DMC announces global expansion
Destination management company, AC Group, has announced global expansion with new itineraries in France, Benelux and North America.
It expects the countries to generate around £11 million in sales in the next 12 months, with New York, Paris and Miami expected to be amongst the most popular destinations.
AC Group, which has three brands – AC Tours, bespoke luxury provider AC Luxe and B2B specialist AC Online – also anticipates further expansion in other markets in the coming year with increased demand for travel from growing markets such as Israel, the Far East and South East Asia.
The expansion comes after the opening of offices in Paris and New York in 2017, which served to bring French and American travellers into the UK and Ireland.
Joint CEO Malcolm Lindop said: "The programming of new destinations allows us to strengthen our relationships with existing partners, as well as reach new clientele.
"We are delighted to be working with organisations such as Travel Counsellors and Opportunity Travel to offer increasingly global group and bespoke travel solutions.
"Having experts in-market for both France and North America helps to ensure the new destinations will live up to the service and experience levels our travel industry partners expect from AC Group."
