The adventure specialist said 16% of bookings now came via agents, versus 11% in 2019. Trade revenue has risen 73% as a result.
In the year to 31 October 2019, Explore made a pre-tax profit of £2 million on turnover of £41.6 million. It is set to exceed this result in 2022/23 following a record-breaking January which included the biggest day of sales in the operator’s 40-year history.
Explore predicted it would “greatly exceed” pre-pandemic bookings in the current financial year.
