Hollie Hoseasons has been developed in recognition of the increasing role that social media plays within the travel trade.

Head of sales Zena Calderbank said: “Much has been made of how the travel industry has been slow to unlock the power of social media as a means of reaching agents.

“For us, Hollie Hoseasons represents the changing face of travel communications. We fully recognise the potential of reaching out to agents across these two platforms and hope to continue to build on this throughout the year.”

She added: “Facebook is great for building our community, engaging in conversation with agents, answering questions and creating a buzz around competitions, incentives and awards.

“Meanwhile, Hollie’s Twitter account reaches out to all agents and influencers within our trade sector. Twitter also allows us to keep Hollie’s finger on the pulse of the travel market and understand sentiment towards the Hoseasons brand.”
