travel queries they may have.
Since being established in early 2015 Cumbria Travel have grown year on year and say
they are seeing a welcome return in regular custom following the peak of the Coronavirus
pandemic.
When booking holidays, customers have been looking for more support from travel agencies
due to the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic. With an array of industry experience,
Tricia, Leanne and their teams across the county are ready to help with customers new
and existing.
Leanne co-director of the travel firm said: “We were delighted to be able to re-open all of
the Cumbria Travel locations this week. After having most of our team homeworking since
23 March it was lovely to see them returning to their stores.
“For us it was so important to be able to offer our customers a continuous service throughout
all of this, as we were aware there were customers out there booked with other Travel
companies who were struggling to speak to anyone.
“As local girls, running a locally owned company we understand the importance of
community and continued to provide our customers with the best possible service from day
one of lockdown.
Leanne continued: “We believe this is why we have seen a growth in sales for 2021 and
even 2022 throughout this period and with an update on Foreign Office Advice due any time
we expect to see the same surge of last-minute sales for 2020.
“We have lots of customers eager to book and take advantage of some of the best prices
we have seen in years, people have really got behind the #SupportLocal Campaign they
want to shop local and keep their money in the local community which is such a positive
for us and we honestly can’t thank our customers enough for their continued support,
it really does mean everything.”

“...we understand
the importance
of community and
continued to provide
our customers with
the best possible
service from day
one of lockdown.”

The Cumbrian agency recently received news that they had been awarded a prestigious
travel industry award by being named by the TTG (Travel Trade Gazette) in their Top 50 UK
Travel Agents.

Tricia was extremely proud of the highly regarded award and said: “We were overwhelmed
to be named runner up in the North West Category , this is a huge travel award with agents
from all over the UK competing to make the Top 50 list and a team of industry experts acting
as judges scoring us on service, appearance, community, marketing and much more.

“Further to this our Dunmail Park shop was named the runner up for the 2nd year running
for North West England and we were the only agent in Cumbria to make the final with
our Carlisle shop also reaching the Final 5 for The North West, to say we are proud is
an understatement”.

During lockdown, Cumbria Travel also learned that they are a finalist for the County Brides
2020 North West Wedding Awards in the Travel Agent category: “This is even more special
as its voted for by our customers who have experienced our services whether that be
arranging their wedding, honeymoon or even
hen and stag parties. Where to find us

“We will find out on 9th September if we have
won, so fingers crossed, but we are still just as
delighted for the nomination”

With offices now open in Whitehaven, Dunmail Cumbria Travel
Park, Workington and Carlisle the company
have re-opened with precautions in place and
limiting the number of people in each of the
offices. For any travel guidance and advice
