according to an Albatross statement, “encapsulates the brand’s ethos of serendipity, discovery and the joy of the unexpected”. Tony Flanagan, Magari Tours sales and product
director, will visit agencies with marketing support and digital assets. He has worked for Albatross for 18 years and built its tailor-made group trips brand Success Tours. Flanagan said: “Magari Tours is born out of a
passion for showcasing the authentic essence of Italy and providing travellers with unforgettable, off-the-

contract manager, added: “Magari Tours – part of a well-established international travel organisation – boasts a unique offering suited to the discerning traveller looking for a truly authentic Italian experience.” Ashley Quint, director and ‘chief travel maestro’ at
Berkhamsted agency TravelTime World, also helped develop the brand. The seven-night Puglia Unwrapped tour is based
in Alberobello, which is renowned for its trulli – small, round buildings. Prices start at £1,995, including flights. Highlights include visits to the Unesco-listed town
of Matera and Italy’s ‘Florence of the south’, Lecce. The seven-night Sardinia: Real & Rustic tour takes
in Cagliari, the Supramonte mountains and Sorgente Su Gologone springs. Prices start at £2,685, including flights.
