1. PRESENTATION

1.1. Description of our agency

“Hidden Asia” is a new travel agency which has been recently formed for over 2

years in Paris and has become well-known among the Senior travel-lovers in France

as a professional travel agency having specialized on operating unique tours towards

many beautiful obscure destinations in Asia, which are less busy among the other

industrialized tourist destinations and having plenty of natural and cultural surprises-

inherently endless attraction to the travellers, just like its name “Hidden Asia”.

The company is targeting at travellers who are French-speaking, 60 years old and

more belonging to upper-middle class and who are fond of Asia’s cultural discovery.

Those people with stable earnings and having plenty of time for their own interests,

discovering various unknown lands in the charming Asia. The company has aimed at

creating not only unforgettable experiences in these mysterious destinations but also

providing best services for the customers during their trip. Our network of partners

around Asia has done a great help of price decrease due to a cheaper price in

accommodation, transportation and other facilities. As a result, customers are able to

enjoy a less expensive package but with unchanged quality.

Generally, “Hidden Asia” popular destinations belong to China, Taiwan, Malaysia,

Japan, India and Vietnam but its most famous and unique journey must be a visit of

Fujian province, one of the most culturally and linguistically diverse provinces in

China, and Taiwan an Island with a lots of amazing sites to admire.

Our agreement:

1.2. The Target

1

Our trip is designed for French people with 60 years old or more, retired or not.

Their SPC is the upper middle class. This trip is designed for active young-elderly

people who want to discover Asia.

Who says that the senior citizen just want to take care of their vegetable

garden or cook jam? Nowadays our elderly people still are motivated to travel and

learn from new cultures, politics and countries. They are curious, open-minded and

wish to discover new things: landscapes, gastronomy, local lifestyles with new habits

and customs. They also wish to transmit and legate their knowledge to their

grandchildren or children through pictures or souvenirs from their trip.

How to reach our target? Of course we need to be aware that our target will

not necessarily have facilities with social media, Internet etc. So in order to reach

them we will make an advertisement campaign in the main cities where our target

live (i.e. La Rochelle, South of France…). We will also work closely with our partners

in different regions to promote our travel. We will promote specifically this trip - Fujian

and Taiwai – through a little revue; see in annexe, we will send it by post to our

client’s database and partners. We will also distribute this revue in locations

frequented by our target: supermarket, cultural stores, wellness center, restaurants,

and sports club as gymnastic, golf, aqua gym…

1.3. Concept of the Product

If you especially prefer discovering rural heritages than blocking yourself in the

modern crowded cities in Asia with all-arranged boring schedules, a visit of nostalgic

Fujian in China and Taiwan, would satisfy your thirst of indulging your mind in the air

of beautiful nature as long as experience its special cultural heritages.

This tour is designing to give a maximum of comfort to our 20 guests, that’s why

we choose to work mainly with 4* Hotels. In every city we visit, we rent a bus to

facilitate the different transfers and ride to special locations. It is important that our

clients can enjoy the journey without stress and without thinking one minute about

logistic.

The trip of 12 days and 9 nights would bring the 20 customers through different

special regions of Fujian and Taiwan such as Xiamen, Sun Moon Lake, Taipei, Wuyi.

Each of them, would promisingly provide the customers unforgettable memories of a

gentle rural beauty as well as a valuable chance to broaden their knowledge of a

diversified Fujian over its famous saying:

“if you drive five miles in Fujian the culture changes, and if you drive ten miles, the language does”.

The trip in Xiamen: everyday we will need a bus to arrange the group from

hotel to the attractions or between different transportations. But sometimes, we just

use it one or two times per day, if we pay the rent for the whole day, it is too

expensive. So we consult and have an agreement with the rental car. The day 4 we

will only use the bus from the hotel to the ferry. Day 5 we will use the bus from the

ferry to the railway station and day 8 we’ll use the bus from the railway station to the

airport, considering that, we reach an agreement that we use a half-day rental prices

instead of a whole day.

our guests, makes sure that all the trip work smoothly, that all the meeting points, bus

transfers and visits are respected. He definitely is in load of the logistic part of the trip

and insure the client’s comfort and wellness.

3.4 Local guide

We need the local guides in Sun Moon Lake and Ali Mountain. Which is mainly

owing to that the majority of population which lives in these two areas, is minority

nationality. The local guide speaks the languages of those different minorities and will

help the tour leader to speak with our local contact for the several visits. The local

guides are more familiar with the customers and behaviours, which can be more

convenient for us to travel in the area and be easier to understand the local culture.

Moreover he is a real asset for our tour as he has deep knowledge about the culture

and history of the region. The local guide will share the information with our guests.
