Wow what a 2024! Travel Counsellors have achieved over £1 billion in sales this year, our best ever year. Perfect icing on the cake for our 30th anniversary celebrations. I have had my best every year since become a self employed Travel Counsellor and that is all thanks to the amazing support of my amazing clients.

January has always traditionally been the month to book holidays so I am busy getting ready for all my client enquiries. But there is no need to wait until January, I am already getting deals coming in thick and fast.

I’ve had lots of exciting enquiries this month. Florida continues to be a popular choice, but my latest enquiry was something a bit different with less time in Orlando. These two families travelling together have sandwiches time in Orlando between a stay in Miami and time on the Gulf Coast to enjoy Florida’s stunning beaches.

This wasn’t the only multi family holiday I booked this month, with one 65 year old celebrating this milestone birthday by inviting their children and their families to Mauritius for a week. With families coming from different sides of the world it took some coordination but the customer was pleased with the overall result and will have a fabulous celebration in November.

City breaks were also popular this month with stays in Seville, Florence and Bruges being booked by my lovely customers.
