Inspire My Holiday launches free “Find an…”

New portal is expected to reach more than a million consumers in 2025

Finding a travel agent just got easier with the launch of a new portal from Inspire My Holiday called Find an Agent.

The offer allows consumers to find local travel agents in their next vacation destination.

Customers can filter agents by vacation type, vacation class, agent location and destinations they specialize in. An agent bio can be viewed along with their relevant contact details.

The tool is similar to a traditional store locator, but at the level of individual agents – rather than in a physical store.

The service is expected to reach more than one million consumers by 2025 and will be completely free for consumers and agents – you will not have to pay for registration, any inquiries or bookings.

With the continued growth of the home working sector and a crowded market for retail travel agents, Olly Lomas, founder of Inspire My Holiday, believes this is the perfect opportunity for individuals to get exposure and fill a gap in the market.

Find my Agent’s recent soft launch saw several hundred agents register from groups such as Flight Centre, Travel Counsellors, Advantage, PTS, Hays Travel and The Travel Network Group. Registrations are now open to all agents selling travel to UK consumers.

Commenting on the launch of Find an Agent, Lomas said: “It’s clear that options for individual agents are extremely limited and we wanted to change that.” The feedback and support from business owners has been incredible and we’re excited to launch Find an Agent on the second to introduce Christmas Day, just in time for the peak sales period.”

“We are very proud of our unique search tool, which offers consumers a quick way to find a relevant destination specialist to book their next trip – whether they are an independent travel agent or part of a major travel brand.

“Registering takes less than 10 minutes and doesn’t cost a penny, so it should be a breeze for anyone working in sales,” he added.
