"At one time or another in our lives most of us wonder what it might be like to change our name, put the past behind us, and all start over. The people who formerly operated Utopia Tours have done just that. In April the company morphed into тАЬPurple Dragon Ltd.тАЭ While not quite as dramatic as sexual reassignment surgery, we are optimistic about a bright new future.

The end result of the unfortunate legal problems of two of our former senior management was that Utopia Tours was no longer able to continue in business. However, Douglas, one of the founding partners, has formed a new company called Purple Dragon that will follow in its footsteps. In addition to the same kinds of packages, Purple Dragon will expand what it offers, including the launch of several India programs and new China destinations. Douglas promises the same commitment to service and quality that Utopia Tours became well known for.

We are very excited about the opening of our two new satellite offices in Phuket and Siem Reap (Angkor Wat), Cambodia. The Phuket office is inside Club One Seven Boutique Hotel in Patong. Club One Seven's manager, Daniel See, is a well-known community leader and was Utopia ToursтАЩ Operations Manager in Phuket for the last year.

The Siem Reap office can be found at Figo, Siem ReapтАЩs second gay bar and restaurant, which opened last November. Another Douglas brainchild, Figo (www.figobar.com) also operates a two hectare organic vegetable garden and cut flower nursery on the outskirts of Siem Reap, which they have dubbed "Figo Farm."

Purple DragonтАЩs ambitious plans for the next two years include more Figo locations and continued diversification into hotels and other businesses in the hospitality industry. We are also considering applying their unique approach to tour packaging to new destinations outside of Asia."
