The world’s first spaceline, Virgin Galactic, has signed up Agency to handle their PR work surrounding their announcement of the company’s five Accredited Space Agents in Scandinavia. The press event is to be held in Gothenburg on the 17th of March, two days prior to the TUR fair - the biggest travel industry fair in Scandinavia.

Agency has a long list of clients in the travel industry, among them are Viking Line (the biggest ferry company on the Baltic Sea), Solresor (Sweden’s fourth largest charter tour operator), easyJet (Europe’s leading low cost airline), STS Alpresor (the biggest skiing tour operator in Scandinavia) and Stena Line (one of the world’s largest ferry companies) to name a few.

– We already work with charter tours, cruises, skiing trips
and a low cost airline. Space is the next logical step for us and Virgin Galactic has, without any doubt, packaged the ultimate vacation, says Jesper Lövkvist, creative director at Agency.

Virgin Galactic is the world’s first spaceline and was founded in 2004 by the british super entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson. Within a few years time Virgin Galactic will offer space trips from Kiruna in the north of Sweden and from New Mexico in the US.

– Agency has an impressive trackrecord of working with all kinds of  
companies in the travel industry and strong brands in general. We are  
delighted to be working with Agency in Sweden, says Carolyn Wincer,  
Head of Astronaut Sales at Virgin Galactic.

Tickets for the Virgin Galactic space trips are already on sales. The price is 200 000 US dollars during the first year of flying. After that prices will drop gradually down to 20 000 US dollars.
