Celebrate the festive season with Pandaw

By
TTR WEEKLY
-

SINGAPORE, 19 September 2023: Pandaw, a river cruise specialist, introduces special Christmas and New Year sailings in 2023 featuring the Mekong River in Southeast Asia and two rivers in India.

Two festive season cruises are featured on the Mekong River, with bookings open for upstream and downstream cruises. One of the cruises explores the Mekong River in northern Laos, cruising from the Lao capital to Chiang Khong on the Thai-Lao Border. A second Mekong River cruise explores the Mekong Delta, sailing from Ho Chi Minh City to Cambodia and then to the Tonle Sap and the fabled temples of Angkor near Siem Reap.

The Christmas and New Year special sailings have no single supplement for those travelling solo. The cruises come with specially crafted festive menus and onboard entertainment.

The Laos Mekong
Pandaw’s 10-night expedition on the Upper Mekong. Sailing between Chiang Khong on the Thai-Laos border and through Laos to the capital, Vientiane, the trip delivers stunning scenery and opportunities to meet friendly locals and learn more about Laos’ national animal, the majestic elephant. The cruise stops for three nights at the UNESCO World Heritage City of Luang Prabang, with its dazzling wood-carved monasteries, before heading through the mountain gorges.

The Lower Ganges & Brahmaputra River

There can be no river in the world as sacred as the Ganges, and an expedition on the Lower Ganges or Hooghly is one of the prettiest river journeys imaginable. The river winds its way through the lush countryside of West Bengal, with its culturally significant towns crammed with temples and palaces. A rich and vibrant rural life abounds, and there is never a dull moment as we sedately ply this pleasant waterway. Combine this with the mighty Brahmaputra river in Northern India, which originates high in the Himalayas before flowing through the scenic Assam Valley, where UNESCO-protected national parks and remote rural communities provide the traveller with the most wonderful and authentic expedition.

The Classic Mekong

No tapestry of river life as fascinating and varied as the River Mekong. Indeed, there can be no more striking cultural contrast than that between the bustling Vietnam delta and the tranquillity of Cambodia. The cruise starts from Saigon port (Ho Chi Minh City) and sails through the vast delta rich in human life and endeavour, along the main channel into the rich countryside of Cambodia. With a full day in the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh, the cruise explores remoter waterways as it progresses to the great monuments of Angkor.

High water notice: During the months of September to November, water levels may rise significantly, leading to issues accessing the Tonle Sap River. During this time, the itinerary points on the Tonle Sap could be replaced by sailing north on the Mekong River to Kratie, featuring excursions to view the Irrawaddy dolphins.

-

DUBAI, 19 September 2023: Emirates and Maldivian have announced an interline partnership, enabling Emirates customers to access 16 popular holiday destinations in the Maldives beyond Malé.

The agreement follows last year’s signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two airlines.

The interline agreement will create more options for Emirates customers when travelling to the Maldivian archipelago, using both carriers’ services and networks on a single ticket while enhancing the customer experience throughout the journey.

Customers travelling to exotic island destinations in the Maldives will now reap the benefit of flying into more popular holiday spots after connecting easily and seamlessly from Velana International Airport in the North Malé atoll. Emirates passengers will link to Maldivian’s services to reach a choice of domestic points for their island getaway.

From 15 September, travel itineraries can be booked on emirates.com, the Emirates mobile app, or preferred travel agents for flights effective immediately.

Emirates’ chief commercial officer Adnan Kazim said: “By partnering with the Maldivian flag carrier, we can offer customers smooth connections when flying to a wide choice of islands within the country via Malé. By extending this added-value benefit, our customers from across the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and the Americas can plan their journey to the Maldives with the convenience of booking flights on a single ticket to reach their final destination.”

Emirates customers can fly to airports in a selection of popular atolls via Malé including Dharavandhoo Island (DRV), Faresmathoda Airport (FMT), Funadhoo Airport (FND), Fuvahmulak Island Airport (FVM), Gan Island International (GAN), Kooddoo Island (GKK), Hanimaadhoo Island Airport (HAQ), Kulhudhuffushi Airport (HDK), Hoarafushi Airport (HRF), Kaadedhdhoo Island Airport (KDM), Kadhdhoo Island (KDO), Madivaru Airport (LMV), Maafaru International Airport (NMF), Maavarulu Airport (RUL), Thimarafushi Airport (TMF), and Ifuru (IFU).

Customers spending their holidays at other resort islands can also enjoy the convenience of travelling to the closest point in the interline network. They are within reach of their final destination with only a short ride by seaplane or boat.

As the partnership between both airlines evolves, more benefits and conveniences will be added to enhance the customer experience when travelling to the Maldives.

