Following Travel Curators’ acquisition of Dynasty Travel from JTB
Asia Pacific late last year, Dynasty Travel has undergone a major
rebranding exercise that involves the revitalisation of its headquarters
in Singapore along with its range of travel offerings.
Believing that each travel customer journey begins from the moment
travellers start planning their trips, Dynasty Travel seeks to reshape
and enhance that experience as soon as potential clients step through
its doors. The renovation to its headquarters on 35 New Bridge Road is
designed to provide travel micro-moments for people who are exploring
destination options and ideas.
To help drive inspiration, Dynasty Travel will bring bite-sized
travel experiences to customers in its headquarters from the myriad of
destinations where the travel agency operates tours to. This may come in
the form of sampling teas cultivated by Ceylon tea estates in Sri
Lanka, Japanese traditional flower arrangement lessons, South African
wine tasting, or sampling Panamanian cuisine.
Additionally in its new curated itineraries, Dynasty Travel aims to
leave nothing behind but footprints by setting travellers up in
eco-friendly accommodations, supporting attractions that respect
wildlife and cutting down usage of paper with the use of the Dynasty
Travel app that replaces travel brochures.
Catherine Tioh, Dynasty Travel’s marketing lead, says that purposeful
and meaningful travel has seen a rise after the pandemic, especially
among millennial travellers. With this in mind, Dynasty Travel is
leveraging connections from its parent company to give travellers a
glimpse of the destination’s local community which is often not readily
available to the masses.
“Instead
of sea-to-plate dining experiences, travellers get to join local
fishermen at sea to see how they harvest the season’s freshest catch,
and this way, travellers get to learn a trade secret or two, and the
travel dollars go toward supporting these hardworking local businesses,”
Tioh explained.
Along with its rebranding, Dynasty Travel has unveiled one of its
most ambitious curated, experience-led trips to date: a 19-day
expedition to Antarctica, South Georgia and the Falkland Islands. In
November 2023, a chartered expedition ship will take travellers to the
South Shetland Islands and the Antarctica Peninsula, before sailing to
the Falkland Islands, making zodiac landings at penguin rookeries,
beaches and other scenic lookouts along the way.
This expedition and more of its offerings can be found on its
refreshed website that displays a new layout focusing on travel ideas
and inspirations.
Alternatively, travellers can use the new Dynasty Travel app that
features interactive travel itineraries with live updates and travelogue
features, and in-app chat with a concierge team for enquiries and
on-trip support.
