<strong>Selling</strong> <strong>Travel</strong> was joined by<br />
VisitGuernsey and leading tour<br />
operators Airways Holidays, Premier<br />
Holidays and Prestige Holidays,<br />
who were on hand to answer trade<br />
questions about the island and offer<br />
three agents a chance to visit<br />
Guernsey themselves.<br />
Speaking at the Leeds event, Michelle<br />
Harriman from Worldchoice said:<br />
“Guernsey is proving increasingly<br />
popular with clients of mine, I actually<br />
had two recent enquiries within two<br />
days and sold a two-week holiday<br />
costing £3,169 just the other day! I find<br />
Guernsey a good recommendation for<br />
clients interested in history or walking.”<br />
Wendy Pedder, VisitGuernsey, added:<br />
“It was great to see so many agents at<br />
our events. The informal format gave<br />
us the chance to answer the agents’<br />
questions and get a real conversation<br />
going about our destination.”<br />
