Trafalgar is introducing India, Sri Lanka and Laos as new countries to the 2017 brochure, which is released next week.

The operator is also adding nine new itineraries to the programme alongside an expanded range of four-day mini-stays in the region’s major cities, such as Hong Kong, Bangkok and Tokyo.

New tours include the 13-day Leisurely Rajasthan with Mumbai in India, 11-day Wonders of Sri Lanka and 11-day Secrets of Cambodia with Laos.

Trafalgar has also added a Leisurely Japan trip from Osaka to Hiroshima and a Classic China with Yangtze Cruise and Chengdu itinerary.

Jamie Loizou, Trafalgar UK’s head of marketing, said: “With the addition of three new destinations, new itineraries and mini-stays, Trafalgar has provided agents with all the tools needed to sell the full range of experiences on offer in Asia, whether it be a journey into colourful India or urban escape to Hong Kong.”
