Canada’s oldest adventure tour operator consolidated

Wednesday, 07 Oct, 2010 0

Trek Escapes, which claims to be Canada’s longest established adventure tour operator, has been combined with Adventure Center, according to parent company TUI North America.
 

“The company’s name, with a new look and logo, will appear on signage and materials and a new web site that will go live later in the year with enhanced functionality and an expanded product portfolio,” says a press release.
 

Trek Escapes, a Canadian company, will join its American sister company, Adventure Center but will maintain its offices in Toronto, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver and will continue to serve clients through multiple channels — phone, email and walk-in, the company says.
 

Trek Escapes began operating in 1972 in Canada and offers more than 2,000 special experience holidays in more than 140 countries. “Holidays cater to all ages, fitness levels and budgets,” the company says.
 

Adventure Center is owned by TUI Travel PLC, one of the world’s largest travel conglomerates operating in about 180 countries.

Founded in 1976, Adventure Center offers more than 2,000 adventure trips on seven continents. The company’s offerings range from African safaris, riding a camel in Egypt, biking in Provence, walking in Tuscany, riding the Trans-Siberian railway or coming face-to-face with penguins in Antarctica.
