Bright outlook for travel agents

Holidaymakers are still jetting off to the sun with the number of overseas trips this year expected to top last year’s figure of 6m.

Despite the sun splitting the stones in Ireland this summer, the Irish Travel Agents’ Association (ITAA) reveals that the majority of its members have not seen a fall in business for the second quarter of 2013 compared with the same period in 2012.

The quarterly survey was conducted by the ITAA to gauge how its members felt the second quarter of the year fared compared with the same period in 2012.
