In a landmark event for the tourism industry, two prominent figures of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Mr. Rathnam R and Mr. Abdul Majeed, have joined forces to launch exclusive tour packages to Malaysia under their joint venture, AND ASIA & Co. The first set of packages was unveiled at a well-attended event at Lemon Tree on 23rd September 2024, aimed at providing Islanders with affordable international tour options following the recent announcement of launch of direct flights between Port Blair and Kuala Lumpur.
The company is offering two well-curated packages, catering specifically to travellers from the Islands. The four-night Malaysia package is priced at an attractive ₹43,999 if booked before 10th October 2024, while the five-night package is available for ₹51,999 with the same early booking deadline. Both packages cover essential travel inclusions such as round-trip flights with 20 kg of checked-in baggage, transfers & tours, accommodations in 4- and 5-star hotels, entry to major attractions, breakfast, and one major meal per day.
What sets these packages apart is the personal touch added by the founders themselves. Both Mr. Rathnam and Mr. Majeed spent nearly a month in Malaysia, personally visiting the destinations included in the itinerary. From carefully selecting hotels to taste-testing meals, their hands-on involvement ensures a high-quality experience for the Islanders.
The launch event drew a diverse crowd, including tour operators, travel agents, stakeholders from the tourism industry, business community representatives, and members of the media. The meticulous planning and effort invested by Mr. Rathnam and Mr. Majeed were widely praised by attendees, who lauded the duo for their commitment to providing Islanders with a seamless and memorable travel experience.
The announcement of Air Asia’s direct international flights between Port Blair and Kuala Lumpur has sparked new business opportunities for entrepreneurs in the region. AND ASIA & Co. is at the forefront of this development, leading the charge with their competitively priced tour packages.
Islanders can now book these exclusive packages through local ticketing agents across the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, paving the way for easy access to international tours at a price that’s hard to beat.
