In an exciting move for the travel industry, a Welsh agency has unveiled plans for an escorted tour to Argentina, which features a unique cultural experience in Patagonia, a region known for its Welsh speakers. This trip will coincide with St David’s Day, providing travellers with a culturally rich itinerary.
Traditionally dedicated to sports and business travel, Wonky Sheep Travel is now expanding its horizons by entering the leisure market. This initiative marks its first venture into leisure tours, demonstrating a significant shift in focus for the company.
Patagonia’s historical significance as a Welsh-speaking region results from the 19th-century migration of Welsh people, making it a unique cultural destination. The agency’s owner, Dave Dulin, has stated that the tour was developed in response to demand from acquaintances who expressed interest in experiencing the area during St David’s Day celebrations.
The comprehensive two-week itinerary includes stops at iconic locations such as Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, and Mendoza, culminating with the St David’s Day celebration in Patagonia. The tour provides a full-package experience, priced from £3,495, inclusive of flights.
Dulin has also unveiled plans for future escorted tours to destinations covering clients’ bucket lists. While this Argentina trip celebrates Welsh heritage, Wonky Sheep aims to attract participants from all over the UK. Plans include potential tours to Japan and other less-explored locations.
Moreover, the company’s strategy involves creating extraordinary European tours and city breaks, integrating ‘must-do’ activities typically not included in standard tours. Wonky Sheep is open to collaborations with other agents to expand its reach further.
The upcoming escorted tour to Argentina by Wonky Sheep represents an innovative venture into leisure tourism.
