The 2027 portfolios of Insight Vacations and Costsaver are being folded into the Trafalgar brand, creating “five travel categories and three value tiers,” the tour operator said/
The unified portfolio will go to market in the fourth quarter of this year, sometime before the Black Friday booking period.
Existing 2027 itinerary departures and pricing will remain the same.
Streamlining the Advisor Experience
“Bringing these experiences together under Trafalgar allows us to preserve what advisors and their clients value while removing layers that no longer make it easy to do business with us,” said Melissa DaSilva, Deputy CEO and chief sales officer of TTC Tour Brands.
“We want an advisor to be able to come to Trafalgar with a client and find the right way for them to travel, whether that means a premium tour, a small group, a river cruise or a completely different experience as their needs evolve,” she added.
Expanded Options and Structured Tiers
All told, the combined roster of tours will include upward of 600 itineraries throughout 75 countries and five travel styles: tours, small groups, river cruises, rail journeys and group sales, and three “value tiers:” saver, classic and premium.
“The goal isn't to give advisors less choice. It's to make more choice easier to navigate,” DaSilva said. “An advisor shouldn't have to navigate the complexity of how our business is organized behind the scenes to find the right vacation for their client.”
“We believe one trusted brand, with clearly defined ways to travel and value tiers, gives them a simpler way to match the right experience to the right traveler,” she added.
Upcoming Advisor Training
Travel advisors can learn more about the brands’ unification on the Travel Agent Portal at Your New Era with Trafalgar. E-learning events will be held on Sept. 2 and Sept. 17.
