For New Zealand travel agents, selling Asia presents an exciting yet sometimes a complex proposition. From navigating intricate internal transit networks to securing sought-after UNESCO entrance permits, organizing travel across Asia demands precise local expertise. Whether your clients are embarking on a long-haul multi-country expedition or making a brief one-day stopover in a major capital, such as a seamless, high-value layover tour in Beijing, having a trusted, responsive Destination Management Company behind the scenes is essential. Established in 1999, Odynovo Tours is an Asia-focused DMC specializing in private tailor-made travel and premium small-group tours.
Operating robust local offices across key hubs, including China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan, and Australia, Odynovo acts as an invisible, high-performing operational arm for international travel advisors. To understand the value Odynovo brings to the trade, one only needs to look at the execution of high-end, time-sensitive itineraries. Consider a client taking advantage of a single-day stopover in Beijing en route home from Europe. With only an eight-hour window to experience the Chinese capital, every minute counts, and there is zero margin for logistical error. Odynovo’s ground operations demonstrate why their service model is world-class. Private, air-conditioned transfers with dedicated local drivers ensure seamless movement between major hubs, hotel pick-ups, and airport transfers without client stress. Furthermore, visiting iconic monuments like the Forbidden City requires securing online entrance tickets that sell out days in advance due to strict daily visitor caps.
Odynovo’s local teams handle these high-stakes logistics seamlessly behind the scenes, ensuring smooth, priority access to Tiananmen Square and imperial palaces. Rather than generic group tours, Odynovo connects travellers with top-tier, English-speaking local guides, allowing clients to transition effortlessly from grand architectural marvels to authentic private rickshaw rides through historic hutongs and lakeside Shichahai, topped off with curated tableside dining experiences featuring traditional wood-fired Peking duck.
By handling intricate timing, private transport, and local permits with surgical precision, Odynovo turns what could be a stressful layover into a highlight of your client’s entire journey. While client experience is paramount, Odynovo’s commercial model is built specifically to protect, empower, and support the travel advisor. Working with Odynovo means having a dedicated local team to manage ground arrangements while you remain the primary, front-facing contact for your client. Odynovo operates discreetly in the background, keeping you continuously updated so you can deliver a seamless service under your agency’s brand. In today’s fast-moving market where delayed quotes mean lost bookings, Odynovo responds to inquiries and questions within 24 hours, and no later than 48 hours.
Furthermore, Odynovo operates on a net rate basis with travel agents, giving NZ advisors full commercial flexibility to set their own selling prices, manage their margins, and tailor packages to suit their agency’s revenue strategy. Instead of sourcing, vetting, and coordinating separate local operators across different borders, Odynovo allows you to manage multi-destination Asian journeys through one single DMC contact. Whether a client wants a simple week-long cultural immersion in Japan or a complex 80-day itinerary spanning China, Vietnam, Thailand, and South Korea, Odynovo handles the route development, hotel suggestions, transit, and logistics as a single, unified programme. Travel disruptions can happen at any time, but Odynovo provides round-the-clock, 24/7 operational support across their destinations. From pre-arrival planning to real-time, on-trip assistance via local emergency contacts, you and your clients can rest assured that expert help is always available on the ground.
Odynovo makes doing business simple and transparent for agents. A 30 percent deposit is required upon booking confirmation, with the remaining balance due no later than 45 days prior to departure. Advisors enjoy full flexibility to adjust hotel preferences, activity levels, and special interest requests, whether for family travel, luxury FIT, educational, or culinary tours. Whether your clients are looking for an immersive multi-week adventure through Asia or an unforgettable stopover in Beijing, Odynovo provides the local infrastructure, destination expertise, and commercial flexibility New Zealand travel trade professionals need to succeed.
