KUALA LUMPUR-based inbound tour operator Asian Overland Services (AOS) Tours & Travel has ventured into the outbound travel segment with the launch of its first tour itinerary to Rwanda.
Named Meeting Gorillas in Rwanda, the five- and seven-day programme highlights gorilla spotting in the wild and starts from US$3200 for an all-inclusive package (excluding airfare).
Said AOS’ managing director Yap Sook Ling: “We are targeting matured travellers looking for a meaningful holiday beyond the standard tour programmes. These are travellers who have been to popular destinations, taken pictures of iconic structures and are now looking for something different.
“This tour also supports Rwanda’s efforts at gorilla conservation, for without tourism, these animals will be poached.”
AOS has plans to roll out more outbound programmes, including tours to see the Northern Lights in Norway and Finland, according to Yap.
