The UK tour that is selling like hot cakes for this operator

Escorted tours to Ireland and Scotland are some of the most popular in the Newmarket Holidays’ range and they consistently appear in our agent top sellers. The Highlands of Scotland and west coast of Ireland are proof that you don’t have to travel far to experience incredible, jaw-dropping scenery.

Our newest tour, the Royal Caledonian, was introduced this year when interest in the Royal Family was at its height following the passing of Her Majesty, and so the chance to visit Balmoral, a favourite place of the late

Queen’s, resonated with older travellers.

The seven-day tour, which also packs in the seaside town of Nairn, the Highlands’ cultural capital of Inverness and the stunning scenery of the Cairngorms, has gone from strength-to-strength, so we are adding a host of regional departures in 2024 to give agents alternative departures to London.

GOING SOLO

Solo travel is growing in popularity, so we’ve created a version of our Highlights of the Scottish Highlands tour that is exclusively for singles and will run for the first time from March through to August 2024. We think solo tours are a big opportunity for agents, who are perfectly placed to give older, single travellers the confidence  to book wish-list holidays by highlighting the security and social benefits of travelling in a group. To maximise the opportunity for agents, we’ve also removed single supplements on a number of our UK group tours, including Belfast and the Titanic Experience, Scottish Highland Railways, and Best of the Scottish Highlands.
