Holiday Webtech launches free Jet2holidays widget

There is no set-up or monthly fees, just a “small charge” when a booking is made

Holiday Webtech is offering agents the chance to install a Jet2holidays search-and-book widget for free.

The Newcastle-based provider of search-and-book technology for the travel industry said there is no set-up or monthly fees, just a “small charge” when a booking is made.

Martin Jones, chief executive, said: “We see this release as an opportunity for every travel agent, branch and homeworker to have their own, high-quality search-and-book journey for Jet2holidays, the UK’s largest tour operator, but without the commitment and cost associated historically.

“We want to help travel agents to provide an online service that compliments their personal service and generates additional bookings and enquiries.

“The majority of travel agents, including homeworkers, have an online presence via a website or Facebook and Instagram.

“Our technology allows the Jet2 holidays search-and-book widget to be placed on an existing website or added to your Facebook and Instagram bio.

“You can choose from five colour themes and add your logo and business details.

“The only cost is a booking fee when a successful booking is made.”

He said Holiday Webtech can set up the new technology “really quickly” and agents who sign up can expect to have it in place before the January peaks.

“Providing this service will mean that every travel agent, branch or homeworker will be able to have the technology that historically was unaffordable,” he said.
