Mr Albert See (许炳辉)
ASA Holiday Managing Director / CEO / Founder
董事长/董事经理/ 创办人
By the early 90s, Mr. Albert See had journeyed on to establish another multinational travel company with Indonesian business tycoons to further develop Singapore and Malaysia markets travel to China on a full scale. This project took a short period of three years to create a premium company for travel business and leisure to the world especially china. In the development stage, the company had used intensive publicity of more than 30 million dollars on advertising and promotions for its branding.
This enabled the company a solid foundation with great potential for further expansion. During those days ASA Holidays were the first to organize various large sale travel fairs and give away grand draw prizes like our ‘Million-dollar Luxury Car draw’, till date with more than 10 Mercedes-Benz luxury saloons drawn. Among other initiatives, Mr. Albert see had also sponsored Chinese serial travel programs like “Jiang Shan Wan Li Xing” to publicize Singapore’s first Grand banquet held at great hall of the people with 1500 persons at every one time, a rare treat for customers to experience such as “National guest” would.
This also brought about multiple chartered flights to large cities in China that made China “available to all” not only in Singapore but Malaysia as well. Another memorable project which he holds dearly was the historic affair in 1997, the handover of Hong Kong to China. Once again ASA Holiday was the only travel agency to have the resources to lead more than thousand people to Hong Kong for the grand ceremony banquet to witness the handover to China.
It all started with a dream to make ‘Travel available to all’. Always on the look-out for new ways to allow joy to travel, and be a leader in differentiated tour programs. Came the next waves, experiencing and participating in global history worthy events for our customers. Mr. Albert See launched the ‘President China Tour’ to follow President Clinton’s footsteps on his historic visit to China. In Xi’an grand ‘Emperor Of flourish Tang Touring to Town Grand Ceremony’ was held, with more than a thousand participants. A joking remark was made by some of the tour participants: “You were really more terrific in comparison with the president.” Main leaders of Xi’an City Council Government also joined and witness the grand ceremony. The then Mayor of Xi’an City had made a reception to honor the main officers-in-charge of the travel group. He pointed at the reception: “It is a first for such organization of large scale travel groups visiting Xi’an at the same day.”
Among the last 50 years of travel, the peak was reached during early 1980s where our travel business has expanded globally. Mr. Albert See set up branches or companies in Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Seoul, New York, Hawaii, San Francisco, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Sydney, New Zealand etc., to let millions of tourists travel globally whilst getting travel services feel like home-service. The investment used for setting up of company and branding publicity in advertising and promotions were an estimate of several hundred millions of dollars. ASA Holidays is an extension and inheritance of the solid foundations accumulated over several decades of global travel business.
Entering into the 21 century, the main shareholders with no intention of continuing the business sold their shares to a Taiwanese. Being a small shareholder in this establishment, I have decided to relinquish my shares. Soon after the “Huan Wo Zhuangli Shanhe” through a turbulent period, and with all the success since I started my humble business pooling more than 5 million, Mr. Albert have decided to bring back a team of key executives with together more than 100 years of experience. We continued to establish the present Air Sino-Euro Associates Travel Pte Ltd, with strong belief that he will not only allow travel ‘available to all’ but at the same time inject a ‘joy to travel’ as well.
As travellers become more affluent and well-travelled, Mr. Albert See wanted our customers to be part of any history-worthy global events in the making. While keeping true to his dream of making ‘Travel available to all’ coupled with ‘joy to travel’ ASA Holiday has made these history-worthy global events affordable to the masses. Among these events were Beijing Olympic Games 2008, Shanghai World Exposition 2010, Taipei International Flora Exposition 2010 & the coming Xi’an Int’l Horticultural Expo 2011 set to open in April 2011. It has become a tradition for ASA Holiday to charter flights over the Chinese New Year Spring Festival yearly to celebrate with different cultures in our world. Some of ASA Holiday most notable destination would be Northern Harbin Ice & Snow, Guizhou, Yunnan and Taiwan.
