Everyone in the Tourism Opportunities team was chosen for their knowledge and their personalities, but more than anything else, their passion…
As a small niche tour operator, we are proudly individual, totally flexible and have personal and team responsibilities, rather than being boxed-in rigid departmental duties. This is key to our style. You will be talking to someone who is not only knowledgeable and experienced but has the authority to see how best we can assist you.
As individuals, we are particularly well known in travel for our ability to identify Boutique Hotels, Luxury Resorts and Chic Destinations – a trend that we started way before the larger tour operators found it lucrative and started to overuse the description. We are still ahead of the game in this respect, and within our website, you will find a selection of delightful small Boutique Hotels that we are introducing into the UK for the first time.
We have no financial responsibility or obligation to any hotel or destination other than in the transaction of each booking. Equally, whilst not being worldwide tour operators, we do offer a wide range of destination choices, so we can offer alternatives if a particular area is adversely affected by weather or politics. As such, we can give you totally candid advice, without pressure from a Head Office accounts team reminding us we have committed stock to shift.

David Kevan
An industry veteran, yet still with a passion to discover new hotels and destinations, and a surprising trendsetter. Many years of experience, and regarded by many to have almost “Guru“ status given his encyclopaedic knowledge of the travel industry. Although sitting cross-legged for any length of time is now a challenge. Practical resort experience as a representative in the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean, a graphic design company in Singapore, and a founder member of some of the best-known specialist tour operators, including Tradewinds, Tropical Locations and now, probably his best, CHIC Locations and Tourism Opportunities.
