Yorkshire agent signs up to new Advantage scheme
Yorkshire-based travel agent Destination has become the first Advantage member to sign up to its newly launched Advantage Managed Services.
The agency, based near Keighley in West Yorkshire, will offload its administration and back office functions so it can focus on the sales and marketing of its business.
Advantage said a further two agencies will be joining the scheme over the next few weeks.
Chief executive John McEwan said of the service: “It offers a great low-cost option to start a travel business or an ideal opportunity to cut costs and focus on what independent agents do best – selling the right holiday to each individual customer.â€
