Neilson Active Holidays (Neilson) is a UK-based sports tour operator providing quality all inclusive active package holidays to both beach and mountain resort locations.
Demand-driven expansion
To support its organic expansion strategy, the management team partnered with LDC in 2018 to support consumer demand for activity and wellness holidays.
The business is led by CEO David Taylor, formerly of TUI, and Chair Tracy Lewis, former Global CEO of Wacoal and former LDC investment, Eveden.
In 2026, Neilson is set to open two new five-star resorts, one in Sicily and the other in Mauritius, as part of its new Neilson Inside Collection. Mauritius will be Neilson’s first long-haul option.
LDC has a successful track record in the travel industry, but most importantly the investment team bought into our vision and growth strategy completely. This is critically important as we embark on the next phase of our journey.”
