In a statement on its Facebook page directors of the Haltwhistle-based firm, Andy and Cath Sinclair, said the product and service offered by hotels and attractions post-Covid was often below their standards. 

“As the travel and hospitality industry struggle to recover from the results of Covid, we feel that often the product and service offered…does not match both our and your expectations therefore we have taken the difficult decision to end our years of touring.”

This will be the group’s last season operating coach tours, with the current 2022 Tynedale Group Travel brochure its last.

“Over the years we have met thousands of customers who have become friends and we have worked with some amazing suppliers and business colleagues,” the statement continued. 

“A special thank you to the staff who have joined us along the way as none of it would have been possible without them all.”

The pair also thanked their customers and driver Peter “who has covered thousands of miles over the past 15 years and we wish him many more miles in a happy retirement”.

The Tynedale brand and company will still be present on the road as the company grows in offering VIP travel to the North East’s sports teams and corporate market.

A million pound investment will see the delivery of new vehicles.
