How ASEV Travel Started

ASEV Travel was founded in 1995 with the initial goal of offering group tours mainly to the French market. From the beginning, the company focused on high-quality guided travel that would help travellers discover the cultural, historical, and natural richness of Southeast Asia in a more personalized and culturally sensitive way. At that time, the region was becoming increasingly popular, but there was still space for a company able to offer more tailored and meaningful travel services.

Growing Step by Step

In its early years, ASEV Travel progressively built its presence while developing the operational expertise required to organize journeys across a rapidly evolving region. This formative period helped shape the company’s character. Resilience, adaptability, and innovation became key elements of its foundation. While remaining a human-sized company, ASEV developed a solid structure and a clear direction that would guide its growth over the years including through the challenges of the COVID period.

What We Built Along the Way

From the start, ASEV Travel built its identity around service quality, respect for local cultures, and a commitment to building together with local communities. Its first destinations were Thailand and Laos, along with Mekong River cruises, which helped establish ASEV’s reputation for authentic, immersive travel experiences.
