🏆 A lovely one to bring home from the Travel Centres Conference!

We were delighted to pick up the award for Most Improved Sales with Travel Focus at last week’s conference.

More importantly, it reflects something we’ve been seeing a lot more of here at Bernard Hayes Travel — growing demand for tailor-made long-haul trips to destinations such as South Africa, Mauritius and the Maldives.

These are some of our favourite holidays to work on. The best trips often need a bit more thought than simply booking a flight and hotel, and we really enjoy sitting down with clients, talking through what they want from the trip and building an itinerary around it.

A big thank you to everyone involved in the conference. And to our own team for their incredibly hard work and passion to deliver the very best for all of our clients.

If a big long-haul trip is on your mind for 2027, we’d be delighted to help you start putting it together. 🌍✈️

And with direct flights from Cork, getting there is nice and straightforward.
