Relevant industry experience from travel professionals

The Adventure Connection was established as a UK adventure travel marketing consultancy in 2016, with the aim of connecting amazing travel experiences with relevant markets.  

 

We work with professional and reliable DMCs that offer something unique and different. We've become a valued resource for tour operators, who use The Adventure Connection as their first point of contact when looking for new supplier and destination recommendations. 

 

Our wide range of marketing services are all tailored specifically to appeal to adventure and specialist travel audiences.
