TTC Tour Brands is reporting strong, continued momentum in last-minute travel demand, revealing an 11% year-over-year increase in July bookings across Trafalgar, Insight Vacations, Costsaver and Contiki brands
The surge reflects growing consumer appetite for guided holidays across late summer, autumn and the upcoming festive season, with travellers increasingly prioritising the certainty, convenience and value that touring provides.
The robust results also highlight the early success of TTC Tour Brands’ recently launched ‘Tour Fest’ incentive, designed to help travel agents capitalise on this demand while unlocking substantial rewards.
Crucially for agents, the company is backing this surge with 100% definite departures across its entire touring portfolio through October, giving agents absolute confidence that their clients’ trips are guaranteed.
“Tour Fest is our way of helping agents maximise this window – providing exceptional client offers of up to 15%, dedicated sales team support, and generous rewards for driving bookings now while building their remaining pipeline for late 2026 and into 2027,” said Andrew Young. Senior Vice President, TTC Tour Brands Oceania.
Running until August 31, the incentive rewards agents for each passenger booked on eligible 2026 and 2027 departures. Cumulative bookings can unlock up to $2,500 in GiftPay cards or $5,000 in TTC Tour Brands travel credit.
Agents must quote TOURFEST26 when booking to qualify. Campaign details, booking support and marketing resources are available through the travel agent portal.
