Whether you’re a travel enthusiast, an aspiring business owner, or just someone who loves a good story, this podcast serves up travel inspiration with a generous helping of personality.
This upcoming episode takes a deep dive into the heart of The Holiday Village. Paula, our Managing Director, and Amanda, our Business Development Manager, share their journey – from how they met to how they’ve built a warm, supportive home for almost 100 independent travel business owners. You’ll hear about the challenges, the triumphs, and even a few hilarious behind-the-scenes stories that have never been told before.
What Makes The Holiday Village So Special?
The Holiday Village is a unique part of the Travel Village Group family. It’s more than just a place to book a holiday – it’s a thriving community where independent travel agents are supported every step of the way. Paula, Amanda and the team work tirelessly to make sure every business owner feels part of something special, offering guidance in areas like marketing, customer care, finance, training, and more. It’s a family-run business with a family-first ethos, where checking in with someone over a cuppa is just as important as solving a last-minute booking issue.
This episode is also a celebration of the people behind the bookings – the business owners who come from all walks of life and bring with them incredible stories, passion, and drive. If you’ve been following our blog, you’ll already know about some of these journeys – and this episode promises even more insight into what makes this community so unique.
