SoulTrips Partners Europamundo for Curated “Flex-scapes” to Europe, Latin America, Saudi Arabia and Japan

Singapore, February 23, 2024 – Travellers in Southeast Asia can unlock their wanderlust dreams with 600+ flexible travel itineraries. Understanding that every traveller is different, Singapore-based travel specialist SoulTrips will work with travel agencies in the region to sell itineraries allowing clients to choose where they want to start and stop on their tour. With coach tours operating every week, it is also possible to take a pause during the tour, and continue on afterwards with the next departure group, for a small additional fee.

SoulTrips was conceived in 2021 by Bhutan specialist Druk Asia as a new brand to deliver “new ways to travel” in a post-pandemic world. The firm works with travel agencies around the world to curate the holidays for the modern independent traveller who wants to design their itineraries according to their specific needs.

With a burgeoning demand from travellers seeking new destinations and visits to lesser-known sites, SoulTrips has partnered with Europamundo Vacations, a company of the JTB group, Asia's largest company of tourism and travel to introduce comprehensive international holiday packages that will be made available from selected travel agencies*. The ‘’flex-scape” itineraries make it easier for moving across multiple cities, and Europamundo coach tours prices do not include flight booking. Without a fixed flight departure, anyone seeking to extend their holiday after they finish their trip can request assistance for additional nights to be added, or switch midway to hop onto another Europamundo tour.

Europamundo is great for families with young children and worried about the logistics of getting around different cities and towns. Children under 3 years will enjoy a discount of 80% and will be entitled to a bus seat. For children up to 15 years old, discounts are available for group trips are: 3 to 8 years (40%) and 9 to 15 years (10%).
