Launched by agent campaign group Target (Travel Agents Reform Group Engaged Together) in November, the idea sees BDMs and supplier reps given temporary workstations to allow them to catch up on emails and calls.

Jill Waite, co-founder of Target, said the scheme was launched after suppliers faced difficulty in returning calls and replying to emails while they were travelling. "We hope this initiative will help them," she added.


Target co-founder and Westoe Travel boss Graeme Brett said the response from agents has been "amazing".
