Asia Vu: Revisiting the Crazy Rich Asian Yacht Charter Market
Dear Travel Professionals,
Happy September and New Year! I am excited to send you our latest Travel Agentnewsletter.
First, thank you to all the agents who have contacted us for quotes and firm bookings for your clients. We love working with you all so please keep calling!
As you know, Familiarization (Fam) Trips are essential to all of us in the travel business; staying on top of industry trends is key. As more and more yachts are locating to Asia-Pacific, I'm making another trip to South East Asia - Asia vu, as it were. This time I'll be in Thailand in October, sailing out of Phuket on a 62' catamaran offering dive adventures. You can follow my journey on all social media channels.
This newly-popular region will give us more options in booking private yacht travel. Last year when I toured Cambodia and Vietnam on the luxury yacht AQUA MEKONG, I saw the popularity of these destinations and all the yacht charters and services growing around them. Yes, it's a crazy rich Asian yacht charter market!
I look forward to keeping you in the know on my journey from Boston to Bangkok. Be sure to watch my Facebook,Instagram and Twitter feeds for on-the-spot reporting!
Oh, and if any of you have been to Chiang Mai or Phuket, please email me your list of "must do and see"! to [email protected]

Your client calls and wants to have a rich experience with family or friends. They're considering Thailand, Indonesia, maybe the Mekong River in Cambodia and Vietnam. They're adventurous, able-bodied and curious. They've even mentioned swimming with sharks on the Whitsunday Islands or in the Great Barrier Reef?
