Not Just Travel sees sales 'boom' with partner Virgin Voyages

Virgin Voyages, based in Florida, announced Not Just Travel as being a top seller of holidays on the sea. 

Not Just Travel’s sales with Virgin Voyages, with whom the Bournemouth agency works closely, have increased by 400 per cent over the past 12 months.  

Based near Bournemouth airport, Not Just Travel is also enjoying the benefits of an increased focus in the past year due to the launch of its Cruise Division, Cruise Mastery Programme and training.

Chris Harrison, chief commercial officer at Not Just Travel, said: “Since Seminar at Sea in June, the passion of the consultants for the Virgin Voyages brand has converted into strong sales.  

“Having Virgin Voyages as an active, engaging and highly motivated key cruise partner has created a bountiful relationship that culminates in incredible sales.  

“Prior to the launch of the cruise division last September, our cruise sales were average; as a business, we had not yet seized the full potential of the cruise market.  

“Our consultants simply didn’t know how to sell cruises. Now we have a passionate team of cruise-hungry consultants who are confident and expert.  

Chris added: “We have experienced exponential turnover growth in all cruise sales within a year, and soon, the cruise will encompass a third of all sales by attracting new and repeat customers.  

“Our business strategy works for our consultants, our key trade partners and our members. We have formidable plans to expand our cruise sales even further.  

“This is the dawn of a cruise boom.” 

SJ Walker, director of sales at Virgin Voyages, said: “Becoming a key cruise partner with Not Just Travel has resulted in a substantial boost to our business.  

“As one of our top performing partners, Not Just Travel and their consultants have impressed us all since the launch of our UK departure voyages.”
