EasyJet holidays has created a digital brochure for agents to “provide ideas and inspiration for customers looking to book holidays” for this summer and beyond. The ‘Inspire me’ brochure, which is being made


available to the operator’s 3,000 trade partners, features aspirational imagery, destination details and hotel recommendations. Agents will be encouraged to share the brochure,


which has been designed specifically for the trade, to educate customers about easyJet holidays’ offering and flexible booking options. The 40-page brochure includes a call to action


for customers to book holidays with their local independent travel agent. It features details about Greece, Spain, Turkey,


Malta, Madeira and the Algarve. A section on cities focuses on Amsterdam,


Reykjavik, Lisbon and Prague, while another spread features the Italian lakes of Como, Garda and Maggiore. A section on hotels subdivides properties into


luxury, family, adults and beach categories. A map highlights the destinations available, ranging


from the Canary Islands to Copenhagen and Tallinn, plus domestic options such as Belfast, Glasgow and Edinburgh. Brad Bennetts, easyJet holidays’ head of distribution,


said: “As travel is reopening, we wanted to create something, with sustainability in mind, to help inspire our trade agent partners and our mutual customers, as well as present some of our favourite destinations and hotels, and do justice to the fantastic experiences they offer holidaymakers. “We’re proud of the Inspire me brochure, and hope


it goes some way in supporting our partners as more people turn to their trusted travel agent to book their long-awaited holidays.” easyjet.com/holidays
