Elegant Resorts unveils its first escorted tours in new brochure
Juliet Dennis
Elegant Resorts has brought out its third and final brochure of this year aſter a four-year gap. Te operator has decided to return to an annual
collection of brochures as it looks to work more closely with the trade. In recent years, it has only produced brochures on an ad hoc basis. It has also moved away from destination brochures
to themed product around the holiday experience. Te new Journeys + Experiences brochure for 2020 includes bespoke private and escorted tours and cruises. It features escorted tours for the first time and introduces East Africa, Russia and South America. In March, Elegant launched a Beach and Beyond
brochure and in May it produced a Families programme. Managing director Lisa Fitzell said: “Tis shows our commitment to the trade. We spent a lot of time talking

to agents and they said they wanted brochures back.” Fitzell said the 330-page Journeys programme
represented a “big step” away from Elegant’s traditional luxury beach product. “It really positions us as offering touring as well. We do create tailor-made departures, but have never really marketed them and we have never offered escorted touring,” she said. Te operator has partnered with National Geographic
to offer its expert-led tours in the programme. “It’s a great brand fit for us,” added Fitzell. Te product range is split into private tours; trekking
and adventures; tours with an expert; explore by rail trips; and expedition and luxury cruises. Itineraries range from searching for snow leopards
in the Himalayan valley to Russia by luxury rail on the Trans-Siberian Railway and spoting polar bears, walruses, whales and seals in the Arctic Islands.
