Inspired by a Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) report that showed international arrivals for Southeast Asia up 15 percent over last year, Travel Indochina, an Asian travel specialist, has highlighted its “Hot Spots.” The company, which offers Small Group Journeys to the region, has confirmed a 28 percent increase in travelers from North America this past year.

Travel Indochina’s top 10 Asia “Hot Spots” include 1. Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; 2. Hanoi, Vietnam; 3. Hoi An, Vietnam; 4. Halong Bay, Vietnam; 5. Mekong Delta, Vietnam; 6. Hue, Vietnam; 7. Siem Reap (Angkor Wat), Cambodia; 8. Phnom Penh, Cambodia; 9. Luang Prabang, Laos; and 10. Vientiane, Laos.

“Travel Indochina has more than 40 quality escorted itineraries which visit one or more of the top 10 Hot Spots in Southeast Asia,” said Mark Yacker, director of sales for Travel Indochina. “Whether you choose to tour one destination or several top Hot Spots, there is a Travel Indochina Small Group Journey perfectly suited to truly connect you with the local culture, food and people in your desired destination.” For travelers who wish to explore all 10 Hot Spots on one trip, the 19-day Indochina Explorer visits each of the destinations.
