The Caravan Club is pleased to announce that on 5th October 2012 it purchased the Mark Hammerton Group; under Club ownership it will be known as The Alan Rogers Travel Group.
The Club is delighted to be able to add the extensive range of travel products, expertise and service to its already renowned Travel Service. This acquisition is a strategic move for The Club to enable it to grow its Overseas Travel Service offering for members and to further strengthen its position as market-leader. The acquisition of The Alan Rogers Travel Group will ensure Club members have a greater choice of travel products and services.
Nick Lomas, Director General of The Caravan Club, and now Managing Director of The Alan Rogers Travel Group, says, “The Caravan Club’s acquisition of The Alan Rogers Travel Group has combined two market-leading brands which will further enhance The Club’s Travel Service offering for its members. Together the two organisations can build an array of unbeatable travel products and services.”
The Caravan Club is Europe’s premier touring organisation representing the interests of over one million caravanners, motorhomers and trailer tenters.
The Alan Rogers Travel Group is a UK market leader: it is the publisher of the Alan Rogers Guides; provides extensive campsite information; sells sites and ferry crossings and is the exclusive UK agent for Camping Cheque. It also owns Belle France, a specialist French tour operator, a digital media company and has a Dutch office that sells media opportunities to individual campsites. ----------------
Umm. We used ARTS for our Vendee hol this year, and were very happy with their service. When our situation changed, they changed our tent booking to a static, no fuss.
I wonder if this means you'll have to be a CC member to use them in future ?
For next year's hol we're booking the site, ferries, and overnights direct, and actually it's all very straightforward.

My advice is worth no more than the price paid for it
