THE Travel Corporation’s (TravCorp) Uniworld River Cruises has appointed Holiday Tours & Travel as its GSA in Malaysia since July 12.
“As the Malaysian GSA for Trafalgar and Contiki (also owned by TravCorp), we felt that Holiday Tours & Travel has done a remarkable job in expanding the market,” said Robin Yap, president, Asia, at TravCorp.
“For those who have been on regular coach tours and are ready for a different experience, luxury river cruising with Uniworld River Cruises is a natural extension.”
According to Yap, Uniworld’s eight- to 10-day river cruises in Central Europe are popular among Asians.
With Christmas and the Malaysian school holidays coming up, Thomas Chong, managing director of Holiday Tours & Travel, said that the agency will mainly be targeting families.
While Uniworld River Cruises is open to all retail agents in Malaysia, the company will be conducting training programmes with Holiday Tours & Travel for other agents in order to equip them with the appropriate knowledge and skills. Fam trips will also be organised.
