📣 Start Your Travel Business: How to Market Yourself as a New Travel Agent in the UK

You’re not just selling holidays. You’re selling:

• Time saved

• Stress removed

• Personalised service

• Financial protection

• And a proper human to sort everything out when flights get cancelled

If you want to market yourself as a travel agent in the UK, your messaging needs to reflect this. Don't just post “deals” — show your value.

Instagram is one of the best platforms to promote your travel business — especially for weddings abroad, honeymoons, and family holidays.

How to Set Up a Travel Agent Instagram That Gets Enquiries:

• Use keywords in your name field (e.g. “Travel Agent UK – Honeymoons & Greece Specialist”)

• Make your bio specific (“Helping UK couples book stress-free Santorini weddings”)

• Add a link to your enquiry form or website

• Use a mix of travel offers, tips, Reels, and real-life content

Clients book with people, not logos — so show your face, share your wins, and be consistent.

Don’t panic — you don’t need to point, dance, or mime.
But short-form video content (Reels and TikToks) is non-negotiable for reach.

Reels Content Ideas:

• “3 things to know before booking an all-inclusive”

• “Behind the scenes: how I plan a Rhodes wedding”

• “Truth bomb: travel agents vs online booking”

• “Best resorts for toddlers (you’ll thank me later)”

Reels don’t have to be polished — they just have to be relatable and relevant.

🔥 Our Velocity agents get pre-written Reel scripts and content ideas. Ignite agents can access the basics too inside their training hub.

Instagram brings awareness. But Google brings clients with intent.

If someone types in:

• “Travel agent for Maldives honeymoon UK”

• “Book Rhodes wedding with travel agent”

• “Best family holidays booked by agent”

…you want to show up.

• Set up Google Search Console (included in Medlife training + 1:1 help)

• Optimise your website titles and page descriptions with key terms

• Start blogging weekly to rank for relevant keywords

👉 Try these blog titles:

• “Best Family Resorts in Greece With Waterparks”

• “Do Travel Agents Still Exist in 2025? (Spoiler: Yes)”

• “Why I Use a Travel Agent – A Client’s Story”

You don’t need to hard sell. You just need to make it easy to enquire.

Here’s how:

• Include a CTA in every post (“DM to book” or “Link in bio to get a quote”)

• Use enquiry forms (Velocity agents have funnels pre-built)

• Offer a lead magnet (like a free holiday guide or checklist)

Example:

Download our Free Wedding Abroad Checklist and start planning stress-free.

It builds trust and grows your email list at the same time.

Marketing yourself as a new travel agent doesn’t mean posting 24/7.

Here’s a realistic weekly content plan:

• Mon – Travel deal post (with clear pricing and CTA)

• Tue – Travel tip (packing, airports, visas)

• Wed – Reel or story (something fun, behind-the-scenes)

• Thu – Offer post or blog link

• Fri – FAQ post or myth-buster

• Weekend – Client testimonial, resort feature, or personal post

The key? Be visible. Be human. Be consistent.

Here’s what not to do when trying to get your first clients:

• Posting “anyone want a cheap deal?” in random groups

• Only posting stock photos without showing you

• Forgetting to tell people how to actually book

• Copying what someone with 10k followers is doing

Stay in your lane. Stay consistent. Keep learning.

Marketing doesn’t mean being loud — it means being seen.

Start with clarity, show up consistently, and focus on building trust.
You don’t need a big following. You need the right people to find you, like you, and click book.

You're not just an agent. You're the brand, the boss, the empire.
Time to show up like it.

You’ve got the tools, the training, and the business — now it’s time to put yourself out there and own it. Marketing doesn’t need to be awkward. You just need a strategy that actually works in 2025.
