Story: Shearings agrees consumer magazine deal This is great. I think we’ll see more of these kinds of tie-ups: commercial entities partnering with media companies; and media companies will need content from the commercial world too. Makes sense if done well. I work in travel TV and we’re doing similar things – tie-ins with companies to get content which helps us create and provide more new content.

Thank you, Mandy, for help with charity ball
I’d like to express my gratitude to Mandy Davis of @3FOR for her tenacity and professionalism in helping us put on a charity ball in Leeds to raise funds for Caribbean islands hit by last year’s hurricanes. From online ticket sales and menus to artwork and auction prizes, she was truly outstanding.

Shearings’ media tie-up is likely to be emulated
P&O and Cunard’s trade support is so poor
P&O Cruises and Cunard seem to have a disregard for the trade in terms of call centre wait times and not answering the email line set up. We have had several clients who have left our offices recently as we simply cannot get through on the line to discuss genuine changes that only P&O can make; and even when emailing, there is no answer days later. The even more annoying part is that if you call as a direct client you get straight through to an agent.
STEVE PLUMMER, managing director, Holidays & Cruises Travel Weekly welcomes a response from P&O/Cunard
TWEETS THIS WEEK
Lockie Kerr @BackroadsLockie Great fun training the @TriangleTravel teams last night on all things Back-Roads Touring. Always helps when pizza is involved too!
Conference Kittie @conferencekitti Just been into the ex-Lunn Poly that I used to manage. Some old customers were in there: “Are you coming back to work here? It was the best when you were here” in front of the staff!
Cathie O’Dea @CathieodeaTC Thank you Raghaw @Travelpack for replying on Sunday and helping me secure an India booking
QUOTE OF THE
WEEK
“[In the 1970s] we toured the country with a film projector to show agents what Spain was like. They’d ask if you
could drink the water. It was a different era.”

WEEK

Staggered holidays would help us all
Story: Increase in number of pupils taken out of school for holidays I still believe that staggering school holidays, as they do in other EU countries, would benefit the consumer, the industry and especially domestic tourism, which also suffers from the compressing of holidays into tiny clusters. As part of our #ParentTrap campaign, I met with Nicky Morgan when she was secretary of state for education to press her to encourage councils to coordinate and stagger holidays by region, to spread the demand and lower the prices for families, teachers and all those that have to holiday during peaks. She was completely unaccommodating, saying that the government had “empowered schools to make their own decisions about holidays”. This was somewhat hypocritical since they had just removed schoolheads’ ability to allow parents of children with good attendance to make their own decisions about letting them have time off.
