    Evolution Travel Collective (ETC) has announced its new partnership with Australian-based European touring specialist Albatross Tours.

    Having just celebrated its 5th birthday, ETC marked this occasion with the news of this new partnership. Albatross Tours are designed for Australians and New Zealanders, exclusively touring European destinations, with a strong emphasis on longer stays and character style hotels.

    Albatross Tours managing director Shelley Poten said: “Our average tour size is 18-22 with a maximum of 28, however our coaches are all first-class 45 seaters, so our customers enjoy an unparalleled amount of personal space and window views.

    “We see a partnership with Evolution Travel Collective and their BDMs as a key part of our sales strategy and a demonstration of our commitment to the trade as we continue to grow into the 2024 summer season and beyond.”

    “We enjoy collaborating with partners that share a passion for authentic experiences, and we look forward to working with Albatross Tours to promote their touring product to travel agents and advisors across Australia.”
