London, May 19, 2015 - Best at Travel has named Tourico Holidays as one of their preferred suppliers. The luxury tour operator made the decision to buy quotas from the American travel wholesaler earlier this year. “Tourico's comprehensive portfolio and choice of exclusive partnerships across the nation made them a great choice as we look to develop our business in the USA”, said Tom Dale, Best at Travel's Product Manager for North America. Best at Travel specializes in long haul destinations for the UK outbound market, which includes the United States.

Headquartered in Orlando, Florida, Tourico Holidays provides one of the most expansive ranges of offers for tour operators in the United States. Cities such as New York, Las Vegas, Miami, Orlando, and Chicago rank consistently among the top 10 bestsellers worldwide. Best at Travel is working from a list of one hundred hotels included in Tourico Holidays' "ExclusiveDeals" and "Preferred Partners" programs to create a wish list comprising 10 of the most popular hotels in 10 of the most beloved cities across America. This list features establishments like the Bentley and Edison Hotels in New York City, which are offered by Tourico Holidays as “ExclusiveDeals”, as well as the Wynn Las Vegas and Fontainebleau Miami Beach, two of Best at Travel's favorite Tourico Holidays properties.

Although they've been connected to the company since 2013, Best at Travel implemented a tender process at the start of the year, through which they chose to continue the partnership with Tourico. Since beginning this closer partnership with Tourico Holidays, sales have already increased by 47% (YTD, YOY). Our team is working very closely with theirs to make sure our product is mapped, matched, and live”, said Emma Weber, Tourico Holidays' Key Accounts Manager, UK and Ireland. “We're excited to have all content sorted so we can focus on other initiatives, such as training and marketing to foster even more growth than we have seen already.” All hotel mapping should be complete by mid-May.
