Perth-based travel company Walk into Luxury has expanded its program beyond Australia and New Zealand into Patagonia, South America.

APT has released its Japan and South Korea program for 2024, offering a collection of five diverse tours across the region focused on locally inspired cuisine, culture, and history. Signature Experiences include a visit to Naoshima Island, where guests will discover galleries, museums, and art installations on Japan’s one-of-a-kind Art Island. Another unique experience in Japan is a special night of entertainment with a private dinner and drinks hosted by a maiko or geisha in Kyoto.

White Desert has unveiled a new iconic guest experience – a momentous 21-day itinerary to all seven continents called White Desert World.

Captain’s Choice 2023 collection offers three Middle Eastern journeys; A Journey of the Gods, Ancient & Holy Lands and for the first time Desert Sands and Monuments of Saudi Arabia.

Soft adventure travel expert, Jerry Pilgrim, has been recruited by Tauck as its new National Account Manager for Queensland and Victoria.

Luxury Gold has witnessed a 150% jump in bookings to date since the beginning of 2022, the touring brand of The Travel Corporation has revealed. One in six Australians are planning to spend $10,000 on a holiday/travel this year, the touring brand said, based on findings released in conjunction with an inaugural study – The New Golden Age of Travel.

Abercrombie & Kent has released two new tailor-made 11-day itineraries that will unlock Greece and the spectacular Greek Islands. A&K has also expanded its portfolio of exclusive ‘Insider Access’ experiences in the destination.

Tauck has significantly bolstered its small group offering around the world, beefing up its number of special land tour departures in 2023 by over 35% compared to pre-pandemic levels.

Last December, luxury touring and cruise operator Tauck hosted four Australian travel advisors on its most recent Tauck Academy through Jordan. The frontline sellers explored Amman, Jerash, Mt Nebo, Madaba, Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea, alongside dozens of their counterpart travel advisors from the USA, Canada, and the UK.

Globus family of brands has launched its latest trade campaign, inviting agents to follow along with its ‘Globus Geni-us’, designed to help advisors have a magical selling season.

Tauck believes it is well-positioned to further build upon its success in the Australian market, with near-record pre-season bookings, and strong interest from past guests and new-to-Tauck travellers, following a dramatic rebound from COVID.

The Travel Corporation has confirmed the relaunch of its high-end small group journeys specialist, Luxury Gold. The revival of Luxury Gold follows a COVID pause and is accompanied with new branding built around “The New Golden Age of Travel”.
