The luxury tour operator has launched a January sales campaign for both agents and consumers, as well as offering incentives for the trade.
Paul Cleary, managing director, said the “usually quiet week” before Christmas had been “incredibly busy” and had helped the independent operator to already be £1 million ahead year-on-year for 2018 departures.
“It should normally be a week where people are thinking about Christmas but those 10 days were incredibly busy,” Cleary said.
"It was also steady between Christmas and new year. Bookings were at levels we had not been expecting and we also had a lot of sales in the first week of January. The signs are encouraging, although it’s still very early days.”
Cleary added that most bookings over the last few weeks had been for February half-term and Easter holiday periods. He expected more enquiries for Christmas 2018 to start coming in this week.
“We have done a lot of Barbados so far,” said Cleary. “Mauritius has also done well and European summer business has been good – particularly to Greece which has been really flying for summer 2018."
