Travel Counsellors Australia continues to reap the benefits of the global company’s winning formula, reporting a spectacular 84% increase in sales in the first six months of this year, compared to the same period in 2009.  

The Australian arm of the international business has enjoyed seven out of ten of its best sales days in 2010, and has already smashed its total sales for last year with sales to-date of $23m, compared to a total of $19m as reported on 31 October 2009. Total sales for this year are forecast to be $50m.

Overseeing the company’s Australia division from its head office in Melbourne is acting General Manager Cathy Burke. Burke lends 30 years experience in the travel industry to her colleagues in Australia, and has spearheaded the success of Travel Counsellors Ireland since it’s set up in 2005.

Burke comments; “I know that Travel Counsellors will continue to be a huge success here in Australia and I am delighted to have been given this opportunity to build on what has already been achieved by the team. I’m very much looking forward to working with our head office and Travel Counsellors to build on the expansion they have enjoyed since the successful launch of the business in 2007.”

The company, which operates in seven countries and supports 1,200 home working travel agents worldwide, has seen total group sales increase 32% year so far this year, with international sales increase by 100% on last year. The Company’s agents are also reaping the benefits of these booming sales, with the average income per Travel Counsellor up by over 20% worldwide.
