The UK’s largest independent travel agency opened the store at the Broad Walk shopping precinct. Local residents were invited to meet the six-strong team and take part in prize giveaways, including a £500 holiday voucher.
The new Hays Travel branch occupies the former site of The Body Shop. Ian Howes, Branch Manager of the Harlow shop, said the opening had been warmly received by the local community.
"Thank you to everyone who came along to our grand opening and made it such a memorable occasion," he said. "All of the team thoroughly enjoyed sharing advice and inspiration and we can’t wait to meet more of our new customers."
