Indus Experiences returns to the AITO family

The company’s expertise spans India, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Indochina, Oman and Uzbekistan.

Marketing director Asiya Zargar said: “We are delighted to reaffirm our partnership with AITO and our commitment to the highest travel industry standards. 

"Indus Experiences is fully aligned with AITO's Quality Charter credentials and dedicated to promoting sustainable tourism. 

"We are especially looking forward to working more closely with AITO Specialist Travel Agents, taking part in AITO events and sharing our passion for tailor-made travel in Asia."

Zargar continued: "From small beginnings as an India specialist, we are now entering our 30th year in business with an exciting and original portfolio throughout central and south-east Asia. 

"Rejoining AITO is part of a raft of trade support initiatives that we're currently undertaking. To help our trade partners gain more insight into the destinations we cover, we've also launched a successful online training programme.  

"The pandemic saw a seismic shift, with thousands of experienced travel agents leaving the industry. It's great to see so many enthusiastic newcomers arriving on the scene and now is the time to tap into that buzz and help them build their knowledge and skills."

AITO executive director Martyn Sumners added: “AITO is there to champion and support SME travel businesses, and we are thrilled to welcome back Indus Experiences into the AITO family. 

"Their commitment to sustainability and quality aligns with AITO’s mission, and we believe their expertise will greatly benefit our Specialist Travel Agents and enhance the travel experiences they offer.”

Indus Experiences supports travel agents to create immersive tailor-made itineraries, focusing on authentic and memorable experiences, soft adventures, insights into daily life and culture, and hand-picked accommodation, from characterful boutique properties to opulent palaces. 

The family-run specialist also offers river cruises, classic rail journeys and small group tours in keeping with its ethos of sustainability and giving back to local communities.
