| Swan rejoins with TTW

THE newly relaunched Swan Hellenic (CW 24 Jul) has expressed its confidence in the “immense potential of the Australian market,” yesterday announcing the appointment of Travel The World (TTW) as a local preferred partner.

The announcement marks the rebirth of the previous partnership between the two, which existed over 10 years ago, before Swan Hellenic’s British parent company All Leisure Group collapsed (CW 05 Jan 2017).

Tasked with promoting and selling Swan Hellenic in Australia, TTW will work closely with agents across the country to help them introduce the cruise line to their knowledge base, offering product training, special offers and “industry-leading” commission.

Swan Hellenic Senior Vice President Global Sales and Marketing Alfredo Spadon welcomed TTW as a preferred partner, expressing his optimism for the opportunity that existed for the pair in Australia.

“Thanks to the incredible experience of TTW Group, we’ll be able to offer our guests the benefits of full sea-sky integration to carry them from their cities to our ships and back again around the world,” he said.

TTW Group Chairman Andrew Millmore said the partnership was well-timed, given the resurgence in interest for travel the company was beginning to witness.

“We will leverage our longstanding knowledge of Swan Hellenic, our passion, our strong industry relationships built over 40 years and wealth of travel experience to help our agent partners deliver truly bespoke expedition experiences to their clients,” he said.
