Laos - EXO Travel

Although Laos is gradually gaining recognition as a destination for tourism and MICE, visitor numbers remain far lower than in neighbouring Thailand and Vietnam. Combined with its charming culture and pristine natural landscapes, this makes Laos one of Southeast Asia's best-kept secrets, with some remarkable possibilities for meetings, incentives and events.

For meetings and conferences, there is a growing choice of distinctive venues, while Laos's combination of fascinating culture, adventure and spectacular scenery provides an inspiring backdrop for incentive programmes. Many of the country's event settings also beautifully reflect its unique cultural heritage.

Luang Prabang: A UNESCO World Heritage city, Luang Prabang captivates with its serene atmosphere, traditional Lao culture and beautiful temples. Particularly suited to intimate MICE and incentive groups, the city offers memorable experiences including Mekong River cruises, visits to waterfalls and cultural activities in an extraordinary setting.

Vientiane: Laos's capital provides a relaxed and culturally immersive setting for meetings and corporate groups. With its Mekong riverside location, historic temples and growing selection of meeting venues, Vientiane offers a calm yet engaging backdrop for business events.

Northern Laos: With its rugged landscapes and rich cultural heritage, Northern Laos is ideal for groups seeking adventure and off-the-beaten-track experiences. Opportunities include trekking, visiting remote hill tribe villages and exploring some of the country's beautiful unspoilt landscapes.
