CroisiEurope


Kuoni vient d’éditer plusieurs brochures dédiées à une destination.

La dernière sortie est consacrée au Japon. Le voyagiste propose plusieurs façons de découvrir l’archipel : circuits accompagnés, voyages individuels, excursions et expériences culturelles ou gastronomiques.

Deux circuits accompagnés sont mis en avant. « Paisible parenthèse japonaise », dans la gamme Essentiel, relie notamment Tokyo, le lac Kawaguchiko, Kyoto, Nara, Hiroshima et Miyajima. « Impressions nippones », dans la gamme Mythique, se déroule en petit groupe de 6 à 12 participants et comprend plusieurs expériences, dont une initiation à la feuille d’or, un atelier autour du matcha et une découverte de l’univers des samouraïs et des ninjas.

L’offre individuelle permet de voyager à la date souhaitée avec un itinéraire organisé. Les principaux trajets en train et les hébergements sont réservés, avec une assistance francophone 7 jours sur 7.


Japon : des itinéraires thématiques, des escapades combinables…

La brochure propose également plusieurs itinéraires thématiques autour de Tokyo et Kyoto, de la gastronomie, des châteaux et jardins, d’Hiroshima et Miyajima, des Alpes japonaises ou de la côte de la mer du Japon.

Kuoni met notamment en avant des régions moins fréquentées avec « Un autre visage de l’archipel », qui conduit vers Kinosaki Onsen, les dunes de Tottori, Matsue, Okayama et Kurashiki. « Des montagnes aux cités impériales nippones » relie quant à lui Kanazawa, Shirakawa-go et Takayama à Kyoto et Tokyo.

L’une des particularités de cette programmation repose sur huit escapades combinables, permettant de construire un itinéraire selon les envies, les dates et le niveau de confort du voyageur.

Les propositions comprennent notamment le mont Fuji et la vallée d’Owakudani, le lac Kawaguchiko, Kyoto et Tokyo, le mont Koya, la route des châteaux, Hiroshima et Miyajima, la mer du Japon ou encore les Alpes japonaises.

Kuoni prend en charge l’organisation des liaisons entre les différentes étapes et propose les vols au départ de la France selon les dates et préférences des clients.

La programmation est complétée par des excursions et expériences réservables avant le départ : atelier sushi, dégustation de saké, cérémonie du thé, visite gourmande d’Osaka, mais aussi découvertes de Nikko, Kamakura et Nara.

Pour accompagner le lancement de cette brochure, Kuoni propose enfin une offre privilège de 500 € par dossier, pour toute réservation effectuée du 1er octobre au 15 novembre 2026, sur les voyages Kuoni au Japon de cinq nuits minimum. L’offre n’est pas rétroactive.


Une brochure Egypte 2027 et une édition spéciale consacrée à l’île Maurice et Rodrigues

Parmi les nouveautés figure « L’Égypte, l’appel du désert », un circuit consacré aux déserts Blanc et Noir et à leurs oasis.

Autre opération de rentrée : une édition spéciale consacrée à l’île Maurice et Rodrigues, avec une offre de 300 € de réduction par dossier pour toute réservation effectuée jusqu’au 31 octobre 2026, sur une large sélection d’hôtels.

La brochure met notamment en avant Heritage Le Telfair Golf & Wellness Resort, LUX* Belle Mare, Constance Belle Mare Plage, The Westin Turtle Bay Resort & Spa Mauritius, La Pirogue et Zilwa Attitude.

Les sélections couvrent notamment les séjours tout compris, les voyages en famille, les lunes de miel, les établissements adults-only, le golf et les spas.

Enfin, Kuoni rappelle que jusqu’au 17 octobre 2026, chaque réservation effectuée sur les brochures du Groupe Kuoni France permet aux agents de voyages de bénéficier d’un chèque-cadeau de 50 € et de participer à un tirage au sort mettant en jeu sept voyages.

Gonzague de Gélis (Kuoni): “Our 2027 Portfolio Is Up From Last Year” [ABO]

CroisiEurope


TourMaG – The EDV-Orchestra barometer shows a rebound, with business volume up 7.6%, the number of bookings up 2.9%, and the average basket rising by 4.6%. Do you see yourself aligning with this trend?

