Jet2holidays hosts first-ever event for non-retail agent partners

Jet2holidays hosted its first "summit" designed exclusively for non-retail travel agent partners last week, welcoming almost 200 delegates to Leeds.

The event was tailored to ensure top-performing non-retail travel agent partners came away with a better understanding of how to work with Jet2holidays.

The agenda featured presentations and panel sessions from senior figures from within Jet2holidays and the wider travel industry. These included Jet2holidays chief executive Steve Heapy and director of travel agent relationships Alan Cross.

The summit also featured supplier showcases, as well as panel sessions on a range of topics such as what makes a successful travel agent, latest booking trends, AI, the Jet2holidays customer journey and using social media and SEO to drive business.

There was also a product update from Jet2holidays head of product Zoe Towers.

Then, in the evening, delegates attended a special gala dinner and awards ceremony for non-retail partners at The Queen’s Hotel in Leeds.
