The Travel Corporation has opened up its DMC portfolio as a solution for third parties to white label and customise, providing a hassle-free and risk-free opportunity to a wider range of leisure and corporate travel businesses.
The Travel Corporation (TTC) – whose brands include AAT Kings, Trafalgar, Insight Vacations, Contiki, Adventure World and Uniworld Boutique River- is opening up its Destination Management Company (DMC) portfolio to other travel companies and businesses to white label and tailor, in response to opportunities made apparent during the pandemic.
Overseeing TTC’s DMC project is Gavin Tollman, President, TTC, who said “During the uncertainty of the pandemic, we spoke to a number of our partners who were looking for an operational solution with the quality, knowledge, infrastructure, consistency and financial resilience to deliver on the ground in a new post-pandemic world – but they were hitherto unaware of the depth and breadth of TTC’s Destination Management portfolio.”
“They were excited when they realised we could provide that solution across multiple destinations worldwide, affording them deeper access to the award-winning expertise and service for which our brands are well recognised.
“By launching a dedicated website and a series of new tools outlining the extent of our offering, and the financial strength that supports it, we hope to be able to present this hassle-free and risk-free opportunity to a wider range of leisure and corporate travel businesses,” Tollman concluded.
