Easia Travel
Easia Travel (and Easia Incentive) was created in 2000 by three travel professionals bringing together their knowledge of the industry. With 9 offices, 314 multi-lingual staff, Easia 'Make Asia Easy for you'. They specialise in designing bespoke incentive trips to Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand. Connection with local people is at the core of their philosophy on travel and as a result they are committed to introducing travellers to the rich cultures and scenic diversity of the destinations.
By regularly carrying out quality assurance checks with their third party suppliers, staying updated with the requirements by law in their own countries and ensuring their standards exceed those required by UK Health and Safety Laws, Easia Travel guarantee the smooth completion of their projects.
Myanmar
Myanmar is one of the last remaining places on earth that has not given in to the tourist trade and, as a result, is still genuine and untouched by the hands of Western influence. The country as you see it today remains much the way it was centuries ago. After a 15 year ban on tourism ended in 2010, Myanmar (formerly Burma) slowly welcomed back international travellers with an emphasis on legitimate and sustainable travel. That’s why Easia Travel works as much as possible with local people ensuring a fairer distribution of the benefits linked to tourism.
