The uniqueness and diversity of the social and cultural identity of Indochina are among the primary reasons that people travel to the region. Throughout history, travelers have variously described the region as being exotic, evocative, etc ... peculiar to their individual perception and experience. Not all descriptions have been complimentary and travelers may be tempted to impose the social and cultural values or behavioral norms of their home countries, adopt a negative or patronizing attitude, while others adapt with an unflappable sense of humor and revel in the experience.
Asiana Travel Mate recognizes the difficulties inherent in traveling through the Indochina region where social and cultural terms of reference may be so different and are committed to mediate and ensure the safety, comfort and enjoyment of our travelers. We are confident that our travelers will share the responsibility of maintaining the social and cultural integrity of the country and avoid compromising behavior. Besides the universal modes of friendly, polite and patient behavior, there are subtle social and cultural nuances peculiar to each country. In accordance with the law, Asiana Travel Mate does not condone indulgence in prostitution, illicit drugs, drunken escapades or violence. Ultimately, Asiana Travel Mate assumes responsibility to promote the positive aspects of social and cross cultural interactions while mitigating the negative aspects.
Note: Briefs are provided prior to travel, not as a set of behavioral rules but rather as insights into issues such as concepts of privacy, intimacy and personal space, gestures and body language, dressing, rituals, photography, beggars and hustlers, street children and amputees, shopping, bargaining, etc.
Besides the social and cultural interactions that take place in the course of travel, Asiana Travel Mate actively seeks collaboration with organizations and individuals to promote and enhance the social and cultural integrity of Indochina.
