Orlando-Based Tourico Holidays Adds Another Major Distribution Partner

Tourico Holidays, a global leader in wholesale travel brokerage, has announced a new distribution partnership with loveholidays, the fastest growing online travel agency in the UK. The London-based travel company will now be able to offer Tourico’s inventory of hotels in the United States and the Caribbean as UK demand for each region grows.

According to data released by Tourico, United Kingdom hotel bookings to the United States surged by more than 10 percent in 2016 compared to the prior year. During that same time, UK bookings to Caribbean countries also significantly increased.

Tourico Holidays has nearly 30,000 hotels contracted in the United States and over 1,000 more in Caribbean countries.

“We’ve seen a healthy demand for transatlantic trips from our customers, and by integrating Tourico’s massive portfolio of U.S. and Caribbean hotels, we’re better positioned for fulfillment,” said Theo Demetriou, the Purchasing Director for loveholidays. “The new partnership will help loveholidays grow incrementally, in a sustainable manner, while continuing to put our customers first.”

loveholidays allows travelers to find and compare holiday trips without having to enter specifics, like dates or destination. The online search platform enables consumers to search by what matters – including by budget, star rating, temperature, and TripAdvisor ratings.

“loveholidays is the perfect example of how a growing travel business can be nimble and resourceful to capitalize on shifts in the marketplace,” said Emma Weber, the Director of Sales in the UK, Ireland, and Scandinavia for TouricoHolidays. “They recognized that UK travelers were seeking U.S. and Caribbean vacations, so they quickly engaged with Tourico, and now they’re delivering thousands of hotel options at prices you can’t find anywhere else.”
