Salaün Holidays broadens its Asia program with a new brochure entirely devoted to the Silk Road routes.
The tour operator gathers a selection of itineraries across several Central Asian regions, from China to the ancient caravanserai towns of Uzbekistan, passing through Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan.
Historic cities, turquoise domes, deserts, steppes and mountain chains form the thread running through this new collection.
Some of the proposed itineraries are exclusive and unprecedented, with the aim of showing travelers the different facets of territories shaped by centuries of commercial and cultural exchanges.

Salaün Holidays asserts a historical expertise in Uzbekistan
This new brochure continues the group’s ongoing presence on the destination. “We have been programming Uzbekistan since 1999“, notes Michel Salaün, president of the eponymous group.
According to the executive, 12,600 travelers have discovered the country over the past 27 years thanks to the tour operator’s programming, which today positions itself as the leader on this destination.
“It is therefore appropriate to devote a special brochure to the Silk Road and its mythical itineraries“, says Michel Salaün. The brochure thus assembles guided tours, small-group journeys as well as tailor-made and on-demand offers.
The offering aims to meet different traveler profiles, whether they wish to follow an organized itinerary or build a personalized trip.
Salaün Holidays notably includes services comprising flights, accommodations, transfers, French-speaking guides and excursions.
