Classic Collection has added Dubai and Mexico to its range as it prepares to launch expanded city and worldwide programmes.
The operator, which was bought by the On the Beach Group for £20 million last August, now features nine hotels in Dubai and six on Mexico’s Riviera Maya.
Both destinations are on sale now, but an expanded cities programme, available from May 1, will feature a further six new destinations.
Mexico will be part of an expanded worldwide brochure due to be launched later in the year.
All the Dubai hotels are five-star and the range includes Jumeirah Beach and Atlantis The Palm.
The selection of six properties on the Riviera Maya includes the Belmond Maroma Resort & Spa, and the new adult-only TRS Coral, a member of Leading Hotels of the World and part of Palladium Hotel Group.
Classic Collection managing director Nick Munday said: “As part of a whole new era of growth at Classic Collection Holidays, we’ve redoubled our efforts in looking for new destinations and resorts to suit the changing travel needs of our loyal clientele, and to bring a broader range of destinations to the many supportive and receptive travel agents who are at the heart of our business.”
“We have been looking for the right opportunity to expand into new destinations for a while and we’re delighted to be featuring Dubai and Mexico, both destinations that are currently enjoying an upsurge in demand.”
Both new destinations are offered on a tailor-made basis.
The Dubai hotel selection is featured via Alpha Destination Management. Private transfers, full representative service and fast-track meet-and-greet on arrival at Dubai can also be arranged.
UK airport lounge passes are included with each Mexico booking, and full representation service and private resort transfers will be provided via the operator’s ground handling agent Destination Services.
Classic Collection Holidays offers seven nights’ all-inclusive at TRS Palladium Coral Hotel, Costa Mujeres from £1,797pp.
