Cosmos to abolish Archers to focus on group’s other brands
Cosmos is to axe Archers Holidays from the end of the year – just two years after the 24-year-old brand was introduced to agents. Sales director Janet Parton
said the company would focus on the other brands in the Globus portfolio: Cosmos, Avalon Waterways and Globus. Archers had been direct-sell
prior to being made available to agents in 2016. Set up in 1994 as Archers Direct, its product and prices are identical to Cosmos’s range of tours and cruises. Parton said there had been minimal interest from agents in Archers, but that it remained a “sizeable” business. The group will slowly introduce
its premium touring programme under sister brand Globus, previously sold only in overseas markets including the US and Australia. Up to now, Cosmos has offered Globus product as Cosmos Platinum tours. By 2020, all 179 Globus tours
will be on sale in the UK.
cosmos.co.uk
also includes two new hotels and offers £200 savings on holidays booked by June 30. Holidays start at £799 based on seven nights’ bed and breakfast at the two-star Sao Domingo’s in South Goa, including
flights and transfers.
