Creative Holidays has launched its 2009 Vietnam & Cambodia program offering the trade an expanded product range, as well as new, more flexible travel options that can be tailored to suit specific clients’ time and budget requests.

The new program boasts a full page of new hotels in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, including two new beach resorts – The Furama near Danang and the Nam Hai near Hoi An, Vietnam. The program also has more tour options in both Vietnam and Cambodia including cruises on the Makong Delta from Saigon to Siem Reap and visa versa as well as a cultural overnight trip to Mai Chau village near Hanoi.

All this has been added to the already extensive program which features Halong Bay boat options, including the Halong Ginger, a five-star high-end junk for travellers looking for a more luxurious experience. The program also includes more hotel options in the popular cities of Saigon, Hanoi and Hoi An, a full page outlining Sapa train and rail options as well as the product in the beach areas of Phu Quoc Island, Phan Thiet and Quy Nhon.

Andrew Yell, general manager, product, sales and marketing, Creative Holidays said “This year we have a really diverse range of products designed to suit all markets, including families, couples, singles, those on a budget, the more adventurous, people looking for a hands-on experience and those after romance, luxury and indulgence.

“The interest in travelling to Vietnam and Cambodia has grown significantly over the last 12 months and continues to be popular choice with Australians. In fact, we have seen sales increase significantly over the past year as Vietnam continues to be well priced and affordable with a great range of accommodation and tour options.

“We have been able to increase our range to offer more five-star resorts, like the Six Senses in Nha Trang and the Nam Hai in Hoi An, more options to the booming family market and, option of independent flexible itineraries and group trips where solo travellers and singles are able to join one of the two group tours. We have the country covered now and due to the big demand, the expanded product range caters for anyone who wants to visit Vietnam.

“We have an excellent ground handler who is both professional and dedicated with exceptional guides and staff, and will ensure your clients will experience Vietnam in the best way possible.

“Truly flexible independent touring is always a popular choice and consultants now have more options than ever with Creative Holidays. Agents can tailor an itinerary exclusively for their clients with us, right down to the standard of accommodation, duration, budget and sightseeing options.

“Tailoring a trip for clients is simple in Vietnam because geographically the country runs over 3000km from north to south, so the most practical itineraries traverse the country from top to bottom or vise versa, with as many, or as few, stops in between as travellers would like.

However, with the boom in interest to the region demand can sometimes out number supply, so book your clients early to ensure they don’t miss out during peak seasons.

“Moving forward into 2009, we expect to see growth continue for Vietnam, particularly as the region is so accessible, easy to travel though and appeals to such a broad cross-section of the market.”
