Jet2holidays revealed exciting plans to boost its award-winning partnership approach to working with independent travel agents at the company’s annual VIP conference, which took place in Leeds last week.
The new plans included a new campaign enabling agents to unleash their unique and trusted position to turn queries into sales.
The UK’s leading tour operator to destinations in the Mediterranean and Canary Islands hosted over 100 independent travel agents at a special one-day ‘It’s Coming Home’ conference in the company’s home city of Leeds.
Alan Cross, Head of Trade Sales at Jet2holidays said: “Stores are open and demand is growing all the time, so we will be working alongside independent travel agency partners to give them everything they need to not only customer questions but to turn that dialogue into sales too. We know how much customers value the expertise and knowledge that independent travel agents provide and we believe there is enormous potential in unleashing the power of that trust. By taking part in ‘Travel Made Simple with Jet2holidays’, independent travel agents will be seen by customers not only as trusted friends to help them navigate travel issues such as restrictions and testing, but as the people who can very easily turn their holiday dreams into reality.”
He adds: “By launching this campaign now, we are supporting independent travel agents so that they are ready for the demand out there. Not only will it equip independent travel agents to inspire confidence amongst customers wanting to book a package holiday but it will enable them to get onto the front foot when it comes to promoting holidays too. As always, we are looking at the trends on the high street and responding to them so that we can strengthen our partnership approach to working with independent travel agents.”
Speakers at the conference included Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2holidays, Alan Cross, Head of Trade at Jet2holidays as well as other members of the Senior Management Team.
Alan Cross added: “We are delighted to be hosting our annual VIP conference once again, and we have been genuinely amazed at how much independent travel agents wanted us to host it after missing out last year. We have put together a bumper agenda for our agency partners and we are very excited about what we have to tell them. There is enormous customer demand for Winter, Summer 22 and Summer 23 holidays, and our message to agents is all about using their expertise to capitalise on that demand. On top of that demand Jet2holidays has the product, the proven reputation for looking after customers, as well as unrivalled choice and flexibility – making now the perfect time to get ready and turbocharge sales.”
