TCS has integrated the Travcoa custom and private journeys and travel consultants under its Luxury Custom Travel division, with the merged business operating as TCS World Travel.

“We are thrilled to have Travcoa, with its 65-year legacy in travel expertise, become part of the TCS World Travel team,” said TCS World Travel president Shelley Cline.

“By adding the TCS touch to the itineraries, meaning up-leveled accommodations, all gratuities built in and more included meals, we can now offer increased value for guests.

"In addition, if guests would like to modify any of the itineraries or explore other destinations, we can customize a trip tailored to any destination, taste or preference.”

TCS World Travel will operate all current and future Travcoa journeys. It promises to “deliver the same outstanding customer service and tailor-made logistics that guests and travel agents have always received from Travcoa”.

The latest merger follows a similar deal last year when the escorted journeys side of Travcoa merged with TCS World Travel sister company Zegrahm Expeditions.
