What We Do

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.

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 Leicester) 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 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.
