Following the successful launch of its Vietnam Holidays �Footloose in Asia� brochure, Travel Indochina is proud to announce the launch of vietnamholidays.com.au, a dedicated website for independent holidays to Asia�s hottest destinations.

Designed specifically for the independent-minded traveller, the website has all the information a budget traveller needs to design their own holiday, offering a �menu� of different options - flight, destination and accommodation combinations that allow total flexibility.

Agents will find the site particularly useful, the special �Agents Info� section providing valuable time-saving information on flight schedules, booking classes and conditions. The �Suggested Itineraries� section puts forward practical advice from Travel Indochina on the best spots to visit in Vietnam � something that many agents have requested.

The new website features amazing value land and airfare packages to Vietnam and beyond. Packages start with the Saigon Special which gives you access to a return airfare from only $934 incl. taxes (ex Melbourne) when you purchase the Saigon City Stay, 4 nights accommodation, daily breakfast and arrival transfer from only $150pp.

The website is particularly attractive to travellers who want the convenience and ability to 'free wheel' through their chosen destination, but may have time constraints limiting their options. For example, the Vietnam Explorer � a design your own holiday package which includes; return international airfares, 2 FREE domestic flights and 13 nights accommodation with daily breakfast from only $1591pp incl. taxes (ex Melbourne). The combination of domestic flights and a selection of comfortable budget hotels throughout the country makes it easy, and very affordable, to design your own tailor made holiday within specific time frames.

�Asian add-ons� that allow a combination of fascinating Asian countries are a special feature of the site. �The deals on this website mean that the traveller can make Vietnam their base from which to explore so much of Asia, from the majestic Temples of Angkor in Cambodia to the Great Wall in Beijing. Starting from only $80 one way, these add- on flights are the cheapest that can be found anywhere and make a multi-destination holiday an affordable option.� says Asia Product Manager, Michael Thurston.
