InteleTravel to offer week-long resort stays from £400 per group

InteleTravel will offer week-long resort stays from £400 per group through a partnership with Interval International.

The option, which will be introduced this week on the agency’s “stays engine”, will feature 20,000 properties around the world, InteleTravel chief executive James Ferrara said.

He cited a growing interest in group travel and noted an increasing demand for value for money.

“We want our advisors to be able to compete on value in the most aggressive way and these are some of the best values in the travel industry, when you consider that even Airbnb, which used to be a great value proposition, is now equal to or greater than hotel rates,” he said.

“A week in a resort is equal to one night in an Airbnb rental.”

The agency will also be rolling out ‘Holibob’, which will allow agents to send activity recommendations when the client is overseas, Ferrara said, while the AI-based “itinerary builder” teased at last year’s conference is set to be unveiled in the coming months.
