TRUTH..? WORDS..? or DREAM..?

SOMNIO has never claimed to be a 'Pioneer' or 'Leader' or 'The best' Medical Tour Agency in Australia..
We make NO claims to anything..without proof, how can you make those claims? 
Our clients and our referrals speak for themselves and we don't believe we need to 'make up' headlines to sell our product.. 
In our first year of actual trade we sent in access of 80 clients to Thailand. Our second year of trade sees that more than doubling.. No unlimited bank account, no over draft... Just hard work and dedication to our business with the support of our young families.
We are NOT the first Agency to send people overseas for Surgery, We are NOT the first Agency to do Group Tours... We are NOT the first Agency to hold Info Nights or Seminars.. No claims here..
And whilst we took an  idea.. we made it OUR OWN.. We changed it to suit OUR clients needs, we Listened to and SAW What people wanted from us... AND we were the FIRST SOMNIO Agency to  GIVE our undivided attention to our Clients needs,  and we are the FIRST SOMNIO Agency to not SELL the Holiday experience but focus on the procedure the recovery.
And this reflects in our followers... our referrals.
Companies that have been around for YEARS.. seem to think that they can fly under the radar by mimicking the things we do.. Flattery? Compliment? Stupidity? Laziness...?? Take your pick..
For us.. Frustration... BUT through it all we are the BIGGER people.. We just keep coming up with new ideas, new marketing campaigns, new relationships... And building on those that believe in us.. and .........

We are THE FIRST Agency to have a reporter come with us on this Group Tour... Yes.. a reporter traveling with us.. We didn't go chasing the coverage.. they contacted SOMNIO.. and other agencies... But they chose to come with SOMNIO.. so those big companies that mimic us... Shame Shame Shame... Be yourself and good things will come!

And we have asked for this NOT to be about SOMNIO but to be about the Journey, the procedure (serious procedures), the Surgeons, the Hospital and it Staff... Destination aside - find out WHY people are going to Thailand in Groups for their surgery... behind the scenes information..
So stay tuned and follow us to see how our NEW SOMNIO JOURNEY evolves....

SEXPO 2012

SEXPO 2012..

We were asked to participate in Sexpo Sydney this year in conjunction with Phuket International Hospital. I must admit we didn't JUMP at the chance as it can sometimes be hard to decide what trades are right for your company and also not wanting to stereo type yourselves. BUT our market is anywhere between 18-55yrs.. mostly female, therefore it did fit our demographic and we also thought being asked by the Hospital direct to do this with them was a bit of an honor and certainly one we shouldn't pass up.
So we are off to Sydney.. After doing so much travel around Nth QLD. It will be nice to travel South for a bit..

SEXPO is on the 15th - 18th March 2012 at the Sydney Convention Centre.

We are drawing the Trip for 2 Prize on the last night of the Expo..

So if you in Sydney make sure you head to booth #101 and place your name in the database to WIN!!
2 return flights to Phuket & 8 Nights at the Aspasia...

Hello!!
So we have been a little quiet on the home front lately with our blog... To be honest with you.. I am not sure if anyone else had problems with the change over with Google's polices etc.. It has been a little bit of a nightmare for us..
Anyway.. we are back and we have a lot to catch up on..
Over the last 6 months saw Somnio International Medical Holidays travel to:
Melbourne, Toowoomba, Rockhampton, Emerald, Moranbah, Mackay, Townsville, Mt Isa and Hervey Bay.
The response has been overwhelming and we loved seeing a good part of QLD..
The next 3 months see Somnio exhibiting at:
SEXPO Sydney, Brisbane Travel Xpo (with another of our amazing Hospitals - TBC),
Also see us... inThailand for our March Group Travel (Phuket International Hospital) AND hosting The Naked Truth Seminars at the Brisbane Mantra & Versace Gold Coast with Phuket Hospitals', International Services Manager - Mr Peter Davison.
Which means the last 6 and the next 3 months has and will be a CRAZY busy time for us trying to ensure we a spreading the SOMNIO and the Thailand Medical Holiday word across as much ground 2 people can cover...
Which leads me to the next exciting news.. We are happy to announce not 1 but 2 new staff members to the team one based in Nth QLD and one on the Gold Coast... Welcome ladies..
Keep watching this blog to see how things evolve over the coming months..

AND... Go to the Web to enter our comp..
WIN a trip for 2 to Phuket for 8 days!! Staying as the Aspasia Patong..
