Indochina and Beyond: Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia for French Tour Operators

DMC Connect is a Southeast Asia DMC for French tour operators and travel agents. If you build Indochina and wider Southeast Asia programmes, we are the destination management company (DMC) that runs them on the ground in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and beyond, and every request is answered with a tailored proposal within 24 hours.

Indochina and beyond for French operators

Four programme ideas, each with a real itinerary behind it.

• Vietnam from Hanoi to Saigon: our Vietnam Heritage Trail runs 8 days from Hanoi through Ha Long Bay and the central regions to Ho Chi Minh City. Our Vietnam guide describes Hanoi as a melting pot of French, Chinese and Southeast Asian cultures and Ho Chi Minh City as a city of French colonial buildings.
• Add Laos and Cambodia: a 4-day Luang Prabang itinerary, a 3-day Siem Reap itinerary and the 9-day Angkor Wonders & Koh Rong Paradise programme extend a Vietnam route across the Mekong region.
• Grand Indochina: our 2026 trends guide notes that the proposed ASEAN single-visa concept could revive demand for Grand Indochina itineraries, and that slow travel and rail connections are reshaping how routes are sold.
• A China extension: Classic China covers four cities in 10 days, and its Shanghai day includes a walk through the French Concession.

You can read more on our Thailand DMC page or in our guide to the top DMCs in Southeast Asia, and you can reach us on the contact page.

Working across the time difference

Bangkok is on UTC+7 all year and does not change its clocks. France is on UTC+1 in winter and UTC+2 in summer, so Bangkok is 6 hours ahead in winter and 5 hours ahead in summer. Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Bali are on UTC+8, one hour further ahead. A request sent in the European working day reaches our team in the Asian evening, and we reply with a tailored proposal within 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions

Can you build an Indochina circuit through Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia?

Yes. We have operations in all three countries, and our catalogue includes the Vietnam Heritage Trail, a 4-day Luang Prabang itinerary and Cambodia programmes such as Angkor Wonders & Koh Rong Paradise. We combine them to your brief.

Where can travellers see French colonial heritage on your programmes?

Our Vietnam guide describes Hanoi as a melting pot of French, Chinese and Southeast Asian cultures, and Ho Chi Minh City as a city of French colonial buildings. Classic China also includes a walk through the French Concession in Shanghai.

Do you sell to travellers directly?

No. DMC Connect works exclusively with travel agents, tour operators and corporate buyers, so your clients book through you.

How quickly will I receive a proposal?

A specialist contacts you within 24 hours of your request. You then receive a detailed, custom proposal with net-based pricing, we refine every detail with you, and we manage the bookings and provide full trip documentation.

What is the time difference between France and Hanoi?

Hanoi, like Bangkok, is on UTC+7 all year, so it is 6 hours ahead of France in winter and 5 hours ahead in summer. Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Beijing are one hour further ahead.
