December next year will automatically go into a draw to win a land tour, with six trips up for grabs worth a combined AUD50,000 (£26,000). The company is also offering up to 15% off
more than 400 tour departures across the group’s AAT Kings and Inspiring Journeys brands next year. The offer is valid until December 15. AAT Kings Group – part of The Travel Corporation
(TTC) – has also released a new Aboriginal Culture & Australian Highlights escorted tour, priced from £4,688. The itinerary has been developed with Discover Aboriginal Experiences to identify and curate
Indigenous operators and experiences. Travelling from Melbourne to Cairns, it visits Uluru, the Great Barrier Reef and Sydney Opera House. The firm also has new Make Travel Matter experiences,
supported via TTC’s TreadRight Foundation. The Inspiring Journeys brand is offering cultural
eco-tours and guided forest walks from Whirinaki Forest Footsteps, operated by Kohutapu Lodge & Tribal Tours, as part of its Long White Cloud and The Endless Shores itineraries in New Zealand. Led by local Maori guides, the cultural walking
experience takes guests into the rainforest to learn about medicinal plants and native birds. Ben Hall, chief executive of AAT Kings, said:
“We are thrilled to be celebrating our 2024-25 season with this huge sale across most AAT Kings Group departures. Our UK trade partners are essential to our business.”

Balkan Holidays introduces Malta and northern Cyprus
THE QUEEN’S AWARDS FOR ENTERPRISE:
INTERNATIONAL TRADE 2020
Balkan Holidays will operate in Malta and northern Cyprus for the first time next summer. In Malta, the operator features
Valletta, St Julian’s, Melieha, Bugibba, Sliema and Gozo. In northern Cyprus, Kyrenia
and Famagusta are offered. The operator said the move into new destinations – its first

for eight years – was because they were a good fit for its customers. National sales manager Lynsey
Jones said: “Northern Cyprus is a wonderful holiday destination which is not offered by many tour operators, making it a major plus for us and our agent partners. In Malta, a week’s B&B at Hotel Santana, Qawra, based
on two adults, costs from £349, including flights. The destinations are in
addition to Balkan Holidays’ existing programme to Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia and Montenegro, and feature in the second edition of its main summer 2024 brochure.
