MONTREAL — In 1977 a brand new tour operator was created, a brochure was produced using a typewriter and was then printed and photocopied.

At the time, Russia was the only destination offered.

Throughout the years multiple destinations were added, company mergers happened and Boomerang Tours became a sister company before becoming one with Exotik Tours.

“The success and reputation that Exotik/Boomerang Tours has built over the years is based on the true essence of the travel industry: the passion of a team,” said the company.

“For decades we have been, and still are to a certain extent, handcrafters designing trips the old way, making connections with our suppliers and friends at destination the way we always did, in person.”

Technology, until today, had never been a major focus on the planning of travel packages but that now has changed.

The operator is launching a new website designed to catapult the company from 1977 to 2015, offering travel agents a wide range of products and tools to answer their clients’ needs, rapidly. “This website is easy to navigate, offers a search engine and regroups our world and our passion under one umbrella.”

The site now uses, by way of a world map, a simple click on an area, bringing up all of the packages offered for that destination. There are now much more local touring options in Spain, Morocco, Croatia and Northern Australia, to name a few.

Whether clients like to travel independently, as part of a small group of like-minded travellers, join locally guided tours or travel with private guides and drivers, a trip can be designed to fit their needs.
