Express Travel Group has doubled in size in the past five years. Tom Manwaring predicts this growth will continue due to the success of its sub-brands.
Early in 2015, Orient Express Travel Group rebranded itself as Express Travel Group. By dropping the first word from its title, it was able to better represent its operations as a respected global travel organisation and reflect its broadened customer base. In the past, its core focus was on the Asian market, but today the business provides products and services to cater to a diverse range of consumers wanting to travel to destinations all over the world.
Under the Express banner are three retail travel brands. The first is Select Travel Group, whose origins lie in the ethnic Asian travel market comprising large volumes of passengers to Asia. More recently, these stores are focused on tours, cruises, and packages worldwide. All agents are multilingual and go by the slogan ‘We speak your language.'
