In Paris, for example, Travellanda offers a choice of 162 classic sightseeing tours and museum visits, 67 activities themed around cruising and outdoor adventures, and 45 themed around gastronomy, wine and nightlife.
More unusual pursuits include balloon rides, zip line excursions above forests, dune buggy rides through the desert, submarine safaris amongst coral reefs, sunset cruises, pub crawls, street food tasting tours, cooking and cocktail-making classes and even a visit to the Sumo Stable in Tokyo to see the sport’s stars close-up.
Head of sales and marketing Denise Atkinson said: "It’s the wonderful and unusual things one sees and does when travelling that make the journey memorable. So, I am delighted Travellanda is now able to help tour operators and travel agents put together a much more comprehensive and engaging travel experience for their clients. I am also confident that when they do so, they will simultaneously improve both customer satisfaction and revenue."
