Budget Expeditions’ Hot Asia Predictions For 2007
Early indications from Budget Expeditions’ (Bex) Asia tour bookings suggest that in 2007, Vietnam, China and India will be some of the company’s most popular destinations.
Budget Expeditions Sales & Marketing Manager Richard Leonard said the tours will do well in 2007 because they include all the names and places young people want to see, adding, “The reason we put these tours together is because we know they contain sights that are really popular with young people”. “We’re confident our ‘Vietnam Adventure’, ‘Images of India’ and ‘China Encompassed’ tours will continue to be our top sellers in 2007”.
“In Vietnam, we take you all the way through the country on the Reunification Express, showing you exactly the contradictions that occur on many levels, both culturally and geographically”.
Budget Expeditions’19 day ‘Vietnam Adventure’ tour travels from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City or reverse, and encompasses the essence of Vietnam – a combination of friendly people, stunning landscapes, imperial cities, serene beach breaks and divine food. Meet the locals on Bex’s Mekong Delta home stay, discover beautiful villages in Sapa, and contrast the caves in Halong Bay with the pagodas of Hue.
“India is gaining a reputation in the tourism industry and grabbing the imagination of a lot of people, particularly around the Rajasthan area, which is where we have based most of our India tours.” “Delighted one day, frustrated the next – but that’s the joy of travelling in Rajasthan and more part of the reason of seeing it with Bex.”
Bex’s 21 day ‘Images of India’ tour reveals towering fortresses atop desert landscapes, serene hillside communities, majestic architecture created solely in the name of love, and the myriad culture and religion that India is famous for. Go on a camel safari in the Thar Desert, observe tigers in the wild in Ranthambore, discover religious monuments and temples in Southern Rajasthan and weave through Delhi’s chaotic streets.
Speaking about China Richard said, “China – well, it just seems that tourism in China is almost as big as the country itself, with China continuing to grow and grab the attention of young people and trends in the industry reveal that an increasing amount of 18-35’s are choosing to get out there and explore this fascinating country”.
“On Bex’s 21 day ‘China Encompassed & Yangtze’ tour, you’ll discover how modern China blends ancient cultures, cosmopolitan sophistication and rural charm and the tour will have you living and breathing the Chinese way of life with visits to the infamous Great Wall of China, Terracotta Warriors museum, and Yangtze River”. “Go shopping in Shanghai, take a tai chi lesson in Yangshuo and indulge in the legendary prosperous city of Guangzhou.”
He added, “18-35’s can’t go past what we’re offering with Bex based on our low prices, value for money and unique tour style. It’s the perfect offering for young people wanting the experience of a lifetime.”
