Newmarket Holidays, the escorted tour operator, celebrated National Travel Agents' Day on Friday 22nd July by giving every single travel agent who made a Newmarket Holidays booking on the day a £50 Love2shop gift voucher. The rewards were given to say a big thank you to all their superstar travel agent partners for their hard work, constant support and consistent sales support after what has been an incredibly tough 2 years for the travel industry.

Throughout the day the Newmarket Holidays team took to the road to visit travel agent partners, bringing them ice creams and treats to demonstrate their appreciation and thank them for their support. It also marked a fun way to celebrate the return of the industry post-COVID and to reflect on their achievements now that the industry looks towards a brighter future.

Head of Trade Sales, Richard Forde, explains: “We want to say a huge thank you to every single travel agent who has supported Newmarket Holidays as the travel industry has returned in 2022. We know that everyone has worked so hard to make our customers feel confident to book post-pandemic, reassuring them and answering any questions or concerns they may have.  Together we have helped fuel the wanderlust of thousands of customers and taken them on wish-list holiday this year. Let's keep the momentum going as we head into 2023 and beyond!”
