agents and tour operators looking to offer their travelers:
- Exciting and active holidays in Southeast Asia, where your travelers explore a range of cultural and natural sites through hiking, cycling, kayaking, etc., instead of being whisked around in the traditional “hop-on, hop-off” fashion
- More time spent outdoors, away from crowded spaces, surrounded by nature
- Respectful encounters with local communities
- A more conscious way of traveling aimed at enabling your customers to leave a positive impact on the regions visited
- A great join-in option for single travelers who prefer to travel in groups
Key elements:
- Guaranteed departures from 2 pax up
- Small and intimate international groups from 2 to 16pax (max)
- Professional & knowledgeable English-speaking guides who have in-depth knowledge of the region and are trained in first aid
- 24/7 on-spot support team
- Personally inspected rooms in vetted accommodation.
- Guaranteed high-quality sports equipment and transportation
- Well-balanced itineraries of outdoor excursions and cultural/historical visits
- There are no financial obligations; you pay as you book
- Flexibility → your travelers can privatize a tour upon request
The times listed below will allow you to promote & sell well-balanced active leisure and hiking holidays in Asia and capitalize on the growing ‘slow travel’ trend once travel to Southeast Asia resumes.
