3 THE EXO EXPERIENCE A luxury experience can mean different things to different people, but with EXO Travel it means everything. We have been crafting luxury bespoke experiences for over 20 Years; many of which are exclusive to EXO. From boutique yachting expeditions to uninhabited tropical archipelagos in Myanmar, private blessings with Monks in Thailand or an exclusive dinner with a Geisha in Japan, EXO delivers experiences that will stay with your clients forever. Asia s luxury offering is as good as any place on earth, with exclusive hotels and resorts frequented by Royalty and Hollywood A-Listers amongst others. The luxury sector in Asia has seen strong expansion over the last few years and EXO has been perfectly positioned. With teams on the ground in every country we operate in, we have established excellent relationships with luxury hotels and premier transportation experts. From helipads making it easy for guests to whizz easily from destination to destination, to private chartered flights and VIP airport Visa services, our focus is on maximising the time spent experiencing the sights and sounds that Asia has to offer. Asia s luxury options are endless and the only thing limiting the scope of experiences on offer are the boundaries of the imagination.
