Conversion Tips:
Start of a new year, January is the busiest month of the year for customers purchasing holidays. Over 35% of all Panorama bookings are made in January alone. Panorama Holidays is a mainly a “Package Holiday” site, specialising in holidays to Tunisia and North Africa, the canaries and Ski Holidays. If you wish to promote flight only, I suggest you use
www.mytravel.com – where over 55% of bookings are flights (all panorama flight routes are available on MT).
Bookings in January have a higher retail value – as the majority of the bookings are brochure priced holidays for the coming summer – encouraged by the free child places and early booking offers. Late deals are in force however, and some of the best Ski bargains around can be found with Panorama in January.
The top 5 departure airports in Jan are as follows:
1/Gatwick (28.3%) 2/Manchester (20%) 3/Birmingham (12.3%) 4/Glasgow (6.3%) 5/Bristol (4.5%)
NB: 75% of bookings are for the coming summer, 23% for the current winter season and 2% for the following winter.

Incentives
• Package Holidays – Extra 2% commission. All destinations and seasons.
Rules and regs: Payable throughout the month of January. Offers can be withdrawn without notice. Commission applicable to bookings made via
www.panoramaholidays.co.uk
Enhanced Content:
The enhanced content project – stage 2, has been further delayed into January. The next stage of this is to include resort level landing pages, complete with hotel offerings and friendly urls. I’ll up-date all in Jan to let you know the new date for release. All new landing pages will redirect from old, so no need to panic about changing them over. I will obviously communicate a full list of the new ones as and when they are ready. Unfortunately, the only landing pages in force for Panorama UK are the travel Guides. Once enhanced content stage 2 is live – they will have a full range of landing pages complete with booking engine.
Features Pages (helpful info).
