Thursday, Oct 10, 2024 0

Homeworking giant InteleTravel is projecting sales for the calendar year 2024 will reach £143m in the UK and Ireland – up 70% on 2023.

President and founder James Ferrara will reveal the phenomenal growth in his keynote speech at the InteleTravel Quest (ITQ) conference in Sorrento tomorrow (Friday).

Last year, InteleTravel in the UK and Ireland achieved sales of £85m and the business has already comfortably surpassed this number, with £95m of sales achieved in 2024 by the end of August.

The UK is outperforming its main market, the US, which is projected to have a growth of 36% in the calendar year 2024.

Cruising is now making up 17% of sales in the UK and Ireland after a deliberate strategy to increase turnover in this market.

Virgin Voyages recently named InteleTravel as its Homeworking Agency of the Year and sales manager Jack Atherton said: “InteleTravel has shown consistent growth not only in their sales delivery but in the breadth of individuals within their membership who have successfully made VV bookings in the past year. We are thrilled to have them onboard as one of our trusted First Mates.”

James Ferrara said: “We clearly have touched a. nerve in the UK and Ireland. There is something that resonates with our model.

“Training in conjunction with the partners and our technology is making the difference for us. We have had a real focus on cruising in the UK, it brings a high percentage of repeat passengers. Cruising is so important in the US and we knew there was a huge opportunity in the UK when we came to this market.”

James Ferrara will reveal other record figures at the conference and there will be a presentation on its ground-breaking AI developments.