Gonzague de Gélis: Bookings at Kuoni are strong in August. We’re even around +15% for August bookings compared to last year. It’s therefore a very good month.

And among the good news for August, Egypt stands out. It is the destination that is growing the most and driving our August performance. We also have a Lapland effect for next winter.

TourMaG – How are bookings developing for Asia?

Gonzague de Gélis:
Overall, we are roughly +20% for Asia on departures for 2026 booked in August, while departures for 2027 show a 109.7% rise. It is therefore extremely positive.

Some destinations had seen a lull, notably during various conflicts, but they are now rebounding very well. However, the Maldives remain challenging, as do the Seychelles.

The United States is not very dynamic either at the moment. But this isn’t necessarily the selling period, so it’s still a bit early to draw a clear 2027 trend.

On the other hand, everything else is performing very well: Egypt, Asia, South Africa, Tanzania, the tours, but also Europe. Bespoke travel is also doing very well.



“Our 2027 portfolio is up compared to last year”

TourMaG: And what about Mauritius?

Gonzague de Gélis:
Mauritius is performing exceptionally well for us. It’s actually one of the standout news of this rentrée. We’ve decided to highlight it further in September with a dedicated brochure, which will be more like a large flyer, accompanied by a special offer.

The objective is to keep pushing Mauritius during the rentrée and especially to leverage its strong sales for the winter season.

TourMaG – So you’re quite confident for the rentrée?

Gonzague de Gélis: Yes, clearly. We had solid sales in the summer, which makes us confident for the rentrée. We are now keeping our fingers crossed that September follows the same trend.

TourMaG – Are the 2027 elections worrying you?

Gonzague de Gélis: Elections tend to create a bit of wait-and-see, and they rarely have a genuinely positive effect on bookings. But compared with other geopolitical events, I’d rather have a election year!

Most importantly, our 2027 portfolio is already rising relative to last year. I tell myself we will inevitably do better, unless something happens that we do not yet know about. For now, things are looking good and we remain confident.


Kuoni: “We have completely caught up with group sales for 2027”

TourMaG – What about the group market, which often serves as an early indicator of activity?

Gonzague de Gélis:
Groups remain a valuable barometer because they provide a forward-looking view of what could happen later with individual bookings.

We did experience a small dip in May-June. We issued many quotes, but responses were scarce, whereas that period is when groups typically start booking for the following year.

Over the summer, however, we received a lot of responses to quotes already made.

We have therefore completely caught up with 2027 group sales. Again, we are fairly confident: it has really rebounded well.

TourMaG – What are Kuoni’s main events for this rentrée?

Gonzague de Gélis: Our flagship brochures, focused on circuits and stays, were released before summer. Specialist brochures typically arrive a little later.

We will notably publish the Egypt brochure in September. Other brochures, such as Donatello, will come later in the year, as will Celtictours.

And from mid-September, we will particularly spotlight Mauritius with this dedicated brochure and a special offer.

TAP Air Portugal


Kuoni launches its 2027 previews by focusing on enriching its offering and personalizing travel experiences.

The tour operator is evolving several of its ranges to provide more choices to travel agents and their clients, while developing exclusive products.

The new brochures are currently being distributed to travel agencies and are already accessible in Kuoni’s professional space.

The main change concerns Scanditours, which is rethinking its Lapland clubs around five distinct concepts, each targeting a specific traveler profile.


Scanditours completely redesigns its Lapland clubs

The Scanditours Lumi Club adopts an adults-only positioning, while the Scanditours Ounasvaara Club targets travelers who wish to discover Lapland in a more autonomous way.

Families now have the Scanditours Pohtimo Club, while Luosto focuses on an immersion in Sami-Lapland traditions.

Finally, Olos completes this new range with an activities-oriented formula open to different types of clientele.

Scanditours also broadens its winter program with two new city breaks dedicated to Christmas markets, pairing Tallinn and Helsinki on one side, and a stay in Riga on the other.

