Ever wondered how Collette has remained at the top of its game for more than 100 years? They attribute this success to loyal guests who love their small-group tour style and global choice of destinations and valued travel agents who champion their product.
It takes a lot of know-how (106 years to be precise) plus a keen eye on current trends to ensure you’re always at the forefront of travel to deliver what travellers want.
Collette is the longest-running tour operator in North America, so their expertise and experience show.
From Jack Collette starting with one group travelling down the US East Coast in a jitney bus in 1918 to running tours in seven continents today, they’ve come a long way, literally.
Collette is rich in history and expertise but still stays curious at heart and that’s the real foundation of travel and connecting travellers to enriching experiences around the globe.
The Collette customer
Who is the Collette traveller? Collette has identified the distinct ways its travellers want to see and experience the world.
The Collette traveller wants to disconnect from devices and be present while on holiday, opening themselves up to connections with new friends and cultures.
They’re also open to exploring new experiences and embracing a more adventurous, curious and fun side while on holiday.
At the same time, whether they’re first-timers, flying solo or a seasoned traveller, customers want to relax with the peace of mind that comes on a guided tour where all the details are taken care of so they can simply show up and enjoy the ride.
That’s where Collette’s small-group Explorations touring style excels – offering a deeper, more immersive travel experience capped at 24 people per trip that offers travellers everything they love about travel with local experts to show them the way.
And with expertly planned tours to all seven continents, your clients will love seeing the world with Collette.
