TRAVELSAVERS Canada is expanding its OnLocation Program with the inclusion of global luxury travel brand Abercrombie & Kent (A&K).

The company will provide unique encounters to clients of agencies affiliated with TRAVELSAVERS Canada and The Affluent Traveller Collection.

The OnLocation Program was created to meet growing traveller requests for bespoke experiences around the globe.

A recent survey of advisors affiliated with TRAVELSAVERS Canada found that bucket-list travel, personalized experiences and authentic travel are among the top emerging trends.

OnLocation partners provide an extension of an advisor’s service with dedicated teams on the ground, offering immersive activities, 24-hour care for clients and peace of mind.

“Our OnLocation Program’s top in-country experts work closely with advisors to create exceptional experiences that exceed client expectations,” said Jane Clementino, senior vice-president and general manager of TRAVELSAVERS Canada. “Their expertise, insights, and service provide our agencies with a significant competitive advantage. These are the types of trips that only professional travel consultants can craft, thanks to our exclusive, invitation-only global network.”

TRAVELSAVERS Canada has welcomed 19 A&K destination management companies in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Australia.

These additions bring the OnLocation portfolio to 49 partners covering more than 100 countries and regions worldwide.

A&K will provide agencies affiliated with TRAVELSAVERS Canada with coverage for trending destinations such as Africa and Asia, as well as popular Europe locales.

“I am delighted that we have expanded our working relationship with The Affluent Traveller Collection and TRAVELSAVERS,” said Shawn Johnson, Abercrombie & Kent’s senior-vice president of sales for North America. “By adding Abercrombie & Kent’s unmatched network of DMCs to the OnLocation Program, travel advisors will have direct access to A&K’s local expertise and the ability to provide their clients with seamless service and security worldwide.”
