"The change of name is also the consolidation of our commitment to the B2B model we have honed for the past two decades as we now look to the future. Our development is testament to our partners, team and ability to deliver consistently high quality and memorable travel experiences. It is now time for us to grow and bring our excellence in service to the world."
Despite the expansion, ASIA DMC is deeply committed to retaining the original DNA which established reputation and success as HG Travel.
