Eco Tour Company Expands With New Asia Travel Division: Natural Habitat Adventures Launches Asia360

Posted on: Thursday, 9 April 2009, 12:30 CDT

BOULDER, Colo., April 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Award-winning eco tour company Natural Habitat Adventures has announced the expansion of its operation with a tour company devoted to Asia travel, Asia360 (http://www.asia360travel.com). Natural Habitat Adventures purchased pioneering Asia tour provider Snow Lion Expeditions and is re-launching the company under the Asia360 name "to reflect its focus on all of Asia and our commitment to all-encompassing, deeply rewarding travel experiences," said Natural Habitat Adventures founder and director Ben Bressler.

From sharing a cup of airag - fermented mare's milk - with a Mongolian nomad family to riding in a rickshaw through an Indian market to listening to chanting monks in a remote monastery in Bhutan, Natural Habitat Adventures' new Asia360 travel division will provide authentic cultural journeys and inspiring treks throughout the world's largest and most diverse continent. Staffed by Asia specialists with decades of field and operations experience and under the guiding vision of Asia360 president Anna Griswold, the company will immerse travelers in unique local features and insider secrets of its Asian destinations.

"We're excited to add Asia360 to our family of travel companies--and by the opportunity to offer our guests this fresh perspective on Asian adventure," Bressler said.

The new division's tours include a summer journey through one of the last unspoiled destinations on earth with "Naadam Festival in Genghis Khan's Mongolia," and a fall survey of the forts and castles of India's Raj and Mughal dynasties, "Rajashtan and the Pushkar Camel Fair." With year-round, small-group departures and private custom adventures, Asia360 focuses on providing the full spectrum of the Asia travel experience. Visit Asia360 at www.asia360travel.com.

Natural Habitat Adventures' family of travel companies includes Natural Habitat Adventures, Explorers' Corner, and Asia360. A member of Adventure Collection and exclusive Conservation Travel Provider to World Wildlife Fund, Natural Habitat Adventures' awards include a 2009 Best Adventure Travel Company ranking from National Geographic Adventure, 2008 World's Best Tour Operator rating from Travel + Leisure, and top tour operator ranking on Conde Nast Traveler's 2006 Green List.
