Marlborough-based Travel by Hannah celebrated its “best month ever” with 95 bookings – a 40% increase on last January’s figures and a 20% boost compared with its previous best month.
“We’re extremely fortunate, and I’m just very happy,” said founder Hannah Porter. “It’s helped ease the pressure, but we all know it can change in a day, so we’re not relaxing just yet.”
West Country agency C The World was another to experience a "very strong January" for enquiries and bookings. “It sets you up for the rest of the year, and gives you a nice cushion,” said owner Matt Purser, who also cautioned: “It doesn’t necessarily mean the whole year will be as strong.”
