Record after record has tumbled this week here at The Travel Franchise & Not Just Travel, with holiday sales up 50% vs. this time of year pre-pandemic.
Top-selling destinations by booking value this week included the Maldives, the US, Spain, Dubai and Greece.
But it’s a huge well done to Travel Consultant, Gilly, who secured more than £50,000 in new sales on Monday.
That means she’s earned in excess of £5,000 commission in a single day.
Gilly said she had a real mix of bookings that made up the £50k in sales:
I had several big bookings to South Africa and Mozambique, Florida and Universal Studios Hotels and a group holiday to Ibiza.
One of my specialisms is South Africa, so it’s brilliant news the country has opened up again – there’s a lot of pent-up demand…

People are booking bigger and better holidays right now
Dave Pope (who’ll be there to help you grow your business) told us that the relaxation of the UK’s travel and testing rules had served as another confidence boost for travellers.
We are entering a new era of travel where clients are relaxed, confident and ambitious.
People are booking bigger and more expensive holidays as obstacles are consistently removed. Consumers see the value in using a travel consultant who can hold their hand and guide them through the complexities of travel forms and testing. We have proved our worth through the harshest of times.

Records are only there to be broken… again!
Co-founder Steve Witt tells us our consultants and HQ team are bracing themselves for Monday (31st January) to be even busier after people’s January pay days.
He said:
The dam has finally burst for the travel industry as bookings are flooding in. Since the pandemic started, all our efforts and training have been for this moment.
Our amazing travel consultants have been continuously busy since the pandemic began – keeping in touch with clients and maintaining those precious relationships. They are working day and night and deserve every single booking!
You still (just about) have time to get started this spring
Training has limited availability for March (Monday 21st – Friday 25th). Please act fast and book a call with us if you want to take advantage of the big travel rebound in 2022.
