Abercrombie & Kent Joins OnLocation and Offers New Sales Opportunities for TRAVELSAVERS, NEST and Affluent Traveler Collection Affiliates
Oyster Bay, NY (July 16, 2024): As today’s travelers seek out personalized experiences wherever they venture, travel industry leader American Marketing Group is expanding its OnLocation Program to stay ahead of that demand. Global luxury travel brand Abercrombie & Kent has been accepted into the OnLocation Program to provide unique encounters to clients of agencies affiliated with TRAVELSAVERS, NEST and The Affluent Traveler Collection.
AMG’s OnLocation Program was created to meet growing traveler requests for bespoke experiences around the globe. A recent survey of advisors affiliated with AMG networks 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.
“The top in-country experts in our OnLocation Program partner with our advisors to design exceptional experiences that transform client dreams into reality,” said Nicole Mazza, AMG Chief Marketing Officer. “Their knowledge, insight and support give our agencies a powerful competitive edge. These are the sort of trips that only professional travel advisors can create thanks to our by-invitation-only global network.”
AMG 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 AMG networks with coverage for trending destinations such as Africa and Asia as well as popular Europe locales.
