Abercrombie & Kent Acquires Premier Bolivian Tour Operator Crillon Tours

Abercrombie & Kent has acquired Crillon Tours for an undisclosed amount, marking a significant expansion into bespoke luxury travel experiences in Bolivia and the broader South American region.

This corporate acquisition sees the global luxury travel operator taking ownership of a pioneering Bolivian tourism company.

Crillon Tours, founded in 1958, has established itself as a premier DMC/Tour Operator in Bolivia, specializing in high-end incoming tourism.

The company is renowned for its deep local expertise, strategic insider access, and commitment to sustainable travel.

Its extensive offerings include Classic Journeys, Bespoke Luxury Experiences, and MICE services, with a strong focus on tailor-made multi-destination itineraries across South America.

Crillon Tours boasts unique infrastructure, including seven hydrofoils and two hotels on Lake Titicaca, private harbors, and luxury Airstream Campers for Uyuni.

Abercrombie & Kent, a leader in luxury travel and experiential journeys worldwide, gains a critical foothold and enhanced operational capabilities in a unique and growing South American destination.

The acquisition aligns with Abercrombie & Kent's strategy to deepen its portfolio of authentic, high-quality experiences and expand its geographical reach with established local experts.

This move is not a funding round; rather, it is a direct purchase of Crillon Tours' entire operations and assets.

The synergy between the two entities is expected to be substantial.

Crillon Tours’ six decades of local knowledge, proprietary infrastructure, and established network in Bolivia will complement Abercrombie & Kent’s global sales and marketing reach, operational standards, and discerning client base.

This integration will allow for the delivery of even more sophisticated and seamless luxury travel options across the Andean region and beyond, leveraging Crillon's unique assets like its Lake Titicaca facilities and Uyuni campers.

The combined entity is poised to offer unparalleled luxury travel experiences throughout Bolivia and reinforce its position as a leading provider of premium, immersive journeys across South America.
