Three years after takeover, Dynasty Travel aims to offer slower, smarter, more sustainable travel
It seeks to promote trips that enable travellers to dive into culture, which can be less carbon-intensive than hopping from city to city, says its CEO
THREE years after acquiring Dynasty Travel, chief executive officer Teo Tianyi has been reinventing the long-established tour agency with a focus on slower, curated travel.
During this year’s travel fair season, Dynasty has literally set itself apart with its own event. Besides good deals, it aims to teach visitors about destinations and create excitement around travel – for instance, with a mask-changing or bian lian performance, to promote the Chinese region of Sichuan.
Teo, the founder of travel tech company Travel Curators, acquired Dynasty in late 2021. But he began overseeing day-to-day operations only last November, as the company’s transformation “wasn’t happening fast enough”.
