Easing of international restrictions welcome boost to leading North Wales travel agency

CHANGES TO OVERSEAS TRANSIT RULES has sparked a renewed push of jobs and growth at one award-winning North Wales travel agent. Delmar World, which has been operating in Gresford since 1964, will be adding to its team after experiencing a marked upturn in interest for vacation bookings, following the easing of international travel restrictions.

The family-owned travel business, which was named Small Agency of the Year (North West England and North Wales) at the 2021 Travel Weekly Agent Achievement Awards, has launched a home-working division and has also placed office-based permanent hires back on the radar, to help meet the increased demand in services. The new home-working department will look to help travellers not only find their next holiday, but also guide them through the changing laws mandated by international navigation during a global pandemic.

The agency, which currently employs seven people, has set its sights on expanding past the 14-strong staff the company employed pre-pandemic, with bookings for 2022 already totaling half of its pre-covid yearly targets.

Delmar World managing director Ann Anglesea said: “Customers are wanting to catch up on seeing the world and we’ve had bookings gradually come in for areas further away, which reflects how confidence in travel is returning over time. People are now reaching out to deal with professionals who not only are familiar with the changing rules and regulations of international transit, but also have the personal experience and knowledge when it comes to planning a long-awaited holiday.”
