YourTravelClub, which comprises two agencies – Swindon Travel Hub and Premium Cruises & Tours in Cirencester – is on the hunt for a new full time travel consultant to join the team, primarily based in the Cirencester store with occasional support required across the business.
Sales director Shaun Jones, who launched the company with Ashley Hunt two years ago, told TTG business has got steadily busier over the past three or four weeks.
“Business has picked up to a level where we need to actually start recruiting again,” he said. “It's a noticeable increase. Like for everybody else in the industry, sales died a death for a period, but I think now customers have had enough and just gone ‘I want to go on holiday’.”
Jones clarified the business wasn’t necessarily seeing much last-minute business from the big operators like easyJet and Jet2, but was seeing bookings – both for “within the week” and further in the future – for the likes of AmaWaterways, Wendy Wu Tours, and Royal Caribbean.
"We've had a lot of late river cruise bookings recently. As in customers booking to travel the same week. That never normally happens." Jones added. “We don't normally pick up that availability, so that was nice. Long may the pick-up in business continue.”
