Airways launches agent toolkit to boost Channel Island trips


Channel Islands specialist Airways Holidays has launched its 2019 brochure and is offering agents support with a ‘toolkit’ to help boost sales. Sales director Gill McCarthy said forward bookings were 25% ahead of the same period last year as Brits seek passport- free travel outside the eurozone. She said: “The Channel Islands are on many people’s wish lists for 2019. The fact that a holiday to the Channel Islands involves no currency exchange hs infene nsmers. Airways Holidays’ agent


toolkit is now online, with downloadable posters and social media assets. Most hotels in the brochure are on sale at 2018 prices for 2019 departures. There are also free nights, upgrades and meals at selected hotels on departures before February 28. The operator is offering


Love2shop vouchers for every online booking in January, and agents who send in the answers to the quiz in the brochure could win a hamper, gin or chocolate. Each month, one agent will win a four-star break at a Channel Islands hotel. airwaysholidays.com
