PURE ONE, the fast-growing specialist tour operator, has today announced a major strategic evolution as it prepares to launch a full programme of Small Group journeys alongside a refined, expanded focus on European FIT travel. The first PURE ONE Small Group departures will operate from May 2026.
The move marks an exciting new chapter for the business, strengthening its core identity as a modern, culturally rich, experience-focused tour operator. While PURE ONE will continue offering a curated selection of international travel, it will now place sharper emphasis on Europe. In this region, demand for quality, immersive, and moderate-priced travel experiences continues to surge.
“Europe is where our travellers feel the strongest emotional connection,” said Wesley Baker, CEO of PURE ONE Group.
“By expanding our FIT programmes across Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Croatia and more, while introducing our new Small Group product, we're delivering the journeys our guests have been asking for: authentic, stylish, achievable, and deeply memorable.”
Small Groups: A New Flagship Product for PURE ONE
Launching in May 2026, PURE ONE's Small Group journeys will feature:
- Groups of 8-14 travellers
- Culturally immersive itineraries across Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Czechia, Morocco, Tunisia, Croatia and beyond
- A blend of “moderate” comfort and authentic, experiential travel
- Specialist themes across Pathways (history & culture), New Age (energy, wellness & spiritual), Language Journeys, Naturist, Paranormal (ghosts and UFOs), Wildlife, Adventure, Surfing and Safaris.
- Carefully selected Accommodation
- A strong commitment to responsible, sustainable travel
These new departures complement PURE ONE's expanding FIT European portfolio, which will exceed 300 products across 2026–2027.
Refinement of Global FIT
As part of the company's strategic shift, PURE ONE will be reducing its global FIT footprint to focus on regions where it can offer the highest consistency, product depth, and long-term scalability.
“We remain committed to long-haul partnerships - especially in Asia and Latin America - but our main FIT investment will now be in Europe,” Baker added. “This is a focused, sustainable approach that ensures our partners and travellers benefit from a deeper, more curated collection.”
Strong Momentum and Rapid Growth
PURE ONE has reported significant growth across 2025, fuelled by expanding trade relationships, strong product development, and rising consumer demand for more meaningful, style-forward travel.
Trade, Media & Partnership Opportunities
PURE ONE welcomes conversations with travel agents, DMCs, media partners, and tourism boards as it enters this new phase of European expansion and prepares for the rollout of its new specialist Small Group journeys.
