Welcoming ICS Travel Group
We’re often asked by Travel Advisors, “How do you choose your members?” The delightful truth is more often than not, they find us.
Our relationship with a member begins well before they officially join our portfolio. Each partnership is the result of a thorough vetting process, especially when it comes to DMCs. With hotels, we focus on experience and service. But with DMCs, the stakes are higher and so is our scrutiny.
First, we ask: What value does this partner bring to our travel advisor community? For example, a DMC based solely in Bhutan may be interesting, but a DMC like ICS Travel Group which covers Bhutan and over 20 other countries across Asia, including Japan, Thailand, and Bali provides far more flexibility, value, and opportunity.
Second, and most importantly: Can they deliver what they promise? With hotels, a change can be made in minutes if something’s not right. But if a DMC misses a transfer, sends the wrong guide, or overpromises and underdelivers, it affects an entire trip. That’s why reliability, consistency, and trust are non-negotiable when we choose a DMC partner.
We’re proud to welcome ICS Travel Group to our Collection. Some of you may remember them from their early days as Indochina Services. Today, ICS brings over 30 years of expertise and a reputation for excellence in destinations across Asia, including: Myanmar, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Nepal, the Maldives, Japan, China, Taiwan, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Uzbekistan, Bhutan and more.
Whether through their own offices or trusted on-the-ground partners, ICS delivers customized, authentic journeys with seamless execution. Even better, you’ll have one dedicated contact to help plan multi-country itineraries across Asia making your job easier and your clients’ experience unforgettable.
We’re excited to introduce you to Paul and his team, your main points of contact at ICS. They are preferred partners of Virtuoso, Signature, Internova Select, and others with a stellar reputation built over decades in the industry.
