How much has luxury travel changed post-pandemic? We look at a recent survey to find out.
media
Our media archive is dedicated to mentions of Experience Travel Group in the press, plus guest posts by authors, journalists and other media personalities. Here, we’ll also share reviews on books and TV programmes about our destinations and experiential travel topics. We’ll always tell it like it is based on our own experiences, so you don’t get any sugar-coated, inaccurate views!
We’re fortunate to have great relationships with intrepid media personnel who have a passion for travel in South and Southeast Asia (and they’re generally extremely well-travelled globally too!).ย In this archive, you’ll get their hotel reviews, stories, and opinions on destinations and what is going on within them, both positively and negatively and often how they compare to elsewhere.
