Singles specialist turns to trade
Solo’s Holidays is launching its singles traveller product to the trade this weekend.
Managing director Andrew Williams claimed the specialist operator has been receiving an increasing number of calls from travel agents who want to sell its holidays.
Selected travel agents will be contacted by post, with follow-up calls for training and support on the requirements of the single traveller.
Agents will have access to early booking bonus offers, a dedicated trade telephone number and their own section on the Solo’s website.
Solo’s Holidays has been trading for 27 years and sells UK breaks, activity, ski, golf, sun, special interest and worldwide holidays.
All holidays are ATOL protected and rooms are twin/double-bedded for sole occupancy and free of single supplements.
