Classic Collection expands long-haul programme

The new destinations feature on Classic’s 24/7/365 agent-only booking portal as the operator broadens its scope of worldwide holidays from its existing coverage of the USA, Caribbean, UAE, Indian Ocean and Singapore.

The operator’s Classic Flavours - pre-bookable experiences and excursions - have been made available across the new destinations.

Si Morris-Green, Director B2B commented, ‘We are constantly reviewing our product via feedback from our agent partners and we’re delighted to be introducing additional destinations during peaks.’

In Thailand, Classic will be offering no fewer than 93 properties across five resorts, the portfolio having been expanded to include Bangkok, Hua Hin, Koh Samui and Pattaya alongside its existing programme to Phuket.

In Cape Town the operator has added no fewer than 38 properties across 11 areas within the city, stretching as far as Stellenbosch to the east and Muizenburg in the south.

Morris-Green added, ‘Our new destinations are popular on the UK market and fit perfectly with our existing mix of worldwide beach options.’

‘Long-haul is part of our growth strategy and we have recently invested in contact centre capacity, product knowledge and business hours thanks to our partnership with Travel Solutions Network.’
