Escape Holidays Brings New Offering to New Zealand Travel Industry

Escape Holidays, a new niche wholesale travel company, has entered the New Zealand market, giving both travel consultants and consumers more choice for truly unique holiday experiences.

Backed by New Zealand’s largest travel retailer, Flight Centre Limited, Escape Holidays is able to offer sharper pricing to any New Zealand retail travel agent.

Flight Centre product general manager, Andrew Stark, said it is exciting to bring this unique offering to New Zealand.

“We saw an opportunity to bring a specialist long-haul wholesaler to the New Zealand market. Escape Holidays provides consultants and their clients a range of new and exciting travel options, some of which are not currently available in New Zealand.

“Flight Centre is a company that focuses on growth and while others in the travel industry may be looking to pull back during uncertain economic times, Flight Centre is continuing its investment,” said Mr Stark.

Escape Holidays provides an inspirational product offering including touring, sightseeing, special interest activities, car hire, rail travel and diverse accommodation options from bed and breakfasts to self-catering apartments, villas, cottages and castles.

“We believe our product offering is truly amazing and takes Kiwis well beyond the gateway cities.

“We look forward to sharing more about these exceptional products with the New Zealand travel industry at information evenings in October,” said Mr Stark.
