Preston Travel Group buys Peltours

Preston Travel Group has acquired Egypt specialist operator Peltours for an undisclosed sum.


Staff at Peltours were told about the acquisition of the operator, which is based in Finchley, North London, this week.


The Preston Travel group owns airline Flybe, UK and Channel Islands tour operation Preston Holidays and Cyprus and Greece specialist Amathus Holidays. It also owns homeworking firm Kwik Travel and bought Holiday City last year.


The deal will provide Preston with winter product, giving the company a year-round portfolio.


Preston Travel Group managing director Kevin Duckworth said: “We very much look forward to continuing the close working relationship with the travel trade.”


Peltours reinvented itself as an Egypt specialist after selling off its Israel division to direct-sell operator West End Travel.
