USAirtours reports best-ever August and September

USAirtours has seen a record-breaking August and September, with a 60% increase in revenues

The trade-only tour operator saw revenues increase by 60% year on year, making it the best-ever August and September trading period.

Across all areas of the business, year-on-year growth could be seen, with cruise bookings via sister brand Beyond Cruising up by 74%.

Guy Novik, founder of USAirtours, said, “These results are a real testament to the team we have across USAirtours and Beyond Cruising, and to the strength of the partnerships we have built with the trade.

“By combining great people with marketing-leading tools, incentives and training, we’re giving agents more reasons to book with us and helping them grow their own businesses at the same time.”

Guy said USAirtours now has more active agents than ever, securing higher-value products with longer lead times.

He reported more than 10% of bookings made during the period were for departures in 2028 and beyond, reflecting encouragement for the longer-term growth of the business.

Orlando and Walt Disney World held its title as the company’s best-performing destinations during the period, with the wider Central Florida region also recording strong growth.

A key driver of bookings for Beyond Cruising was the Caribbean, as well as growing demand for Alaska.
