Yankee Leisure Group (YLG) has announced the opening of its new office in Sydney, Australia. The company said the opening reflects the increasing demand in the Australian market for new ways to reach and discover North America, Europe and beyond.
The Sydney-based office expands YLG’s global footprint and enables its brands to better serve both travel agents and consumers.
