DTH Travel launches 12 Asia training guides for agents

The new guides are filled with specialist local tips and guidance for planning and booking trips to the 12 destinations within DTH Travel’s portfolio, including: 

• Thailand
• Malaysia
• Philippines
• Vietnam
• Cambodia
• Laos
• Singapore
• Hong Kong
• China

The ‘made easy’ compact selling guides include an ‘at a glance’ introduction to give a flavour to each country or city. The ‘important basics’ covers useful information from cultural etiquette and visas to seasonality, sustainability and route planning, as well as insider tips on classic and new places to go, and what to do.

Commenting on the new training tools, Meggie Valdes, Group Marketing Director at DTH Travel said: "Asia is a complex region; each destination has its own unique culture, practices, etiquette and landscapes to navigate. Selling one destination requires expert knowledge alone, and with the increase in consumer demand for multi-centre itineraries, slow travel and longer more immersive trips, and constant developments within each destination, it’s never been more important to ensure agents are armed with practical and easily digestible information to maintain their level of expertise and understanding."

The guides also focus on cultural tips and how to ‘travel smart’ including top FAQs and insider tips, sharing their local knowledge. This is a lovely personal touch that gives agents a special advantage on what to recommend to their clients.

“Our DTH teams across Asia are constantly travelling, learning, and developing new tour ideas and experiences. Our passion for exploration and connection to local communities makes us stand out as true travel experts, and we’re proud to share this through our guides,” said Stephan Roemer, chief executive of DTH Travel.

“The sales guides demonstrate the level of service we offer our customers. We are committed to supporting our trade partners, and can also provide a range of individualised consulting and training solutions to cater to particular needs” added Roemer.
