YANGON, 13 August 2020: Abercrombie & Kent Myanmar, has launched “Discover Your Asia”, a series of tailor-made tours for domestic travellers.
In the launch publicity, the travel firm says it is offering Myanmar residents a chance to “elevate their domestic travel experience”.
The trips are packaged with hotels, private guides, vehicles and personalised services.
The company is also offering custom day tours with personal meetings with cultural experts in Yangon and special resident rates for August sailings on the all-suite Sanctuary Ananda river cruise.
“These journeys are perfect for residents who want to see and experience Myanmar in a new way”, explained A&K Myanmar country manager Severine Fallet.
Usually, A&K sells tours that are exclusively for foreign tourists visiting Myanmar, but the Covid-19 pandemic has halted all bookings since mid-March.
“We are offering special residents-only rates on the Sanctuary Ananda cruise and giving domestic travellers a chance to experience a luxury cruise they always dreamed of but at a more accessible price.”
Here are samples of Abercrombie & Kent’s new multi-day tours offering engaging travel experiences and tailored to the domestic market.
