EXO Travel has added Malaysia to its portfolio with the opening of a local office, following its recent acquisition of Insight Borneo, a Malaysia-based DMC strong in incentive and group travel.
Located in Sabah, Kota Kinabalu, Exo Malaysia has already begun operations, having ramped up capacity over the preceding months. The Malaysian outpost will also manage small-scale operations in Singapore.
Malaysia presents the next logical step forward for Exo, filling the void between the South-east Asian continent and Indonesia, said the company in a press statement. The Bangkok-based DMC has a presence in eight countries, including Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Japan, China and Indonesia.
Olivier Colomes, CEO of Exo Travel, commented: “The diverse nature of Malaysia’s product and environment offers the perfect combination of attributes that our clients are looking for.
“Malaysia provides Exo opportunities to fulfill every niche market we operate in, namely tailor-made, adventure travel and MICE. It will also enable us to provide more combined trips with the neighboring countries we are already established in.”
Nicky Henderson has been appointed general manager of Exo Malaysia. She was formerly the director of product and product manager at Exo Travel, in addition to her experience as a tour guide in Malaysia.
