The operator has introduced a sales support team to help agents, as March bookings have matched for the first time.

The tour operator achieved sales revenue of 26 million dollars for the financial year that ended in September.

The company had to cut its workforce from 83 to 32 when the US was closed for 20 months due to the Pandemic.

In the toughest of circumstances, it had been difficult to keep the company running.

While some mistakes were made, we did our best and have been rewarded with the support of so many agents.

As one of the few trade only tour operators remaining, we are reliant on the amazing support that we have received from travel agents.

The travel industry has been hard hit by the Pandemic and my heart goes out to the tour operators who have had to close their doors forever.

A new sales support team has been introduced by the operator.

The three-strong team will help agents make changes to existing bookings. The customer service team will be handling the administration process.

It will be easier for agents to contact us, he said.

Increased booking incentives and marketing support will be part of the Supporting Agents Supporting Us programme.

Novik said the company was committed to supporting and working with travel agents.

The company will launch a number of promotions this year to celebrate its 40th anniversary.