Emirates has supported the development and growth of tourism and trade in the Maldives for over three and a half decades. The award-winning global airline commenced operations in Malé in 1987 and now operates 28 weekly flights between Dubai and the Maldives. With a choice of four flights per day to Malé, customers from across Emirates’ network of almost 140 points have the flexibility to choose flights and enjoy the convenience of minimal connection times.

Through its 29 codeshare, 11 Intermodal and 117 interline partners, Emirates boasts a global footprint encompassing destinations far beyond its network, offering increased connectivity and convenient options for travellers.

BANGKOK, 19 September 2023: S Hotels and Resorts PCL (SET: SHR), the hospitality arm of Singha Estate PCL (SET: S), has announced significant renovations at several hotels in key cities, including Mercure Manchester Piccadilly Hotel, Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh, and The Grand Hotel Leicester, plus extensive upgrades at another eight hotels. 

The UK is S Hotels & Resorts’ largest market, accounting for 65% of the rooms in its global portfolio. The company has 27 hotels comprising 2,940 keys nationwide, operating under brands including Mercure and Holiday Inn.

S Hotels & Resorts is maximising its UK assets by divesting underperforming properties and reinvesting funds – supplemented by an additional investment of around UKP16 million (approx.

In 2021, S Hotels & Resorts purchased an additional 50% stakes in 26 of its UK hotels, and the company recently completed the head lease acquisition of the 76-key Mercure Perth Hotel in Scotland as part of its efficiency improvement strategy in the UK. It has also disposed of three properties: Mercure Newbury Elcot Park Hotel, Mercure Burton upon Trent Newton Park Hotel, and Mercure London Watford Hotel.

SHANGHAI, 18 September 2023: Tourism Malaysia and partners are counting on China’s outbound travel recovery to get visitor arrivals back on track in 2023, and promotional efforts kicked off at ITB China last week.  

That was the message presented by Tourism Malaysia to travel trade visitors attending ITB China 2023, considered the biggest travel trade show in China, focusing on China’s outbound travel sector. The show was held at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Centre from 12 to 14 September 2023. 

The delegation was headed by Tourism Malaysia’s senior director of international promotions (Asia/Africa) division, Manoharan Periasamy. Penang Global Tourism and Sarawak Tourism Board joined Tourism Malaysia as its partner states. The sales team comprised 35 organisations, comprising 15 tour operators, 10 hotels and resorts, two state tourism agencies, three tourism associations, two product owners, two airlines and one tourism-related service. 

ITB China is the leading B2B-exclusive trade show focused on the Chinese Travel Market, with selected buyers from the Greater China area. This is the third time Malaysia has participated since the show’s inception in 2017. With the opening of the China borders in February 2023, Tourism Malaysia sees the show as a suitable platform for industry players to meet and plan their business strategies for the coming years. 

Commenting on the participation, Manoharan Periasamy said, “ITB China is the biggest travel trade show in China, and Malaysia is excited to be part of the show again. We are committed to demonstrating Malaysia’s presence in the China outbound travel market and our readiness to welcome more Chinese tourists to Malaysia. Our co-exhibitors will leverage the pre-scheduled appointments and networking sessions to establish deeper cooperation and garner more business opportunities.”

“China is one of Penang’s most important markets, and it has always been one of the top three arrival countries in Penang. It is crucial to keep the publicity momentum to draw travellers to Penang. Penang Global Tourism has organised the ‘Experience Penang’ roadshow in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, which increased flights from China. We hope our presence in ITB China with Penang industry partners will showcase the versatility of Penang being a world-class destination,” said Penang State EXCO for Tourism & Creative Economy YB Wong Hong Wai.

“We are thrilled to be back to a fully physical ITB China this year and to meet up and revitalise relationships with new and established China travel agents. With borders now fully open, we look forward to creating more opportunities for Chinese visitors to come to Sarawak to enjoy our variety of Culture, Adventure, Nature, Food and Festival offerings available at all our gateways of Kuching, Sibu and Miri,” said Sarawak Tourism Board deputy chief executive officer integrated marketing & communications Suriya Charles Buas.

China remains one of the top markets for Malaysia’s inbound travel, contributing 211,363 arrivals last year. Up to May 2023, Malaysia received 403,121 Chinese tourists, compared to 21,613 (+907.2%) in the same period last year. Malaysia is currently targeting to receive 16.1 million international tourist arrivals with MYR49.2 billion in tourism receipts, with 5 million arrivals targeted to be from the Chinese market. 

With the resumption and announcement of new international routes from Malaysia-based airlines and China-based airlines Air China, Spring Airlines and Xiamen Air, there are currently 217 weekly flights between China and Malaysia.
