The Travel Corporation (TTC) has announced the further evolution of its guided holiday offering from its category-leading brands, T rafalgar, Insight Vacations and Costsaver, to meet traveller demands in this post-COVID-19 world. Reflecting TTC’s commitment to bringing travel back, the operators will now offer holidaymakers and their loved ones the opportunity to travel together in a personal bubble, with their own private small group tour for 12 people or more, complete with a dedicated Travel Director and Driver, and every detail of the itinerary and aspect of the group’s wellbeing taken care of.

Available on the brands’ Autumn, Winter and Spring (AWS) itineraries, this new initiative gives total peace of mind for family and friend groups who can now enjoy the myriad benefits of a guided holiday while travelling as part of their very own private group.
