To bolster, even further, their travel industry support services, a highly experienced Groups and Events Manager, Eliza Galeo, has recently been recruited. She is looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible, virtually or in person.
ST LUCIA
Whatever your requirements in this luscious and tranquil eastern Caribbean island paradise – whether it is luxury FIT, exclusive small groups, destination weddings, creative incentive travel or even individual tour operator representation – our multi award winning DMC, Barefoot Holidays has the complete answer. Barefoot Holidays, with Erwin Louisy at its helm, is, since 1988, St Lucia’s leading independently-owned incoming agency.
THAILAND
With the lifting of travel restrictions, Thailand – one of the UK market’s most popular long haul destinations – is well and truly “centre stage” again. So, no better time than now to extol the incoming benefits and advantages of the products and services, particularly for upscale travel arrangements, of Easia Travel
Established in 2000, totally B2B Easia Travel has for long been one of South East Asia’s most dynamic and creative DMCs. Its three main brands, “Easia Exclusive”, “Easia Active” and “Easia Incentive” have become universally acknowledged for their imagination and creativity.
Although our partner DMC is also expert in, and fully operational throughout, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, we, at Supereps, are initially focusing our efforts on THAILAND where the DMC’s luxury brand, Easia Exclusive, is a perfect fit for a selective number of UK’s top end tour operators with its large range of bespoke luxury DMC products (including butler services, fast track VIP privileges, private jets, luxury cars and more) plus its strong links to Thailand’s top hotels and tourism and transportation providers.
BALKANS
With many would-be travellers still recovering from the emotional impact of Covid and reluctant to venture too far from home base, the southern Balkans has much to offer including, but not limited to: spectacular scenery (particularly mountains and lakes), warm sunshine, short cruises, art, culture, history, religion, fine food and wine, reasonable prices and much, much, more.
Featuring numerous country destinations – and with on-site services in 10 of them – the entire region of the southern Balkans region becomes easily accessible via our valued DMC partner, MacSun Travel, the area’s most comprehensive and experienced incoming agency. Full incoming and touring services (including guaranteed seat-in-coach) are operated throughout this vast area – in: Albania, Bosnia/Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Kosovo, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia.

A very high quality destination. Positioned at the very tip of the Arabian Peninsula, the Sultanate of Oman has everything and more to satisfy even the most discriminating visitor – from relaxing and tranquil getaways to extreme adventure: luxury hotels and desert camps, centuries of history, culture, good food, relaxing spas and, above all, the hospitable and welcoming Omani people.
The ideal DMC partner to maximise “the experience of a lifetime” is Bahwan Tourism LLC, Oman’s leading and most experienced Destination Management Company and part of the Suhail Bahwan Group, the largest business entity in the Sultanate. In keeping with its status, Bahwan is comprehensively equipped to provide incoming clients with the most comprehensive and modern facilities (luxury automobiles, modern air-conditioned coaches, multi lingual guides, etc.) and the most knowledgeable and experienced travel designers available. Luxury leisure travel and upscale incentives are particular specialities.
SOUTH AMERICA
A visit to any of South America’s plethora of stunning destinations is always a “special” occasion. But, under the wings of highly innovative Pure!
