Working more closely with travel agents has been key to boosting the fortunes of Travelsphere and Just You – three years after the operators were sold to G Adventures founder Bruce Poon Tip amid the collapse of All Leisure Group.

G Adventures' Bruce Poon Tip said bookings were ‘returning’ for the adventure specialist

Since Travelsphere and Just You became part of G Touring, the two brands have doubled trade sales, with bookings up by 30% this year.


While G Adventures founder Bruce Poon Tip said the two brands “have done extremely well” since the acquisition in late 2016, he added: “I don’t think we’ve hit our stride yet.”


He said G Touring was set to further “disrupt” the escorted touring market, while capitalising on the “stability” created following last month’s general election, which has finally put Brexit “on a definitive path” following three years of turbulence.
