EXO Travel recently launched three exciting multi-country family journeys, highlighting the best of the region while delighting both kids and adults.
The Indochina region, which includes Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, has been growing in popularity in recent years and, along with it, a growing interest in family travel.
Having designed and operated countless families and multi-generational trips over the years, EXO has tapped into our experience and local destination knowledge to create three new programmes that strike the perfect balance of culture, fun, adventure and relaxation for families.
In addition to using family-friendly hotels and thoughtfully-paced travel schedules, the programmes include special experiences tailored for younger travelers. Hands-on cultural learning activities, soft adventures, local encounters and more bring the destinations to life, fostering a connection with the country and its people in a way that is educational yet exciting.
