Express Travel Group and luxury travel company Abercrombie & Kent have entered a new preferred partnership agreement that will see A&K’s worldwide travel portfolio promoted through ETG’s agency member networks.
Effective from 1 January 2023, ETG will assist with the facilitation of A&K’s growth in the travel trade as the luxury operator builds its brand presence.
Meanwhile, ETG’s member networks – Independent Travel Group, Independent Travel Advisors, Select Travel Group, italktravel & cruise, and Alatus – will benefit from A&K’s product to support its luxury offering.
ETG Head of Product & Events Amber Kelly said it was an exciting time to partner with a well-established, world-leading luxury operator such as Abercrombie & Kent.
“A&K’s extensive portfolio, including its wholly owned collection of DMCs, cruise ships, luxury lodges, tented camps and hotels, offers the very pinnacle of experiential travel,” Ms Kelly said.
“A&K’s team, under the leadership of Deb Fox, MD Australia, and Susan Haberle, Head of Sales & Partnerships, is committed to supporting the travel industry more than ever before and ETG is proud to be working with such a renowned brand to help support their growth into the trade.”
A&K Managing Director Australia Debra Fox said: “We are beyond delighted to be partnering with Express Travel Group in 2023 and beyond.”
“As A&K embarks on an exciting journey building our brand presence, we truly value this partnership and we are confident ETG members will be thrilled with the standout product offering A&K brings to them and their clients.
“We look forward to supporting ETG to build their luxury business, welcoming their clients to enjoy many once-in-a-lifetime moments with A&K.”
