Due to the ongoing global impact of coronavirus (COVID-19) and with many international borders remaining closed for an extended period, Mr Biker Saigon has decided to suspend the majority of tours until at least 30 October 2020.

While this is extremely disappointing for all of us, the safety and security of our travellers, along with that of our staff and partners, has always been the most important factor.

If you were booked on a tour that has been suspended due to the pandemic, you will automatically receive a credit of 100% of monies paid (of your deposit or full payment) which can be redeemed as follows:

You can re-book a tour now for a future travel date before 30 September 2022.
You can hold on to your travel credit until you are ready to re-book on any future departure before 30 September 2022.
We apologize for the inconvenience and sincerely hope you will understand and support us during this unprecedented crisis. Mr Biker Saigon is a small company with a big heart and we are doing everything we can to work through this crisis and plan to start operating tours again as soon as we can. In the meantime, we thank you for your patience and understanding in these unprecedented times and are communicating with everyone booked on the impacted tours.

If you are booked on a tour that is due to depart from 1 November 2020, there are currently no changes to your trip, and it is currently scheduled to depart as planned. We are monitoring the situation closely and will notify you directly if your tour is affected.

If you want to cancel your booking, you can receive a credit for the amount paid to use on a new tour with a departure date before 30 September 2022. ....less

In the modern world, media also plays an extremely important role in creating awareness and building an appreciation towards the local culture and traditions.

To manage tourists’ flow and avoid compromising the environment and cultural assets, each tourism destination should identify an acceptable level of visitation. This also helps to prevent overcrowding and creates a better visitor experience.

Ultimately, we need to balance the pros and cons of tourism. With travelers seeking local and authentic indigenous and community-based cultural experiences, we should definitely prioritize preserving our cultures and maintaining authenticity, while celebrating the positive economic outcomes.

We should all begin to take an active role in conserving our tangible and intangible cultural assets. ....less

As countries gradually lift travel restrictions and tourism slowly restarts in many parts of the world, health must continue to be a priority and coordinated heath protocols that protect workers, communities and travellers, while supporting companies and workers, must be firmly in place.
Only through collective action and international cooperation will we be able to transform tourism, advance its contribution to the 2030 Agenda and its shift towards an inclusive and carbon neutral sector that harnesses innovation and digitalization, embraces local values and communities and creates decent job opportunities for all, leaving no one behind. We are stronger together. ....less

When a community welcomes you with warm smiles, you sample local cuisine, see an ancient historic site – you may not be the only one to do so – but you can ensure it is preserved and protected for future travellers and customs and people respected.

When you see a lagoon floating with garbage or a once beautiful landscape paved with concrete you must also realize that if the principles of sustainable tourism are not put into action, then each one of these destinations will lose their appeal, environmental beauty and ultimately, their profitability. ....less
