G Touring’s brands, Just You and Travelsphere, are off to a stellar start in 2024, with sales figures showing remarkable growth. This uptick positions them for potentially record-breaking trading for the year. The company reported that March was particularly significant, marking the peak of sales performance since before the Covid pandemic. This rise in demand is primarily driven by long-haul destination bookings, which constitute three of the top five destinations sold, highlighting the brands’ strategic focus on expanding their global reach.
The increased sales have been largely attributed to trade activity, where the average order value via trade channels was reported to be nearly 20% higher than direct sales. This comes as travellers are showing a marked preference for guided tours to destinations such as Italy and the United States. Tom Morgan, trade sales director at G Touring, attributed this growth to the diligent efforts of their sales team, emphasizing the importance of strategic leadership in achieving these milestones.
With leadership figures such as Rachel Mould at the helm, alongside new team members like Jason Kemp and Jasmine Moreton, the company is well-positioned to further its ambitious trade plans. These leaders are instrumental in ensuring that agent partners receive the necessary support to drive sales upward. Their coordinated efforts reflect a robust approach to market expansion, aimed at capturing a broader audience for both Travelsphere and Just You.
The brands are witnessing an exponential increase in their customer base, particularly for escorted tours, whether for solo travellers or those journeying with family and friends. As the appetite for such group adventures continues to grow, the brands are steadfast in their mission to craft memorable experiences in some of the world’s most inspiring locations. Morgan’s statements underscore the company’s commitment to providing enriching travel narratives that resonate with a wide spectrum of travellers.
The remarkable sales growth of Just You and Travelsphere heralds a promising year ahead for G Touring’s brands.
