What's Happening?
Travellers Choice has reintegrated Au Revoir Travel & Cruise, one of its earliest members, back into its network. Au Revoir Travel & Cruise, led by owner and manager Samantha Gallaher, initially departed from Travellers Choice in 2010. Gallaher, who took full ownership of the business in 2017, has seen her customer base expand post-COVID, attracting younger clients. The decision to rejoin Travellers Choice was influenced by the group's shift from a one-size-fits-all membership package to a more flexible structure, offering independent agents a choice of three solutions. This flexibility allows Gallaher to select a membership package that suits her business needs, with the option to change tiers as those needs evolve. Additionally, the business support provided by Travellers Choice, particularly from business development manager Tim Bolton, facilitated a smooth transition back into the group.
