Jet2holidays has announced its 8th annual VIP conference for independent travel agency partners.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2holidays, and Alan Cross, Head of Trade at Jet2holidays, made the announcement at an exclusive launch event for agency partners in London yesterday.
350 delegates and top-performing agents will be flown to Faro in Portugal on chartered flights from Manchester and Newcastle Airports for the conference.
Delegates will stay at the 3HB Guarana, in the village of Olhos de Água in Portugal, a 4-star hotel with modern rooms, a range of restaurants and bars, two swimming pools and a host of facilities.
Running from Monday 21st November to Thursday 24th November, the conference will feature a programme that is “specifically tailored” for independent travel agents.
Mr Heapy and Mr Cross highlighted how the conference is focused on giving independent travel agency partners the added impetus, knowledge and skills to attract more customers and sell more package holidays to drive business growth.
As well as hearing about how to attract more customers to drive more sales, agents will learn more about Jet2holidays’ future vision from senior figures including CEO Steve Heapy.
They will also take part in sessions with representatives from right across the Jet2holidays business.
There will be presentations, supplier showcases and a gala dinner, as well as the return of the high-profile awards ceremony recognising the best-selling and most successful agents.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2holidays said: “Selling through independent travel agents continues to be at the absolute core of Jet2holidays as a business and we will be using our eighth annual conference to demonstrate how and why.
“We are looking ahead with enormous confidence thanks to the way Jet2holidays has continued to treat customers and agency partners, providing prompt refunds during the pandemic and not cancelling due to staff shortages after travel reopened.
“We are looking forward to bringing agents up to speed with how they can capitalise on this confidence to grow their businesses.”
Alan Cross, Head of Trade at Jet2holidays, said: “We are very pleased to be bringing independent travel agency partners together for our eighth annual VIP conference, which is a real demonstration of how we have continued to invest in our partnership approach over the years.
“Our agency partners should be in no doubt that the Jet2holidays team is working on the biggest, best and most productive conference yet, drawing on years of experience to develop a packed programme tailored to the needs of agents.
“As well as showcasing all the award-winning benefits of our Partners2Success strategy, there will be much to celebrate and the fantastic 3HB Guarana will provide the most perfect setting for us all to enjoy.”
