Dear Partners,

It‟s that time of the year, when we start planning for the last quarter

of 2011.

We have been working closely with our key partners around the

Region to come up with a great choice to fit all your customers‟ needs.

We start with unbeatable savings in Thailand with a selection of

accommodation; ranging from budget options, to pool villas, to

apartment-styles for longer stays.

Vietnam beach holidays are becoming more popular and are perfect to

combine with touring around this fascinating country. Why not bolt a

Saigon or Hanoi city break to one of our special offers?

For something totally different, see our Myanmar section for an

alternative, undiscovered beach recommendation. Ideal for the kind of

customer wanting an authentic and quiet Asian multi-centre. Add

Yangon‟s colonial charm and Bagan‟s ancient marvel's for the perfect

itinerary.

Malaysia boasts four excellent choices covering the white sandy

beaches of Langkawi to Borneo. Combine soft adventure with Sabah‟s

shores for your relaxation element.

Sri Lanka and the Maldives feature too and are ideal as a twin-

destination stay. With regular air access between the two countries,

it‟s a perfect choice.

We trust you will be inspired by this edition of PASSPORT.

Best regards,

Victoria Sertic
