Lincolnshire Co-op agents score record bookings at cruise show

Lincolnshire Co-op Travel Group agents achieved a new sales record at this year’s edition of the Lincolnshire Co-op Cruise and Escorted Touring Show.

The inaugural show took place in 2009 and has been held every year except 2021 and 2022 as a result of Covid restrictions.

This year’s event, which welcomed more than 500 people to Lincolnshire Showground’s Epic Centre, resulted in bumper sales for Lincolnshire Co-op Travel Group’s 13 agents in attendance.

Wayne Dennett, manager of Lincolnshire Co-op Travel Group, said he was “over the moon” about the agents’ performance, adding: “It was a really enjoyable experience all-round.”

The event, on Sunday, January 14, hosted 21 suppliers whose representatives were able to sit down with customers to offer their inside knowledge on cruise and touring.

Presentations were also given in the ‘Meet the Experts Theatre’, and a pre-recorded webinar was produced by P&O Cruises.

A pop-up booking area was staffed by Lincolnshire Co-op Travel Group throughout the day.

A wide range of cruises and tours were booked, with Mediterranean and Caribbean cruises proving most popular.
