Aussies can escape to Sicily

THE founder of Sicily Escape, a Perth-based wholesaler offering its services to retail travel agents across Australia, has flagged plans to launch new brochures to the market in coming months.

Anthony Triscari said the company’s services are open to all retail travel groups with the added incentive of earning up to 10% commission for its agents.

“I came to the realisation that Sicily, an incredibly amazing holiday destination, was grossly under-marketed to the Australian people and I saw a need to put my passion and knowledge to good use,” Triscari told TD.

“I am an Australian-born, but pure-bred Sicilian, who, from the age of two years-old, had the good fortune to live and grow up on the magical and beautiful island of Sicily - it wasn’t long before I started my travel career as a retail travel agent.”

The company offers five tours of the Mediterranean island ranging from five to 11 night journeys with prices for the Sicilian Classic Tour starting from $2,248 per person twin share.

The package includes trips through the ancient Sicilian port of Catania on the east coast.

Sicily Escape is preparing to make a formal push on the Aussie market, ramping up its marketing collateral soon. “Brand new brochures are in the pipeline and we hope to get them out to the travel industry by Jun 2018,” Triscari said.

“We have brochures which highlight specialised tours in Sicily and are happy to send to any agency that requests it.”
