Who We Are
Samphire Travel Consulting offers our clients a personal presence in the UK tourism market. In this age of technology face-to-face meetings and the personal touch are of utmost importance, and we strive to be a friendly and approachable asset to our clients’ business.
UK Sales and Marketing Representation Services
We have a comprehensive database of UK tour operators and some travel agents, with whom we raise the profile of the products that we represent, increasing sales from the UK (and France, on request).
Our UK-based offices (in London and Wales) provide a full sales and marketing service throughout the UK, depending on the needs of the client company. From the initial meeting we keep our clients at the forefront of industry minds, and help to develop new connections into long-term partners. We have over twenty-five years’ experience within the UK tourism trade, from successfully launching new products to maintaining decade-long relationships. Samphire Travel Consulting uses this excellent market knowledge to keep clients updated with industry trends, with a finger on the pulse of a fast-moving world. Above all we strive to be a voice that our industry colleagues can rely on to be straight-talking and dependable.
Travel Trade Shows & Workshops
We represent our clients at trade exhibitions, consumer shows, road shows and travel agent workshops. These events offer face-to-face networking with our industry peers, keeping updated on trends and maintaining important relationships for our clients.
Marketing & Representation
Our London and Wales offices are in regular touch with tour operators and travel agents by email and phone, and we can send out brochures and rates. We also provide an e-mailshot service on request, and hold frequent online meetings and webinars.
Agency Sales Calls & Training
We visit tour operators and agents for product meetings and training. We foster existing relationships, build new connections and keep our clients’ brands fresh and alive. We often take operators for lunch, dinner or drinks, if they prefer a less formal environment, or just want a friendly catch-up.
Educational Trips & Clients Visits
We assist our clients to recruit tour operators, agents and journalists for familiarisation trips to visit their products. These can be organised by us on request. We organise sales trips for our clients if they wish to visit the UK personally, and accompany them on request, including hosted lunches or dinners for our top tour operators.
Marketing Strategies & Research
We provide analysis and consultancy with international sales/marketing strategies for our clients. We are in frequent email and phone contact with our clients and send regular reports.
Networking & Relationships
Although most of our contacts are in the leisure industry, we also have some relationships in the MICE world, and can visit this type of company where relevant. We liaise with airlines, tourism authorities and journalists on behalf of our clients, representing them at industry functions and networking events.
