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

ashley Dellow, Head of retail Sales, Shearings

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.
