Wholesaler Norman Allen Group Travel reports a boost in its business over the last year.
It says the number of tours operated in 2017, and the average number of nights away per tour, both increased over the last year. The number of tours operated was the highest in the last five years.
Its UK and Irish tours had increased success, and its inbound tour department grew by almost 50% in 2017.
Despite perceived gloom in the trade about European tours, NAGT’s experience is that these are also strong, with more of its booked tours departing than in 2016.
Continental tour bookings for 2018 are up by 7% on the same time last year.
NAGT has noted an increasingly early interest in tours for the ‘next’ season, and has been taking a steady stream of enquiries for 2019.
NAGT is also looking ahead to the Oberammergau Passion Play in 2020. Interest and bookings are strong, and NAGT is confident that its few remaining dates, including best available Category 1 seats, will soon be snapped up.
