COVID Safe Travels
As travellers are coming back to Asia here are the health & safety measures we apply on the ground to receive clients and comply with local regulations.
We have since -2021 adopted the Safe Travels protocols based on guidelines of WTTC (World Travel and Tourism Council) & WHO (World Health Organisation) to implement new safety practices and standards. These augmented the health and safety guidelines set out by destinations/governments to create worry-free travel experiences for future travellers.
Among our 13 destinations, all countries are currently open for tourism. For further details per country, please check out the summaries below and check out their related links for detailed country-specific info!
