Growth from Americas prompts Tour East’s launch of full-service office in LA

After recently appointing sales representation for both leisure and MICE in North America, Tour East is now opening a full-service travel industry support centre in Los Angeles, based within the JTB Americas Company building.

Speaking on this development, Chris Bailey – senior vice president said: “The Americas, as a source market, has become increasingly important to the Tour East Group and we are seeing growing demand for our destination management services which now span 14 countries across Asia-Pacific and especially as clients look for more expert knowledge and experiential-driven tailored travel programmes.”
