History
2010
"Jysk" refers to a region of Denmark where our company took roots. Today we are much larger and to reflect our status as an international travel company, we changed our name on January 1 to Visit Beyond. We now have 9 offices worldwide and we continue to expand. And don't worry, all of our fantastic trips such as Lake House Adventure and SeaSafari are still available to you, but under a new name!
Thank you all for your support. Please take a moment to visit our new VisitBeyond Facebook page

1990's
Throughout the 1990s, Jysk Travel develops with new sales offices in Copenhagen and Aalborg, service centers in Kathmandu, Delhi, Bali and Venezuela.
1988
After a trip to the East, we touched upon the idea of having a service center in Asia. We subsequently founded the first office in Bangkok in 1988. Free use of the service center aroused enthusiasm among customers and the idea spread to Nepal, India and Bali.
1982
Jysk Travel founded in Aarhus. The first two owners / employees, Mogens and Birgitte quietly built a concept around individual travel where advice and good service are prioritized. Jysk Travel’s philosophy is to provide excellent independent travel experiences. “What we experience, we would like to share with others” says the Mogens and Birgitte Jacobsen.
