As we approach the end of the year, I am immensely proud of what we have achieved together. This has been a truly transformative period for Tour Partner Group – one defined by exceptional growth, deepened partnerships, and the unwavering commitment of our teams across all our destinations. It has also been a year in which we strengthened our focus on responsible travel, ensuring that the way we grow reflects our values and the expectations of our partners.
This year, we achieved more than double the transaction value across our core destinations in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Nordics. This performance demonstrates not only the resilience and appeal of our experiences, but also the depth of trust built with our clients and suppliers.
We were also delighted to welcome JacTravel and VOS (Vision of Scandinavia) into the wider Tour Partner Group portfolio. Their rich expertise, market-leading capabilities, and remarkable legacies have strengthened our foundations and significantly expanded our reach. JacTravel’s 50th anniversary, celebrated this October, stands as a testament to its enduring success and reputation in the industry.
With their arrival, we now proudly count nearly 500 dedicated destination experts across the Group. With local teams in Edinburgh, Dublin, London, and Copenhagen, supported by our hubs in Cluj and Palma, we have reinforced our ability to deliver tailored, personal service at scale.
Our partnerships remain at the heart of everything we do, deepening our collaboration with our partners. We have worked innovatively together to broaden appeal and enable us to bring even more travellers to the destinations we represent while supporting responsible practices along the way. Your dedication and shared ambition continue to inspire us. These trusted collaborations form the backbone of our success and underpin the excellent feedback we continue to receive from clients around the world. They also play an essential role in advancing our environmental and social ambitions, as we work together to promote responsible practices across the value chain.
Alongside our growth, we have taken meaningful steps to enhance the way we work. We continued to invest in our technology infrastructure, making it easier for our teams and partners to do business with us. We have also made steady progress in laying the groundwork for future sustainability initiatives, including completing carbon assessments that will inform our long-term approach. Looking ahead, our innovation journey is only accelerating, with AI-driven tools and solutions on the horizon to empower our people, streamline operations, and strengthen our competitive edge.
As we build momentum into the year ahead, we remain guided by our long-term vision: to become Europe’s leading DMC network, serving global B2B clients locally through strategic organic growth and acquisitions. ESG will remain a key pillar of this vision, shaping how we operate, how we collaborate with suppliers, and how we create positive impact for the destinations we represent. We enter the new year with confidence – bigger, stronger, and more connected, yet still firmly committed to the personal, client-focused approach that defines Tour Partner Group.
To our clients and suppliers, thank you for your continued trust, loyalty, and partnership. Your support inspires us to aim higher and deliver exceptional experiences across every one of our destinations.
On behalf of the entire team at Tour Partner Group, I extend my warmest wishes to you and your families this festive season. May the coming year bring success, fulfilment, and new horizons for us all.
Paul Maine
CEO, Tour Partner Group
