Group Travel with Travel the World

Due to the additional logistics and complexities of large group bookings, including the repercussions and penalties incurred in case of a minor error, many suppliers and agencies can at times find it challenging to maximise the group opportunity. As a result, we are implementing a niche opportunity to help our travel agency partners expand their services and grow new income streams by managing the logistics of Group Travel on their behalf.

Our goal is to fill the gap in the industry by helping agents, cruise lines and suppliers who lack the resources to cope with the complex demands of group itineraries. Our specialist team understands the diverse needs of every group, and will use their decades of expertise to create unique itineraries and packages for our partners to offer to their customers.

Whether creating a dedicated group from an extensive range of suppliers or choosing from pre-allocated group inventory with hand-crafted itineraries, our team will manage the complexities to ensure both our agency partners and their clients benefit from our deep experience.