Three new circuits and self-drive itineraries in Norway complete the offering.


New addresses in the Indian Ocean and the Caribbean

The Sables 2027 collection expands with several properties in seaside destinations. In Mauritius, Constance Le Chaland joins the program. In the Seychelles, Kuoni adds Alphonse Island Seychelles as well as Red Palm Luxury Villas Seychelles.

In the French Antilles, the tour operator launches two new stay-with-excursions formats, Ti’Zîl Madinina in Martinique and Ti’Zîl Karukera in Guadeloupe, along with two Pierre & Vacances properties.

Kuoni also notes it relies on direct access to hotel stock and on partnerships with several international chains, while offering an exclusive with Ananea Madivaru Maldives.


A private cruise aboard the Royal Clipper

The Cruises 2027-2028 range grows with new maritime and river itineraries. Among the novelties is a private cruise aboard the Royal Clipper, reserved for Kuoni customers, with a single departure planned from Nice on May 8, 2027.

The catalog also includes an Amazon expedition aboard the R/V Brasilian Dream, a cruise to the Austral Islands aboard the Aranoa, a North Europe itinerary on the Oceania Vista, and an expedition to the Spitzberg aboard the SH Vega.

The tour operator also highlights a greater number of French-speaking itineraries, departures from French ports, and packages that include flights and pre- and post-cruise programs.


More customizable tours

Kuoni also enriches its Group and Private Tours 2027 brochure with several new itineraries, including a Colombian panorama, a South African fresco, a peaceful Japanese interlude, and Brazil, combining culture and nature, offered with a special departure for the Rio Carnival.

The operator also continues to develop its privatisable circuits to allow agencies to build more personalized trips according to the expectations of their clientele.

IFTM prenez RDV avec TourMaG


Kuoni France Group announces the launch of its Rallye des Plages 2026, which will be held from June 22 to 26.

For this new edition, the tour operator revisits the format of this travel-agency oriented event, with a summer tour organized “along the water” across several French cities.

Designed as a privileged exchange moment between Kuoni’s sales teams and their distributor partners, this itinerant gathering will allow to discover in advance the 2027 travel collection.

The meetings will take place in venues located by the sea or by a river, in line with the theme chosen for this year.

According to René Thibaut, the group’s commercial director, this new format aims to offer “a more immersive and summery experience“, while promoting high-quality interactions with partners.

The event aligns with the group’s goal to strengthen its closeness with the network of agencies, while renewing its presentation formats.


A five-stop tour

On the program: evenings held in carefully selected settings, product trainings, as well as opportunities to exchange with the teams and with partner suppliers.

Animations and prizes (gift vouchers, freebies) will also punctuate each stop.

The tour will stop in five cities:

– June 22 in Lille

– June 23 in Honfleur

– June 24 in La Baule

– June 25 in Bordeaux

– June 26 in Nice

Pour ce challenge de ventes de rentrée, les lots sont plus importants que ceux de l'année précédente - Image : Kuoni France

IFTM


The Kuoni France Group is launching in September a commercial incentive campaign aimed at its network of partner agencies.

The initiative covers all the group’s brands – Kuoni, Scanditours, Celtictours and Donatello – and aims to stimulate sales during a strategic back-to-school period.

The principle is simple: for each file reserved via the professional platform pro.kuoni.fr, a gift voucher of €80 is awarded. Sales made through the booking service, on the other hand, entitle a voucher of €60.

Beyond these individual rewards, the challenge also envisages collective recognition.

The three agencies with the highest number of bookings between September 1 and 30, 2025 will be distinguished with larger prizes in the form of trips:

– First prize: a five-night stay for two at the five-star Ananea Madivaru hotel in the Maldives, half-board, with flights and seaplane transfers included (excluding school holidays) ;

– Second prize: a seven-night cruise in Egypt for two, with flights included (excluding school holidays) ;

– Third prize: a three-night stay in Lapland for two, with flights included (excluding school holidays).

Participating agencies must declare their sales no later than October 4, 2025 on the pro.kuoni.fr platform.
