Simpson Travel has reportedly raised around £1.6 million following its recent share placing.
The specialist tour operator plans to develop international partnerships and use some of the funds raised for acquisitions as it looks for potential agents and tour operators to add to its portfolio.
Founder Graham Simpson said despite the firm’s 2021 season being "severely hampered by the absence of a transparent travel policy", this is an "exciting time".
"We continue to welcome clients in Greece, Mallorca, Italy, Corsica and France, and advance bookings for 2022 are particularly high," he added. "The outlook for travel remains bright and I am delighted that so many of our loyal clients have chosen to invest in our future."
Investors will be offered a range of travel benefits, including holiday discounts, complimentary stays in Simpson Hotels, complimentary weeks in properties on the Simpson Select List and priority access to airport lounges.
