Evolution Travel Collective (ETC) has partnered with 50 Degrees North and their latest brand, NORD Journeys.
“I am delighted to have the opportunity to partner with such a wonderful Destination specialist in 50 Degrees North,” said Pete Rawley, ceo & founder of Evolution Travel Collective. “Their expertise in the Scandinavian region is unsurpassed and we are incredibly excited to represent their two brands, 50 Degrees North & NORD Journeys, to the Australian and New Zealand trade.”
50 Degrees North, a true Scandinavian specialist, has been creating boutique holiday experiences for almost 10 years, primarily in the FIT and tailor-made travel sector. The reservations team is made up of over 90% Scandinavian ex-pats, offering regional expertise where it counts – on the phones to support travel agents.
With the recent announcement, the launch of their latest brand NORD Journeys, it extends their offering to include an extensive range of mid-level packages, self-drive and tour options for clients looking for a great option, at an affordable price, in Scandinavia, the Baltics & Russia.
Owned by Norwegian, Tietse Stelma, the company is focused on the expertise they can provide agents within Australia and New Zealand. “We are excited about partnering with Evolution Travel Collective as we grow our retail agent footprint in this market. Their team of experienced BDMs will provide us with an increased opportunity to showcase our product to agents at point of sale level, whilst still giving agents the chance to speak to a true Scandinavian expert through our Melbourne based reservation team. We think it’s the perfect combination.”
To coincide with the partnership NORD Journeys has launched a dedicated agent Facebook page, and encourages the travel agent community to join and keep up to date with the latest product information.
