Caribtours’ Managing Director Pail Cleary said: “Following the election result, sterling was already beginning to strengthen against the US dollar.
“I – probably all of us – would love that to continue into January peaks. In what has been a very difficult trading back drop, with Brexit uncertainty and economic concerns, Caribtours has aggressively grown in many areas this year so that we are even better positioned when the post-Brexit upturn comes.”
The operator celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2019.
Mr Cleary added: “I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved in the past four decades and I am especially proud of our team who have made it happen.”
Despite challenges, Mr Cleary said 2019 had ended up overall as a “good year”.
“We established our foothold in the Republic of Ireland; we introduced new destinations such as Mykonos, Ibiza and Turkey to bolster our Luxury Europe range; and we introduced our Boutique Collection of small hotels worldwide,” he added.
