Brochure ordering service TradeGate has reported a surge in demand from agencies and homeworkers for tour operator brochures as travel restrictions are lifted and holidaymakers’ confidence returns.
The B2B service has seen a 130% increase in orders from December 2021 to January 2022, hitting pre-pandemic levels.
With more restrictions expected to be removed as the summer season approaches, TradeGate anticipates “continued consumer confidence and a strong bounce-back” for the sector.
TradeGate is operated by BP Travel Marketing by Menzies Distribution.
David McLellan, commercial and operations manager representing BP Travel Marketing by Menzies Distribution, said: “Since the beginning of the year we have seen travel agents return in large numbers to request tour operator titles.
“As normal life begins to resume and holidays once again become a factor in people’s lives, it is fantastic to see demand getting back to pre-pandemic levels.”
