ETC welcomes Island Escapes as newest partner
Edited by Travel Weekly


    Evolution Travel Collective (ETC) has kicked off 2024 with a new partnership with South Pacific specialist and Virtuoso preferred partner Island Escapes.

    With over 20 years’ experience, Island Escapes has become popular for family holidays, multi-generational group travel, and exclusive private villa escapes in the South Pacific.

    Ingrid Berthelsen, managing director and co-founder of ETC, expressed enthusiasm about this strategic collaboration: “We are thrilled to embark on this exciting journey with Island Escapes and add to our growing portfolio of niche specialist product offering”.

    Adding “whilst historically it’s been small group touring that has formed the core of ETC’s first 5 years, this partnership adds to a growing range of collectives we are now developing to diversify our overall represented product offering.”

    Island Escapes’ national sales and marketing manager, Farid Hacene, echoed the sentiment: “Partnering with ETC aligns perfectly with our vision for growth. We are confident that leveraging ETC’s extensive network and expertise will help us further expand our presence in the Australian agency market.”

    Island Escapes Australian based reservations team can be contacted on 1300 305 870, or by emailing the team on info@islandescapes.com.au.
