With leisure sales alone reaching £735 million in the last 12-month period (to August 23rd, 2024), SME business worth £265 million has helped the platform reach its first-ever billion-pound year return
The Mediterranean, USA, Southeast Asia, Indian Ocean and cruise sales led the charge for the period, with the USA coming up trumps for business sales.
171 of the 2,121 Travel Counsellors reported their best-ever sales period in the 12 months too, contributing significantly to the platform-best results.
Steve Byrne, Travel Counsellors' CEO, celebrated the milestone. "We are absolutely delighted to have reached this £1 billion sales milestone for the first time, made possible by the dedication, passion, and care of our entire Travel Counsellors community.
"But for us, it’s more than just a number – it represents all the instances of TCs caring for their customers that have led us to this point. Every extra mile, every thoughtful detail, and every time we go above and beyond for our customers and clients has contributed to this."
Steve noted the strength of the Travel Counsellors tech platform and the "human touch" of franchisees as he "look[s] forward to the future with excitement as we continue to grow and succeed together."
Several events, including a live edition of the TCTV show, will commemorate the milestone throughout the week.
