Your Tourism Partner was established in 2008 by Jean-Marc Flambert. He had seen how amazing hotels and tourism providers in mid and long haul destinations were NOT:
- Aware of how the UK travel market works, watch video
- Branding themselves and so missing out (or paying big fees to be part of chains or brand affiliations)
- Marketing themselves effectively or spending money on adverts that were not providing the best ROI
- Preparing well for events and shows and so were not maximising their ROI, watch video
- Embracing technology and changes in distribution
Do any of these ring true for you? If so, contact us today.
Unique Selling Propositions
We are a boutique agency who are commercially astute
We believe in having a few amazing clients and growing our business through them
We like to work on a mix of retainer plus commission so that we grow with you and we are incentivised to deliver
We are happy to start off with a short-term project to allow us to prove ourselves, but we want to ultimately have a long term relationship
We have delivered for destinations, DMC’s and hotels in the past and are happy to share a relevant case study
Tour operators and DMC's know us and respect us. Tour operators have been known to take on sale a product recommended by us, even without experiencing it themselves.
We don’t carry overheads. We engage with partners based on the need so that you don’t have to pay more than is needed to deliver to you
We have a strong black book of contacts and work closely with all sectors of the UK outbound travel trade. We are members of the Institute of Travel and Tourism and have worked closely with the key associations based on our customers’ needs.

The PR campaign to re-establish tourism to Haiti resulted in 8 tour operators starting to sell the country, and over US$ 2m worth of publicity.

He has helped hotels, DMC’s and an airline increase their brand and business from the UK market.
He has also led crisis recovery; from the tsunami in Sri Lanka, the murder of a British man on a boat in the Caribbean, a cruise ship excursion held at gun point, and a guest being electrocuted in a swimming pool.
