Diethelm Travel begun in 1957, when they started developing journeys of a lifetime experiences. Decades of stories created and inspired people from all over the world to come and discover a cornucopia of vibrant people, culture and a lifestyle that is both Asian and Western in origin, set amid vistas of verdant mountains and pristine beaches.
Skippered by captains with foresight set on the growth of the industry and the technology that came with it, company grew from their office in Thailand into today’s extensive network of 13 offices throughout Asia: Bhutan, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Laos, Malaysia, Maldives, Myanmar, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Philippines and Vietnam. It was not smooth sailing all the way through. We weathered through the turbulent seas of state coup d’etats, horrifying natural calamities and economic downtrends, but we managed to carry off a few laurels along the way.

I am confident that Diethelm Travel is well positioned to take advantage of the travel industry taking off again in 2022” said Stefan Römer.
