Topdeck is to begin operating tours in Asia in 2016, expanding its global presence to six continents.
Youth travel company Topdeck launched their new Asia brochure last night to an eager crowd of agents, media and other travel industry professionals.
Held at The Island in Sydney Harbour, the launch was MC’d by Australian-Vietnamese comedian Anh Do.
The new Asia programme will see the company running tours in Thailand, Japan, Indonesia, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Laos and Cambodia. Tours are set to begin from April next year.
According to Topdeck’s Global Brand Director, Sarah Clark, the decision to move into Asia was part of a bigger growth plan to meet the demands of the youth travel market and open up more of the world for 18-30 somethings.
“The results from our Global Youth Travel Survey saw more than 31,000 people respond with the common trend being that Asia was the next sought after destination.”

The new tours across Asia will be led by local experts, giving Topdeckers an authentic travel experience where they can taste local food, partake in local customs, and gain an insight into a new culture.
All Topdeck Asia tours will make use of 3-4 star hotels (including pools and rooftop bars) and country-specific transport (for example, bullet trains in Japan, tuk-tuks in Vietnam, and ferries in Thailand). The trips will also use modern air-conditioned coaches, ensuring that guests remain comfortable throughout the tour.
To celebrate it’s Asia launch, Topdeck is offering a 25 percent discount for all departures before 30 June 2016 and a 15 percent launch deal when paid in full by 15 January 2016 for departures 1 July 2016.
