Customers of the Two Award-Winning Companies Will Benefit With Enhanced Services and Privileges

Billings, MT, Aug. 8, 2012 – Award-winning tour operator Austin-Lehman Adventures (ALA), the active tour company setting land-and-cruise adventure travel vacations standards in The Americas, Europe, Africa and the Caribbean, announces that Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS) has selected ALA to be its exclusive adventure travel partner and purveyor.

The announcement was made this week by Dan Austin, ALA’s founding director and Scott Barrett, EMS Vice President.

“This new preferred partner relationship brings together two companies whose respective clientele expect only the best in quality and service,” said Austin. “Clients of both companies will benefit from the alliance as EMS refers customers to ALA for their active adventure tour needs and Austin-Lehman Adventures in turn, directs tour participants to EMS for fulfillment of apparel and equipment needs.”

In turn, ALA will engage EMS customers by providing special VIP and exclusive offerings of ALA trips as part of a developing EMS Customer Loyalty Program. The partnership also plans cross-promotional opportunities including in-store promotions, kiosks and video on ALA adventure trips. Exclusive EMS tours and departures will be featured.
