The independent travel company reported its best-ever November in history, up 66% on 2019, and hopes to carry the momentum into 2023.
Travel Counsellors has reported its bumper figures for 2022, with sales up by 75% on 2019's figures and 33% on 2021's.
The company's November survey saw 78% of customers agreeing that they will continue to travel next year, with 79% looking to book as normal or even earlier to secure the best deals.
Winter sales are up, with the company seeing its best ever December departure month and the 2023 winter period already up 25% on 2019 figures.
Steve Byrne, CEO of Travel Counsellors, comments: “These outstanding results are a reflection of the incredible care shown by our people to their customers. Over the last few weeks we have seen higher enquiry levels and value than ever before, as people look towards their 2023 travel and want to book earlier to lock in prices.
"They also want to book with someone they can trust and will be there to offer the best advice and tailor travel to suit them, as highlighted in our recent customer survey. This need for tailormade travel is reflected further in the trends we are seeing, with a strong return of the multi-centre, long-haul holiday and popular destinations.
“We are of course cognisant of the current environment and are focused on continuing to support our Travel Counsellors and provide them with the most personal digital platform to enable them to build successful travel businesses, provide the very best service to their customers and celebrate more success in 2023.”
