It comes after the homeworking agency experienced record-breaking sales for a second month in a row in April, exceeding pre-pandemic levels. 
 
Findings from a recent customer survey showed 75% of customers are confident to travel and 50% of respondents are planning two or more holidays abroad this year, with 25% saying they are "willing and able" to spend more on their getaways.
 
In April, UK leisure sales performed at 136% compared to 2019 levels and corporate bookings – largely from SMEs – outperformed at 133% on 2019.

Meanwhile, 137 of the company’s agents had their best ever sales month in April – with nine of them each amassing more than £200,000 in bookings. One agent booked more than 200 trips last month, achieving more than £1.3m in sales.

Steve Byrne, chief executive at Travel Counsellors, said: "We are delighted to see that the desire and demand for travel remains high – and that many of our TCs are continuing to experience their best ever months on record.

"As confidence in travel continues to increase alongside the further reduction in restrictions around the world, more holidaymakers and business travellers – largely SMEs – are once again booking their trips.

"It is a very exciting time for our business, and it is abundantly clear that both our leisure and corporate customers want to travel and book with a trusted brand and personal travel advisor."
