For our trade partners, this latest collection provides even more choice across some of the world’s most popular destinations, as well as opportunities to introduce customers to lesser-explored regions. We’ve also continued to develop a broad mix of travel styles, from walking and wildlife to food and cultural experiences, so agents can match the right itinerary to a wide range of customer interests.” – Ben Ittensohn, Regional Director AUNZ, Explore Worldwide.
