B2B FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions for Travel Partners

Can you customise itineraries for our clients?

Yes. We can adapt each program to your clients’ travel dates, preferred duration, entry and exit points, interests and overall Central Asia route.

Which entry and exit points can be used in Turkmenistan?

Common options include the Shavat border near Khiva, the Farab border near Bukhara and Ashgabat International Airport. We can help select the most practical combination based on the wider itinerary.

How far in advance should we request an LOI and confirm a program?

We recommend starting the LOI process as early as possible, ideally several weeks before arrival. Standard processing usually takes around two weeks, while urgent processing may be available for shorter lead times.

Can you coordinate Turkmenistan with our Uzbekistan or Central Asia itinerary?

Yes. We can align the Turkmenistan section with your wider regional itinerary, including suitable entry and exit points, border timing and connections with neighbouring destinations such as Uzbekistan.

How do B2B quotations and payments work?

We prepare B2B quotations based on the itinerary, group size, travel dates and requested services. Payment terms and available payment methods are confirmed individually for each booking or partner arrangement.
