Where travel consultant referrals come from
Most new bookings for a travel consultant come from recommendations. Someone planning a honeymoon, a milestone birthday trip or a company conference wants a name they can trust before they hand over dates and a budget, and they usually ask someone they already know. In a FindaBiz group you sit alongside business owners whose clients ask them exactly that.
Each FindaBiz group keeps one seat per trade, so the Travel Consultant member is the only travel business at the table and gets the group’s travel referrals. FindaBiz Lutterworth already has its travel consultant, and seven other groups still have the seat open. Both are listed below, so this page is also a good place to start if you’re looking for a trusted travel consultant yourself.
Travel Consultants already in our network
Each group holds just one travel consultant, so these are the businesses who own that seat in their group.

Who passes work to a travel consultant
Financial advisers and will writers see clients at turning points like retirement, a pension lump sum or an inheritance. Those conversations often come round to the long trip someone has been putting off for years, and an adviser who can name a reliable travel consultant is doing that client a favour. Accountants and bookkeepers hear similar plans from business owners after a good year.
On the business side, Human Resources and Training & Events members work with companies that send staff to conferences, run away days or reward teams with incentive trips. Those firms need someone to handle flights, hotels and group bookings. Care Provider members meet families arranging holidays for older relatives who need accessible rooms, airport assistance or a gentler itinerary, and that kind of detailed planning is what a travel consultant does.
How the group builds trust in your service
People choose a travel consultant on trust. They want to know you’ll pick up the phone when a flight is cancelled and that the hotel will match its description. Referral partners need the same confidence before they put their name to a recommendation. Between meetings, FindaBiz members meet one to one to learn how each other’s businesses work, so a fellow member can describe the trips you arrange and the clients you suit best.
Meeting regularly also keeps you in mind when it counts. A mortgage adviser who knows your work will think of you when a client mentions a honeymoon after buying their first home.
Visit a group with the seat open
The groups with the Travel Consultant seat open are listed further down, from FindaBiz Coventry East to FindaBiz Sutton Coldfield. You come along as a guest first, and the first visit is free. That gives you a chance to meet the members, see whose clients overlap with yours and decide whether the group suits your business. Because each group has one seat per trade, the first travel consultant to join takes it.
