About Olive Tree Travel & Tours
Who We Are
Olive Tree Travel & Tours is a boutique Destination Management Company built by people who have spent their careers in Asia — not managing it from a distance, but living in it, working in it, and travelling it deeply.
With more than 30 years of combined experience across the travel industry, our founding team has spent decades designing programs, building supplier relationships, and learning the kind of destination knowledge that only comes from being on the ground. We know which guide makes a temple visit unforgettable. Which resort actually delivers on its promise. Which road to avoid in November.
Today we operate across Indonesia, Vietnam, and Hong Kong — supporting tour operators, corporate planners, travel agencies, and luxury travel advisors with journeys that are professionally managed and genuinely personal.
Local Teams. Real Presence. No Middlemen.
What sets Olive Tree apart isn't the destinations we cover — it's how we cover them. We have in-house teams on the ground in every destination we operate in. Not agents we call when something goes wrong. Our own people, who know the local suppliers, speak the language, and can solve a problem before it becomes one.
In selected destinations we also manage our own vehicle fleet, giving us greater control over transport quality, timing, and guest experience — without depending on third-party providers for one of travel's most critical touchpoints.
For travel partners who need a DMC they can genuinely rely on, this operational model makes all the difference.
What We Specialize In
Over 30 years, our team has built genuine expertise across every major travel segment — not just knowledge of the destinations, but the operational experience to deliver each type of program well.
MICE & Corporate Events
Conferences, incentive trips, leadership retreats, and large-scale conventions — from 10 delegates to 1,500+. We manage the full program, on the ground, in every destination.
Luxury & Tailor-Made Travel
Private villas, exclusive island retreats, bespoke experiences, and handpicked properties. Every luxury journey we design is built from scratch — never from a template.
Honeymoon & Romantic Travel
Asia has some of the world's most romantic settings, and we know exactly how to make them feel personal. From Bali cliff-edge dining to a private Ha Long Bay sunset cruise, we design moments couples remember for life.
Group Travel & Special Interest Programs
Cultural tours, special interest groups, pilgrimage travel, photography expeditions — we design around the group's shared purpose, not a generic route.
Adventure & Expedition Programs
4x4 off-road journeys, remote highland treks, river expeditions — for travellers who want Asia's lesser-known landscapes and are prepared to work a little to reach them.
A Strong Network Across Asia
A journey is only as good as the people making it happen on the ground. The hotel that genuinely looks after your client. The guide who goes beyond the script. The transport provider who's reliable at 5am.
Olive Tree has spent 30 years building and maintaining these relationships across Indonesia, Vietnam, and Hong Kong — hotels, resorts, transport companies, guides, venue operators, and specialist activity providers. We know them personally. We've worked with most of them for years. And we hold them to the same standards we hold ourselves.
This network also gives us the flexibility to handle complex programs — multi-country itineraries, combined destinations, large group movements — where the strength of local relationships directly determines the quality of the result.
Our Approach
Three principles guide the way we work — and the way we don't cut corners:
Authenticity
Travel should connect people with the real character of a destination — its landscapes, its culture, its people. We design experiences that go beyond the obvious and leave travellers with something they couldn't have found on their own.
Operational Reliability
The best itinerary in the world is only as good as its execution. We invest heavily in our local teams and supplier relationships precisely because we know that reliable operations are what protect our partners' reputations — and ours.
Long-Term Partnership
We're not interested in one-trip relationships. The travel partners and agencies we work best with are the ones who come back — because we've earned it. Trust is built slowly and worth protecting.
Looking Ahead
Asia is changing fast — new destinations opening up, new types of travellers, new expectations around authenticity and sustainability. We're paying attention to all of it.
Our ambition is straightforward: to be the DMC that travel professionals in Asia genuinely trust — not because we're the biggest, but because we consistently deliver what we promise and treat every program as if our name depends on it. Because it does.
If you're looking for a reliable Asia partner with local knowledge, real operational depth, and a team that picks up the phone — we'd like to hear from you.
Our Operating Philosophy
We believe a DMC is measured not by how beautiful the proposal looks, but by what happens when the group arrives, when a flight changes, when a restaurant is not suitable, when a guide needs briefing, or when a client asks for something at the last minute. Our work is to protect the partner's reputation on the ground.
