January news
All signs are good for a big 2024 for travel as staff numbers continue to increase at travel agencies. Enquiries and bookings are so strong that many agents are not doing any marketing as they are already working at a maximum capacity.
Trailfinders are sponsoring a program on Australia on ITV https://www.itv.com/watch/john-and-lisas-food-trip-down-under/10a4511. This has been great PR for Australia so far.
I attended Vakantibeurs https://www.vakantiebeurs.nl/en/ in Utrecht, Holland and met with many agents there.
I have also attended FITUR in Madrid Fitur 2024 | International Tourism Fair (ifema.es). The only other stand for NZ/Australia was Pacific Destinations so we got huge demand for all types of holidays in NZ/Australia.
Upcoming Travel shows:
Destinations Travel show London, https://www.destinationsshow.com/london/
Unite Pacific travel trade show https://www.unitepromotions.co.uk/events/unite-pacific-australasia/
