What sets it apart
Positions agents around a client “travel philosophy”; payment six to eight weeks before departure.
Who it suits
Not open to newcomers — the company’s stated position is “no — three years’ experience required”.
The company mixes models, so its fees and commission terms may not line up neatly with a straight commission split.
How customers’ money is protected
This matters to you as well as to your clients: it determines who is liable if a supplier or the company itself fails.
ABTA: Member — number not published. ABTA membership commits the company to ABTA’s code of conduct, requires it to protect customers’ money on holidays that do not include a flight, and gives customers a complaints and arbitration route.
ATOL: Held — licence number not published. An ATOL licence protects the money customers pay for package holidays that include a flight, and covers getting them home if the company fails.
ABTA and ATOL cover.
Ownership and background
The research source records the model as a self-described “luxury travel franchise” that operates as a host, which is why it is grouped here as a hybrid. Independent, with no parent company recorded.
