We're incredibly proud to share that, as a company, we’ve surpassed £1 billion (R23.5 billion) in sales for the first time! This fantastic achievement wouldn’t be possible without the support of valued customers and supplier partners.

Steve Byrne, CEO of Travel Counsellors, commented: “We are absolutely delighted to have reached this £1 billion sales milestone for the first time, made possible by the dedication, passion, and care of our entire Travel Counsellors community. But for us, it’s more than just a number – it represents all the instances of TCs caring for their customers that have led us to this point. Every extra mile, every thoughtful detail, and every time we go above and beyond for our customers and clients has contributed to this.

“Our success is driven by the strength of our technology platform, enhanced by the human touch of our Travel Counsellors. This winning combination supports them to scale their businesses in a way that suits them. Our investment in technology has also helped us build our position as a leading tour operator by enabling us to offer more tailored packages that meet our customers' evolving needs. We look forward to the future with excitement as we continue to grow and succeed together.”

🌟 Unlock the Power of Travel Gift Vouchers 🌟

At Travel Counsellors, we equip our franchise owners with powerful tools to boost their business - one of these is our digital travel gift voucher.

The vouchers are versatile and can be used as prizes and gifts by Corporate customers (think incentives, long service awards, and staff gifts), or by leisure customers celebrating anniversaries, birthdays and more.

Here’s how these vouchers elevate their travel franchises:

💰 Immediate Cash Flow: Every voucher sold, brings in revenue for the TCs, helping them increase their income.

🤝 New Clients: These versatile vouchers introduce their concierge travel services to new clients.

😀 Customer Retention: Encourage repeat business and build loyalty by making gifting easy and memorable (especially for those last-minute Xmas gift shoppers!).

📈 Increased Sales: Recipients of the vouchers often spend beyond the voucher’s value, driving additional revenue for the TCs.

Gift vouchers aren’t just a convenience for our customers; they’re a strategic asset for our TCs!

Is your small independent brand holding you back?

Level up your independent travel agency 🚀
It's a big decision to take your travel business to the next level, especially after investing so much time and effort into building it up.

While there’s something to be said for the freedom and independence of going solo, sticking with a small brand might be holding you back more than you realise. Making the switch to a travel franchise with a strong, well-known brand could be the best move for your business.
