The figure, a 22% increase on the homeworking giant’s March 2022 sales, has helped the company reach £416 million in overall business since November 2022 - a 64% increase from pre-pandemic levels.
Travel Counsellors’ leisure departures in 2023 have reached £404 million - a 37% boost since 2022.
In March, the company saw 51% of sales made for Summer 2023 departures, 29% for Winter 23/24 and 14% for next spring.
This month also saw 126 of its agents celebrate their best months of trading on record, including 18 achieving more than £200k in sales, and 3,529 bookings from new leisure customers.
Travel Counsellors’ luxury sales saw a 28% increase against 2022 figures, with bookings so far hitting £40.2m and top-performing luxury destinations including the Maldives and UAE.
The Greek Islands are proving the company’s most popular destinations for the impending summer, followed by Mauritius, while Thailand is proving popular for 23/24 winter departures and the firm’s most searched destination for long-haul was the Maldives.
Steve Byrne, chief executive of Travel Counsellors, said: “These figures are brilliant to see and testament to the hard work of our individual Travel Counsellors and the colleague community that support them, all of whom are dedicated to providing a truly personalised and caring service to customers.
“Since the pandemic we have seen both leisure and corporate travellers appreciating this trusted travel offering more than ever before, and it’s also really reassuring to see bookings level rise across the board, including for departures next winter, proving once again consumer confidence is well and truly returning.”
