4th May 2015 Dubai: Elegant Resorts, a specialist luxury tour operator, originally from Chester in the UK, is delighted to announce they will be launching in the GCC market later this month and opening an office in Dubai later this year.
Al Tayyar Travel Group (ATG) obtained the Thomas Cook owned luxury tour operator, Elegant Resorts for SAR 88 million (14.3 million pounds) in February 2014. Having launched 27 years ago in the UK, Elegant Resorts is devoted to luxury travel and, as experts in the field of tailor-making luxury holidays, is committed to excellence. The acquisition represents a positive step forward in favour of Al Tayyar Group, taking into consideration that Elegant Resorts is a pioneering company in UK in the field of executing tour packages as well as outstanding holiday programs worldwide.
Managing Director, Michelle Sephton is thrilled about the expansion into this market and says;
“Having been an integral part of the growth of the Elegant Resorts brand over the past 22 years, I am extremely excited to expand into the GCC region and hopefully impress nationals and ex-patriots alike with our unrivalled luxury offering. We will endeavour to expand our strong position in the luxury market by staying true to our roots and providing trustworthy information and service, allowing our clients to enjoy their luxury holidays with confidence”
Renowned for excellence, Elegant Resorts’ service starts from the moment their client registers on their website or calls one of their Travel Consultants – they prefer to speak to their clients so that they can discover more about the type of luxury holiday they’re looking for, including their preferred airline, transfer options, room categories and the kind of facilities they require (a spa, children’s club, fitness centre or golf course, for example), whether they want direct access to a beach, and the kind of excursions they might want to participate in whilst they’re away. This means that 100% of their bookings are made via a personal touch and never online.
Furthermore, the long-term relationships they enjoy with a select group of hotels, airlines and in-resort partners means that they can provide their clients with exceptional offers, adding true value to their luxury holiday.
