What happens when you bring together 530 consultants, travel partners, and industry leaders under one roof?
đĽA weekend like no other!
Earlier this month 530 franchisees and travel partners joined us for our biggest and best UK-based Annual Conference yet, and weâre still buzzing with excitement!
đFrom record-breaking achievements to industry insights from travel icon Dame Irene Hays, Chair of Hays Travel (the largest independent travel agent in the UK), the weekend was packed with inspiration and celebration.
Our travel consultants couldnât stop raving about the conference, and weâve captured their thoughts on camera.
đHas Blue Monday got you thinking about your life?
What if you didnât dread Mondays anymore? Well, it would be pretty hard to feel blue on a Monday if you were sipping cocktails around the pool or on a tropical island flipping open your laptop to make the odd booking!
đ What if we told you that dream could become reality? Weâve helped hundreds of people from all walks of life escape the 9 till 5 grind and start living life on their own terms, just like our consultant Toni, a busy mum based in Wiltshire, who used to hate Mondays.
âIn my old corporate job, I used to dread Monday morning and now itâs not like that. I have freedom in my calendar to basically do as little or as much as I want to, I spend my time helping people, and creating their memories, which I think is quite precious.â
Now Toni is happier than ever, earning money doing something she loves while also having the freedom to spend time with her family and go on holiday as many times as she wants without asking permission from her boss!

Boxing Day Was a Knock Out!
Consumers may not have been hitting the high streets in the same volumes as previous years, but they were certainly booking holidays. In fact, they were booking them like never before.
Boxing Day this year was the busiest we have ever seen. An early review of sales suggests a fourfold increase in bookings compared to last year. That's phenomenal!
Well done to all of our Travel Consultants who made bookings. As is almost tradition now, Christmas Day also saw a number of bookings being made.
January is always a very busy time in the travel industry and typically a busy period between Christmas and New Year is an indication of a very busy month ahead.
Want to know what customers were booking?
Here's a quick rundown of the top 10 destinations you've been booking over the last few days.
33% of all bookings were for summer 2025 and 33% were for last minute holidays before April 2025.
66% of all bookings were for traditional package holidays â no surprise given the advertising we're seeing from operators.
Top destinations for bookings:
o Spain â including Canaries and Balearics
o Greece
o Caribbean
o Cyprus
o Lapland
o USA (Florida)
o Egypt
o Ski (multiple destinations)
o UK
o Turkey
