In big news for the company, Entire Travel Group has announced it will enter the coach touring sector with the launch of Entire Group Journeys in Europe.
Entire Travel’s new product will offer a maximum 24 passengers in luxury coaches, four and five-star accommodation in “central” locations and trips created with exploration in mind, with two or three-night city stays.
The new European program will also deliver guaranteed departures, English-speaking-only guides and “slash” the average price-per-day for customers. Initial journeys will take in Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Morocco and the Greek Islands. But Entire says it is already planning to expand the program to include Croatia, Turkey, Jordan and Egypt.
“As part of a strategic alliance with one of Europe’s largest and most-respected tour operators, we have designed and delivered escorted group journeys that meet the specific needs of Australian travellers,” Entire Travel Group sales and marketing director Greg McCallum says.
“The result is a high-quality coach touring product, offered at exceptionally competitive prices and distributed exclusively through our new Entire Group Journeys division.”
Entire Group Journeys start from $276 per person per day, with sample trips including Northern Spain Journeys (10 days from $2,761 pp twin share), Landscapes of Spain and Moroccan Journeys (16 days from $4,715 pp twin share), Southern Spain & Barcelona Journeys (10days from $3,294 pp twin share) and Andalusia Journeys (eight days from $2,406 pp twin share).
How it works
McCallum says Entire Travel will showcase its Group Journeys in a new brochure in September. Before then, agents can quote and book Entire Group Journeys through the company’s website. Bookings will be supported by the company’s Peace of Mind Booking Plan.
“Quotes are delivered with travel agent branding, with day-by-day itinerary information and in full colour. We have also designed an agent toolkit which agents can use to promote our Group Journeys to their own database,” McCallum says.
“In addition, we have introduced an exclusive Entire Group Journeys phone-line and e-mail address for speed and efficiency when travel agents call us to book or make enquiries.”
To mark the launch, Entire Travel is offering a $500 per couple discount on any of its new European coach tours booked by 31 August 2023. Additionally, each booking on the website will receive a $100 Digital Mastercard.
Travel advisors will also benefit from exclusive departures for clients without financial commitment until six months prior to departure.
