At a pre-show V.I.P. reception, Lars Lofgren, president Sunquest and Holiday House declared this an important year for the Thomas Cook Group. It is the 200th anniversary of the birth of Thomas Cook, who first started organized excursions way back in 1841. Today, the company has brands in 18 markets, selling travel to 18 million passengers every year to 2,000 destinations. Encore CruiseEscapes welcomes Hurtigruten and AMAWATERWAYS to its line-up.
