Escorted tour operator Travelsphere has introduced a new tiered rewards structure as part of its ‘travelmore’ loyalty programme, offering savings of up to £150. The updated scheme rewards guests with tiered discounts that increase based on the total number of days they have travelled with the brand, which can be issued to the travel agent who made the original booking. Customers are now placed into four tiers. Those who have travelled between one and 20 days qualify for Traveller status and receive £100 per person off future bookings.  Explorer status applies to those with 21 to 49 days travelled, offering £125 per person off.  Discoverer status applies to 50 to 99 days with £150 per person off, while Globetrotter status is awarded to those with 100 or more days travelled, offering £150 per person off as well as flexible travel amendments. Travel credits will be issued by email once travellers return home, either to customers or to the travel agent who made the original booking. The programme has also been applied retrospectively to customers who have travelled with Travelsphere since the start of 2021.  To mark the launch, eligible customers have been issued a credit matching the value of their tier, which must be redeemed by the end of August. Travelsphere Marketing Director Charlotte Field said: “We wanted to create a loyalty programme that genuinely rewards customers who choose Travelsphere time and time again, with benefits that grow alongside their travel experiences. That’s why the new and improved ‘travelmore’ is based on days travelled rather than points earned. “It recognises what really matters: the time travellers spend exploring new destinations, creating unforgettable memories and discovering more of the world with us. And this is just the beginning, as we have exciting plans for ‘travelmore’ in the future, with new benefits, rewards and experiences designed to make every journey more rewarding.”

Escorted tour operator Travelsphere has relaunched its Page & Moy brand, with tours beginning in autumn 2027. The ‘Page & Moy Collection’ has been designed to provide smaller-group, adult-only tours focusing on culture, authenticity, comfort and personal enrichment. Page & Moy was founded in Leicester in 1962 by Leon Page and Tony Moy, initially operating motor racing tours, then expanding into other sports travel, magazine-reader holidays, cultural tours and corporate travel. It became part of the Travelsphere group in 2004 and was closed as a brand in 2013. Travelsphere became part of the G Touring group in 2017. Bruce Poon Tip, owner of Travelsphere parent company G Touring, said: “Welcoming back the Page & Moy name is an important milestone for everyone connected to the Travelsphere family. The Page & Moy Collection has been created for travellers seeking a more intimate, immersive and comfortable touring experience, with smaller groups, premium accommodation and thoughtfully paced itineraries. “Every element has been carefully designed to encourage meaningful cultural connections while supporting local communities through our Travelsphere Cares and Planeterra partnerships, reflecting our belief that travel should not only create unforgettable memories but also have a positive impact on the destinations we visit." Itineraries in the collection will visit destinations such as Italy, Canada, India, Croatia and South Africa, and will run with a maximum of 24 guests. They will focus on leisurely exploration, with all hotel stays in four-star plus accommodation. Excursions will be included, and every tour will feature a visit to a community tourism project, to support the operator’s overarching ‘changing lives through travel’ ethos. Breakfast will be included as standard, with select other meals in hand-picked local eateries. Travelsphere Trade Sales Director Tom Morgan said: “The introduction of the Page & Moy Collection gives travel agents an exciting opportunity to offer clients a premium small-group touring experience. “The collection has been carefully designed for discerning travellers looking for immersive cultural experiences, a slower pace, premium accommodation and exceptional value, with all excursions included. Our first-hand feedback from the trade has demonstrated there is strong demand for this type of touring, and it’s particularly exciting to revive a name that has such strong links with the trade.” Pictured: Dubrovnik
