Trafalgar

Uniworld has chartered two of its river ships to The Travel Corporation sister brand Trafalgar as it expands into river cruising.

The Travel Corporation (TTC) and its 18 brands including Uniworld Boutique River Cruises and Luxury Gold, have been acquired by US private equity firm Apollo Global Management Inc, for an undisclosed amount.

The Travel Corporation’s Global Chief Executive, Brett Tollman, has revealed his Top 3 Wanderlist travel experiences for 2022.

Global tourism industry visionary, entrepreneur and philanthropist Stanley S. Tollman, founder and chairman of The Travel Corporation (TTC), the highly successful, family-owned, international travel group encompassing more than 40 award-winning brands including Trafalgar, Insight Vacations, Contiki Holidays, AAT Kings, Adventure World Travel, Red Carnation Hotels and Uniworld Boutique River Cruises, and pioneer of the sustainable travel movement through the not-for-profit TreadRight Foundation, has died in the South of France following a battle with cancer. He was 91.

The Travel Corporation has announced it will be pausing all Australian group touring departures across its portfolio of brands until 1 December 2021. The decision comes in response to continued uncertainty surrounding domestic borders and travel limitations due to COVID-19.

The post-COVID-19 recovery phase has led to a surge in interest for private small group touring in Australia and New Zealand for AAT Kings Group Company, says the company’s CEO Matthew Cameron-Smith.

Travel Associates’ businesses in South Australian teamed up with Trafalgar and TV Chef Adam Swanson this month to create a local version of an Italian Culinary Adventure, hosting 35 clients to a tantalising taste of Italy.
