Country Holidays was established in Singapore at the end of 1993 and has since gone on to specialize in high-quality cultural trips and adventure tours.

The founders of the company, Theng Hwee & Siew Yim, are a husband and wife team, who noticed a trend among Singaporean travel agents to cater only to mass tourism with an emphasis on shopping and dining. They therefore decided to found Country Holidays to service the more discerning traveler wishing to explore destinations that are off the beaten track.

Beginning with a focus on treks in the Himalayas, Country Holidays has since broadened its horizons to cover many more remote corners of the world. The launch of voyages to the Antarctic in 1995 was a particular point of pride for the company and marked them out as pioneers of Singapore's travel scene.

Today they specialize in the following locations and destinations that are sure to amaze and delight clients that wish to explore the road-less-travelled:

• Indo China Adventures & Tours: Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos & Cambodia
• Himalayan Adventures: Nepal, India, Pakistan & Bhutan
• China & Central Asia
• The Middle East
• Eastern Europe
• African Safaris: South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Kenya, Tanzania & Uganda
• South American Tours: eco-nature based trips & adventures in Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Brazil, Argentina & Chile
• Polar Voyages: The Antarctic & Arctic

Overseas Expansion

The demand for Country Holidays' Indochina products has been so strong that to ensure consistently high standards, the company has set up joint ventures with local partners in Cambodia and Vietnam called Asian Roads with a particular emphasis on the provision of first-class, highly knowledgable guides.

In addition, Country Holidays has opened representative offices in Shanghai, Hong Kong and Beijing to better serve its China-based clients and despite the expansion, the company is determined to retain its hallmark of high-quality, personalized services.
