Cox & Kings Launches Competition for Travel Agents in Ireland

Cox & Kings, the luxury travel brand, has officially announced its entry into the Irish market, aiming to cater to culturally curious travelers seeking luxurious experiences. Speaking in an interview with Shane Cullen from ITTN, Victoria Houston, Agency Sales Manager for Abercrombie & Kent, emphasized that the company is committed to providing a blend of luxury and exploration in its itineraries.

The travel company offers a variety of options including small group tours, tailor-made experiences, and dedicated tours for solo travelers. These packages are designed to highlight must-see attractions while also allowing participants to explore less-traveled destinations. Cox & Kings is part of the Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group, which is also home to the more established Crystal brand in Ireland.

With the goal of establishing a strong presence in the Irish travel market, the group has secured approval from the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA). All three brands under the Abercrombie & Kent Group are now members of the Irish Travel Agents Association (ITAA), ensuring they adhere to industry standards and regulations.

Victoria Houston noted the importance of building relationships within the Irish market. To foster these connections, the Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group is actively participating in industry conferences, organizing events, and developing training programs. This initiative aims to equip travel agents with the necessary tools for seamless booking processes through their agent portal.

As part of its promotional strategy, Cox & Kings is launching a new European brochure and website. To celebrate this launch, the travel group is hosting a competition for travel agents. Any booking made before 31 October 2025 for departures in 2025 will qualify for two entries into the competition. Additionally, bookings made for departures in 2026 prior to the same date will earn one entry.
