The Pioneer Behind Club Travel Tyger Valley and TE Tours
Jan Hough’s path in the travel industry mirrors TE Tours’ commitment to innovation and resilience. Transitioning from the conventional travel agency model, he has guided Club Travel Tyger Valley into a sanctuary for travellers seeking deeper connections with their destinations. His vision and flexibility have not only ensured the agency’s success in a constantly evolving industry, but also paved the way for the creation of TE Tours as a frontrunner in small group tours. Reflecting on this journey, Hough emphasized, “In a world that’s always on the move, we strive to provide experiences that allow our travellers to truly pause and immerse themselves in the essence of each destination.” This philosophy underpins TE Tours, shaping each journey into an exploration of culture, nature, and personal growth.
Small Group Tours
The success of TE Tours’ small group adventures lies in the uniqueness and personalized nature of the experiences. These tours are premium adventures, appealing to those who value authenticity, cultural immersion, and the thrill of exploration. All of this done in small groups, limited to at most 15 tour members. TE Tours emphasizes the unique itineraries to exotic destinations, expert guides, and the carefree enjoyment of travel, drawing in a clientèle that seeks adventure without the hassle.
Jan Hough’s approach to travel extends beyond planning; he ensures a personal touch by engaging with travellers on a daily basis. During the tours, Jan is with them every day for two weeks, interacting from breakfast to dinner, whether it’s on the bus, walking together, or exploring the destinations together.
Planning and Logistics
Months of groundwork are conducted before a tour is even conceptualized. Jan Hough’s approach involves a thorough reconnaissance visit to potential destinations, where local partnerships in the industry are established. These partnerships form the backbone of TE Tours’ ability to offer unique and authentic experiences. Once a destination is identified, the team begins tackling the logistics. Everything from hotel accommodations, flight tickets, and land arrangements is exactly researched and negotiated. The goal is to create a seamless experience for travellers, where every aspect of their journey is carefully considered. The entire process, from the beginning to finalization, takes approximately 9 to 12 months. During this time, every aspect of the tour is scrutinized to ensure it meets TE Tours’ standards of quality and authenticity. Only when every detail is in place, and all relevant expenses are calculated, is the tour package finalized and ready to be presented to the market.
