InteleTravel Ireland appoints first Ambassador

Saturday, 19 Jul, 2024 0

InteleTravel has appointed advisor Dee Shahzad as its first Ireland based Ambassador.

It’s a natural progression as its business in Ireland reports record bookings for June and soaring revenues.

She has over 20 years’ experience in the travel industry.

Her new role will include mentoring other travel advisors, supporting training initiatives and co-present at InteleTravel events.

The route to becoming an Ambassador took over a year for Dee, completing various training modules and presenting skills.

“I want to help other advisors succeed.  If I knew the answer to a question or problem I just couldn’t sit back and watch an advisor struggle. There’s nothing more empowering than helping others,” Shahzad said.

“I took the role because I have experience and knowledge and I’m looking forward to representing Ireland at the annual conference in Sorrento in October.”

InteleTravel now has over 700 Ireland based advisors.

June revenues rose 57% compared with the same period last year and the average booking value rose by 23% to €1,202. The top booking value from an advisor in June was €64,700 for a holiday to Disneyland Paris.

Overall, revenues for 2024 are up 75% so far.

UK and Ireland MD Tricia Handley-Hughes is delighted with the progress in Ireland.

“We always knew there was a demand in Ireland, but this has exceeded our expectations. Our partners are delighted with our progress.”
