World Expeditions Showcases its Asian Cycling Holidays on Agent Famil

18 Dec 2013  2034 | World Travel News

Five NSW travel agents took to their bikes in Vietnam and Cambodia recently, peddling their way on an adventurous familiarization trip, hosted by World Expeditions and Vietnam Airlines.
From Hanoi’s historic Old Quarter, through the peaceful minority villages surrounding the Mai Chau valley, to row boats on the spectacular waterways of Ninh Binh, the group experienced a typical World Expeditions’ cycling and cultural journey in Vietnam, before flying to Siem Reap and continuing their adventure in Cambodia.

According to Phil Wyndham, who manages World Expeditions’ Industry Marketing, the famil was designed to showcase World Expeditions’ extensive range of cycling holidays.

“The feedback we get consistently from our travellers is that cycling is one of the most enjoyable and interesting ways to travel through a country and it was great to share the experience with a group of agents,” Phil said.

World Expeditions reports that cycle trip bookings through travel agents have increased 40% this year, demonstrating that agents are also benefiting from the growth in cycle tourism globally – and Asia is the company’s most popular continent for touring by bike.

World Expeditions has a long standing heritage of cycle touring in Asia: It was the first Australian company to offer cycling in China way back in 1978 and in Vietnam in 1992.

The company now offers 33 different cycling adventures across Asia and caters from those looking for a relaxed, family-friendly adventure through to the committed cyclist looking for something more challenging such as the new 14 day Along The Mekong River By Bike.
