Luxury travel specialist Abercrombie & Kent is opening an office in Madrid, its fifth office in Europe.

Executive vice-president destination management Jonathan White said the company had felt it important to have dedicated office in the city to manage the complex logistics of travel in the region.

"We have seen a dramatic increase in tailor made private travel to Spain and Portugal over the past two years," he said.

"Abercrombie & Kent is committed to expanding our network of more than 55 offices in 30 countries in order to provide the highest level of personalised service and attention to detail."

He said the company continues to look for opportunities to enter new markets, whether through acquisitions or setting up its own offices.

The team will be headed by A&K Spain & Portugal general manager Gloria Asensio, who brings more than 20 years of experience in the travel industry.

Meanwhile, Janelle Norman focuses on designing creative wine, gastronomy, history and culture tours, Ana Tovar works with agency partners and former diplomat Simon Butler-Madden heads up new product development.
