We’re constantly looking at our product and pricing to ensure that we remain at the top of our game, so it’s great to see growth in destinations where we already had a strong hold, such as the USA. And to be recognised once again by our travel agent partners by being voted as Best Accommodation Specialist is just brilliant and testament to the hard work by all the team.”
