Condor Travel celebrates its thirtieth anniversary……………..

South American destination management company and tour operator, Condor Travel, is celebrating its thirtieth birthday by expanding its tourism operations into Argentina, now marking the fifth Andean country where the company has a corporate base.

The move into Argentina also consolidates the award-winning company’s Andean tourism infrastructure, which includes Peru, Chile, Ecuador and Bolivia.

“The Condor Brand is all about providing unique travel experiences in Latin America that first starts with the travel inquiry and concludes with the product delivery.” “Our first-hand knowledge, expertise and network in Argentina will simply allow every traveller to secure the finest program, infrastructure and service in the marketplace,” confirms Sue Wallace, Director of Sydney-based Nemonic Concepts, which represents Condor Travel in Australia and New Zealand.

“Condor Travel’s sleek infrastructure not only comprises highly trained travel consultants who are connected to the most modern reservation systems in the world but also an array of innovative IT tour programs especially designed to showcase the wonders of the Andean region as well as monitor every client’s details on an interactive basis.”

With a team of 45 experienced professionals based in their Buenos Aires offices, Condor Travel is in the same way able to provide the Australasian market an entire corporate division devoted exclusively to meetings and incentives, imparting the most professional and comprehensive destination management operation in Argentina.

“Condor Travel is not simply a Tour Operator or Destination Management Company; the company is a complete chain of services committed to quality and an effective communications network capable of anticipating and carefully adjusting every detail for incentive travel programs or business meetings, right down to the selection of hotels, restaurants and special services, making every group incentive and event in the Andean region an unforgettable experience,” Ms. Wallace added.

Another fundamental Condor Travel service that focuses on absolute product delivery is every client receiving a “same day” acknowledgement of their request along with program descriptions and relative costs within 48 hours.

ARGENTINA: Condor Travel’s Argentina is a country of contrasting cultures and refinement as well as extraordinary beauty.

From the elegance and sophistication of Argentina’s capital, Buenos Aires – coined as ‘the Paris of South America”, the varied landscapes –Iguazu Falls, Patagonia, Perito Moreno Glacier and the jagged peaks of the Andes, to the country’s vibrant café society and its passionate European and indigenous culture, a unique experience awaits every Condor traveller.

“Imagine watching a couple dance the tango in a steamy Buenos Aires cafe.” “Walking the streets of Ushuaia, the world’s southern most town.”

“Enjoying a night at the opera.” “Sampling local wine in Mendoza”. “Trekking the snow-capped Andes or visiting the desert and canyons of northwest Argentina.”

“Even riding across windswept Patagonia with an Argentine cowboy – locally known as a Gaucho.” “The wealth of travel experiences in Argentina are endless along with the variety of accommodations, cuisine, first-class packages and guest services,” adds Ms. Wallace.

ABOUT CONDOR TRAVEL: Founded in 1977, Condor Travel offers a wide variety of travel programs throughout Peru, Chile, Argentina, Ecuador and Bolivia, including fixed departures, adventure programs, eco-tourism, customised special interest tours and destination management (specialising in cruising, meetings and incentives programs).

Condor Travel’s dedication has earned the company the highest levels of professional recognition.

Along with the company’s quality service certified ISO 9001, an achievement that is unique among receptive tourism companies in Peru, Condor Travel also received the prestigious “Crystal Award” for Most Outstanding Incentive Travel Program from Chicago-based Society of Incentive and Travel Executives (SITE). Condor Travel was the first destination management company in Latin America to be awarded this coveted prize.
