By 1 April, 2025, the handover to the KT Group will start and the transition will continue through the end of the year. This strategic move not only bolsters Kuoni Tumlare’s position in North America but also expands the JTB Group’s global reach, establishing a robust presence as a Destination Management Company (DMC) in both Canada and the USA.
The rebranding initiative aims to deliver several key benefits to external stakeholders
Empower Global Sales: By merging TPI's DMC capabilities with KT's brand and sales network, clients will benefit from advanced tools, expanded product offerings, and comprehensive support designed to exceed their expectations.
Collaborate and Innovate: Leveraging the combined strengths of KT Canada, KT USA, and Kuoni Tumlare, the group will develop cutting-edge travel solutions, ensuring clients receive the most innovative and effective services.
Enhance Value for Stakeholders: Strengthening client and agent relationships through tailored solutions, bundled packages, and volume discounts, the group aims to provide the best possible value to its stakeholders.
Lead as a DMC in the USA and Canada: Delivering world-class destination management services tailored to the unique needs of the Canadian market, ensuring clients receive exceptional experiences.
This exciting transformation underscores Kuoni Tumlare’s commitment to delivering exceptional experiences worldwide. As a sister company of JTB Americas, Kuoni Tumlare will also continue to expand their collaboration with JTB Americas to further enhance their commercial capabilities together. The group looks forward to continued success and growth in North America and continued synergy with the JTB Americas group (JTB USA and Canada).
“This transition is a natural step in integrating TPI Global’s expertise with the resources and vision of Kuoni Tumlare,” said Joseph Green, Vice President Americas & Europe of Kuoni Tumlare. “By rebranding as Kuoni Tumlare Canada and Kuoni Tumlare USA, we’re not only strengthening our North American presence but also positioning ourselves as leaders in destination management in Canada and the United States.”
