Travel 2/4 finds the G.A.P
Travel2/4 is to overbrand a brochure for adventure travel operator G.A.P Adventures as part of a two year tie-up.
The agreement which begins next month will see the Travelport company overbrand G.A.P Adventures’ 2007-2008 Worldwide brochure. An initial print run of 60,000 copies is planned.
The programme features a range of small group adventures, safaris and expeditions across seven continents, including 100 new trips.
G.A.P Adventures organises trips for 40,000 travellers a year with group numbers averaging between 12 and 15. The company claims to providing authentic experiences, showing clients the real world in an intimate, sustainable fashion – with trips that appeal to its core 25-39 demographic as well as the lucrative 40+ and 50+ markets.
G.A.P. Adventures staff will be seconded to Travel 2/4’s tours department in Glasgow in the first quarter of 2007, providing intensive product training and additional expertise to cater for agents during the peak booking period.
Travel 2/4 managing director Maria Whiteman said: “Experience-led travel is a growing trend and we are delighted to be able to give travel agents the opportunity to grab their share of this growing market.
“For many clients a trip is less about where they go than the experiences they can have along the way. G.A.P Adventures’ tours are perfect for this new generation of travellers, and are a natural fit with our own worldwide product range and expertise.”
G.A.P Adventures CEO Bruce Poon Tip said: “After 15 years, the UK continues to be an important market for the G.A.P Adventures brand and is certainly one of our fastest growing.
“Strategically, we are pleased to form a new partnership with Travel 2 Travel 4, as the company is the UK’s market leader in tailor made holidays for the independent traveller and represents an ideal fit to distribute our worldwide products.”
