“Ireland is a great recommenda­tion for clients who are longing to go overseas”

We have seen continuing demand for the UK and more recently a surge in bookings for ireland, which is now on the green list for fully vaccinated clients, with no testing or quarantine requiremen­ts.

Ireland is a great recommenda­tion for clients who are longing to go overseas but still a bit nervous post-Covid. Just crossing the Irish Sea really gets everyone in the holiday mood and Shearings’ escorted coach holidays make the experience seamless, with close pick up points or even a door-to-door ‘Home Connect’ service.

Closer to home

our new Ireland product includes our sixday Wild Atlantic Way, Giant’s Causeway and Donegal tour and our Dublin & the Heart of Ireland tour for Solo Travellers. Agents can also choose from Kilarney and The ring of Kerry, Westport and Wild Connermara, Belfast and Giant’s Causeway or Ireland’s South-east – Waterford and Wexford.

Coastal resorts in Devon and Cornwall such as Torquay, Plymouth, St Ives, St Mawes, Ilfracombe and Newquay are booking fast, as is Bournemout­h, eastbourne, Blackpool, Whitby and the Lake District. I strongly believe that the uK and Ireland will remain just as popular for 2022, and these destinatio­ns are already on sale for 2022 and beyond to 2023.

Shearings has produced point of sale material for agents. We also have a great selection of assets for social media channels. Contact ashley.dellow@ legershear­ings.com or ‘Shearings Trade Team’ on Facebook for more details. We are also increasing our call centre staff to help answer agent queries and have a booking platform online. shearings.com