Looking back Mr. Albert See realized he have been in the travel industry for half century. He has not only witness but personally participated in the vicissitudes of travel business in Singapore, Malaysia, and Southeast Asia etc. He was blessed with the opportunity to nurture a few start-up businesses and watch it successfully mature into ‘cash cows’. Reminiscing when he first started this dream with only five hundred dollars capital, although there were many challenges, there was also much joy, watching the expressions and happiness on our customers when they first touch snow, or first time sitting on a plane. These are precious moments money can’t buy and if he had to start all over again, he would not change a single thing. He shall not rest in his laurels and will continue to pursue that one dream ‘Travel made available to all’ and ‘Lifetime of Joy Travel’ with Air Sino-Euro Associates Travel simply known as ASA Holidays.

中欧旅游集团简介
许炳辉,在上世纪六十年代投身于旅游行业前后近五十年岁月,对旅游这行业可以说是不离不弃,始终坚守在行业的第一线,成为新加坡和马来西亚旅游业为一活跃迄的先驱者。六十年代前,新加坡的旅游业的经营对象,多局限在殖民地高官往来上任或述职之需,普罗大众旅游基本上是空白一片。许炳辉在一九六二年正式进入旅游行业,开始发展新加坡普罗大众旅游事业.到了六十年代中期,已把旅游业行程扩大到中南半岛和香港,当时的主要往来工具以船舶往中南半岛的越南、柬埔寨和香港.上世纪七十年代,公司的业务与行程已遍迹全世界,也成为当时亚洲规模最大的旅行社,分行遍布各大洲。
许氏可以说是新加坡和马来西亚多间大型著名旅行社的创始人,此処不再做赘述。时下的中欧旅游集团,以中欧航空旅游联盟有限公司为旗舰公司创建于二零零五年,迄今近十个年头,虽说在多家大型旅游公司中可谓之"小弟弟",然则以人员资历而论,正如该公司广告宣传口语;"累积百年功史,筹划超过五十年"。再一次以中欧航空旅游联盟有限公司 " 为平台,以期在旅游业中再创一片新的天地。现在的 " 中欧航旅集团 " 延续和继承了昔日累积的深厚基础,以及数十年的环球旅游经营沉淀,更汇集了许多旅游精英,他们高达百年的经验,再创旅游业又一辉煌.
许氏的旅游业经营理念,除了以精心策划的行程,和实惠的旅费以滿足广大旅游大众的需求外,更为重要的是为普通的普罗大众在旅游途中,创造更多的荣誉感,使广大普罗旅游大众在旅途中有备受大人物的待遇。所以许氏绝不放过每一个盛大历史事件,使旅客有机会亲历其境,成为历史的见证人,例如2008北京的奥运会;2010年上海世界博览会、同年至十一月开始的台北市国际花博会;2011年四月底揭幕的中国西安国际花卉园艺博览会;还有如山东省东平县的巨型水浒梁山影视基地和梁山水泊的落成,我都第一时间在现场出现,和当地的营銷人员洽谈,开发了东平的水泊湿地"八百里水泊"东平湖湿地公园游。使身居热带的旅客有机会观赏到无边无际的芦苇荡,在风吹动遍地芦苇犹若在一片绿色海洋中荡漾,以及中国古典文学名著<<水浒传>>所描述的水泊梁山。目睹小说中描绘的一百零八好汉聚集的水浒水寨,和梁山好汉聚义结盟的豪情壮志。当旅客游罢占地四百亩的水泊湿地后,拾级登上一百零八级石阶,登堂入室,大步迈入聚义堂,使旅客们在水泊梁山上任选一百零八好汉之一的衣装,粉墨登场,扮演英雄好汉,参加水浒英雄宴,当一天水浒英雄好汉.感受一下水浒好汉那种 " 大块吃肉,大碗喝酒 " 的豪情异志.唱一回<<好汉歌>>成为真正的英雄好汉,昨日豪情,今同感受,更享受难得一夕醉倒水泊之豪情。这些都是许氏別开生面的独家创意。因而东平县水泊梁山东平风景区 "108 好汉之地" 也被特別礼聘为 " 特邀顾问 " 。
