TTC Tour Brands is expanding its portfolio in Australia and New Zealand after observing significant demand for itineraries there.
The company, which described the demand as surging, said the updated collection aims to help travel advisors capitalizing on the interest Down Under as bookings are up 96% year over year. The new itineraries will be offered through Trafalgar and Costsaver.
"We've seen Australia and New Zealand generating real momentum with advisors right now and we want to make it even easier to capitalize on that demand," said Whitney Ramirez, senior vice president of sales. "With more options from Trafalgar and Costsaver and a dedicated selling guide, advisors have everything they need to confidently recommend the right trip for each traveler."
The growing demand is largely driven by North American travelers: Bookings from Americans are up 55% year over year, while Canadian bookings are up 100%, the company said, attributing this to a favorable exchange rate.
Trafalgar will add a 17-day New Zealand itinerary that includes visiting Stewart Island and Milford Sound, and a 15-day journey through the Outback, which TTC describes as "one of Australia's most remote and sought-after regions."
The budget-friendly Costsaver tours visit both Australia and New Zealand. These were designed to offer travelers accessible ways to visit the countries, the company said.
TTC Tour Brands will also release a dedicated selling guide for advisors.
