Globus Unveils Independent Tours in Asia

Golden Buddhas or limestone caves? Quiet afternoons in a Japanese garden or walk through a farming village? The clatter of rickshaw traffic or the silent wake of a fisherman’s boat? The glitzy skyscrapers of Dubai or the silk cotton trees of Angkor? Old, new, past and future blend together in harmony for “wow” moments galore in the legendary cities and lush landscapes of Asia on a Globus Independent tour! And in 2025, the company is unveiling 9 NEW Independent tours, from Bangkok to Bali and Abu Dhabi to Nepal.

“With Globus Independent tours, our guests are free to enjoy the many benefits of touring, untethered and unscheduled,” said Steve Born, chief marketing officer for the Globus family of brands. “Providing hand-picked hotel accommodations, hand-selected optional excursions and the services of a Local Host – an expert dedicated to ensuring the trip goes off without a hitch – this unique travel style helps guests to uncover the perfect ways to spend their days on vacation. Globus Independent tours invite travellers to simply travel better – with ease – as they explore destinations across the globe.”

Dim Sum & Then Some. Unveiling its largest menu of exotic destinations to date, Globus is inviting independent travellers to discover Asia – and more about themselves – with an “Independent City Stay” or “Independent Tour” in 2025. From Taj Mahal in India to the timeless temples of Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia; boat rides in Bangkok to beautiful views of Dubai from Burj Khalifa’s 124^th floor, Globus guests are invited to breathe-in adventure and “I”-time on vacation!

“Broken out into ‘Independent City Stays’ featuring some of Asia’s most spectacular cities and ‘Independent Tours’ offering travellers a larger swath of featured destinations and countries – no other international tour operator has the depth and breadth of travel styles Globus offers guests – including independently minded travellers,” added Born.

Personal “Pinch Me” Moments. Designed to help guests cure their curiosities and explore their passions, these Independent itineraries provide a robust list of hand-selected optional excursions to enhance their getaways as well as seamless extensions and destination add-ons to keep the adventure going. “For travellers who love Globus but want to venture further, enjoying the world their way, without the group, our Independent travel style ensures our guests enjoy ‘I’-time on vacation,” added Born.
