    1000 Mile Travel Group (1000MTG) has launched 1000 Mile Travel Vacations, its new leisure travel division in North America.

    Formerly known as Allure Travel the rebrand to 1000MTG Vacations signifies growth for the company and promises improved leisure travel booking experiences for 1000MTG’s network of travel advisors, their customers, and leisure travel suppliers.

    Nicola Veltman, co-founder and CEO of 1000MTG, commented: “The consolidation and rebranding of Allure Travel under 1000MTG exemplifies our commitment to being the most competitive travel advisor network for independent travel experts, and to delivering greater value and more seamless travel experiences for our customers.”

    The 1000 Mile Travel Vacations brand is supported by a network of Virtuoso travel professionals who craft travel experiences for leisure clients. With a presence in North America, 1000MTG Vacations remains the ultimate source of luxury travel, unparalleled expertise, and unwavering client support.

    As part of the CTM Group of global travel business, 1000MTG co-founder and CEO, Ben Ross, explained the value proposition of booking travel through the independent travel advisor network.

    “Under one brand, we’re able to negotiate even greater value from our consolidated supplier partnerships,” Ross said.

    “This in turn delivers exceptional value travel experiences, but equally important is the superior high-touch, personalised service that so many leisure travellers are looking for today.

    “And as part of the CTM Group, we’re also excited to extend our leisure travel advisors’ expertise to a broad range of corporate customers across North America, who are seeking a uniquely crafted vacation or leisure extension to their business trip.”

    In early December 1000MTG Vacations is launching a rebrand contest for leisure travel consumers in North America called ‘1000 Travel Hacks’, giving travel enthusiasts a chance to win an unforgettable travel experience including two premium economy roundtrip airfares on United Airlines anywhere on the UA network plus a three-night stay at any Waldorf Astoria or Conrad Hotels & Resorts property.

    1000MTG is now embarking on an exciting new chapter, driven by an ongoing commitment to delivering top-tier travel solutions and unforgettable travel experiences worldwide.
