We’re not your average travel company. We’re Destination Managers, specialists; our clients are mainly large corporations and travel partners around the world. We are, if you will, a travel agent’s travel agent.

We’re a nimble, ambitious mid-sized company that enjoys the backing of a large international network. We do not aim to be everything to everyone.

Our operations are fine-tuned to the needs of Incentive Tours, the discerning individual traveller, and the Special Interest Traveller.

We also specialise in the corner of the world that we know best, where we’re hands-on, where we can be sure of giving our customers the best: the Indian subcontinent. We cover the vast, diverse, intriguing, ever-vibrant expanse of the largest democracy and the second-fastest growing economy in the world, India; the rugged Himalayan terrain of still-mysterious Nepal; the lush tropical island paradise that inspired the word “serendipity,” Sri Lanka; and the charming mountain kingdom of Bhutan, the only country in the world to measure—and strive to improve—its citizens’ Gross National Happiness.

From day one, back in 1994, distant Frontiers has focused on the Incentive Travel business, selling India as a destination to the western corporate world. And that focus has helped the Company grow steadily. From an initial customer base in France, the Company now works with clients all over the world, with the backing of a large international network. Revenues have grown too. Recognition has also come from the Government of India to Distant Frontiers, having received the National Tourism Award for Excellence from the Ministry of Tourism.
