| Mega Indochina increase

TRAVEL Indochina has experienced a
whopping 400% year-on-year increase in cruise
passenger numbers since the debut of its
inaugural River Cruising brochure.
The announcement comes on the eve of the
release of the company’s second River Cruising
brochure, Asia River Cruising 2012-14, which
has been designed to keep up with the
extreme growth.
As such the new brochure has upped its
pages from 36 to 52, and also features a
swathe of new destinations such as Burma.
Four itineraries feature in the new Burma
product range including a four-day Highlights
of Burma Yangon-Mandalay-Sagaing-Bagan-
Yangon option and an eight-day Ayeyarwady
Adventure.
Vessels servicing the Burma itineraries include
the RV Paukan and The Road to Mandalay.
Other new features of the latest Asia 2012-
14 program include two new seven- and 11-
day Laos itineraries, and new multi-country
itineraries across Vietnam, Cambodia and
Laos, including the 22-day All Along the
Mekong voyage from Siem Reap to Saigon.
“The strong growth in the category is
partially attributable to the great new product
and itineraries available to highly desirable
destinations like Burma and Indochina,” said
md of Travel Indochina, Paul Hole.
