Aurora Travel

What Aurora Travel does

Aurora Travel is a Vietnam-headquartered Destination Management Company (DMC) that designs and delivers privately guided tour packages across Southeast Asia and parts of East Asia. Founded circa 2007 and operating for nearly two decades, the company maintains six physical offices — Hanoi (headquarters), Bangkok, Siem Reap, Luang Prabang, Singapore, and Hong Kong — staffed by local experts with multi-language capabilities. Its product catalog is organized into eight tour styles (Luxury, Hand-Picked, Culture, Family, Honeymoon, Classic, Photography, and Bespoke), complemented by a MICE service line for corporate events, and covers destinations including Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea.

The company operates as a traditional service-based DMC with no proprietary technology platform, app, or AI capabilities disclosed. Distribution is built around a B2B channel-partner model: Aurora sells to international travel agents, tour operators, and OTAs through a dedicated Agent Login portal, supported by participation in major trade shows (ITB Berlin, WTM, FITUR, IFTM, ILTM) and a lead-capture newsletter. The firm is privately held with no disclosed parent entity, subsidiaries, or institutional funding rounds; a related entity, Autumn Travel, appears alongside Aurora in Vietnamese business registration records. Aurora's stated differentiators are local expertise, ~20 years of regional experience, a claimed 98% customer satisfaction rate, sustainable tourism practices, and curated partnerships with luxury accommodation providers such as Raya Collection.
