Travel and Tourism
The travel and tourism industry – whether for business or pleasure – has been one of the fastest growing sectors of the past 50 years, and the pace of change over the last decade has been astounding. While increases in fuel prices, travel taxes and other supplies and fees have created their own challenges, the growth in specialist travel and the spread of digital communication plus the internet have also generated significant new opportunities within the sector.
Bird Luckin has a considerable and established client base within the travel and tourism sector. These include specialist holiday companies and tour operators working both in the UK and overseas, hotels, guest houses, holiday parks, and businesses involved in corporate hospitality.
By working closely with these clients we have developed a sound knowledge and understanding of their target customers and audiences, ranging from holidaymakers and business travellers to educational and historical guided tours, conferencing and event hospitality. We also have experience of specialist travel organisations such as ABTA, ATOL and IATA.
In an increasingly competitive climate, we have been able to advise and support our clients in the travel and tourism sectors to plan their business development, maximise their growth potential and increase their profitability.
