Khiri has unveiled its new ground handler and educational programme service for Asia.
Khiri Campus takes over from GROUND Asia, which effectively closed due to the pandemic.
The rebranded service took 12 students from Australia on a 15-day culture-focused trip to Sri Lanka last month.
They also led a visit of 19 Australian college students on a 15-day trip to Java, Indonesia, focused on biotech, pharmacy and public healthcare.
“The new entity of Khiri Campus has the competitive advantage of retaining and building upon the knowledge, itineraries, and reputation of GROUND Asia,” said Khiri Group Director, Simon Drayton.
Over the last five years, GROUND Asia and new successor, Khiri Campus have implemented 237 projects for 4,036 students in six Asian countries.
“The new Khiri Campus starts with fully enhanced and updated itineraries and field learning options,” Drayton said.
“Khiri Campus journeys seek to strengthen leadership skills and learn first-hand about different cultural and educational experiences.”
For universities and colleges, Khiri Campus now offers business, health care, social science and natural science learning trips.
For schools there are programmes for service learning, outdoor adventures, cultural and environmental work.
It offers programmes in Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Laos.
“Early indications are that educational travel is picking up very strongly again,” Drayton added.
