Excite Holidays has big plans for 2019: launching into Europe, a new booking platform and most importantly, they promise travel advisors will remain their top priority.

In a message from Excite’s co- founders Nic Stavropoulos and George Papaioannou, the pair said 2019 would see them committed to providing advisors with better rates, better product and a better experience.

While reflecting on 2018, they said the year just gone was a huge one for the company.

“We expanded our offering to more than 400,000 hotels and 100,000 activities, we built and launched our own API connection, celebrated the first anniversary of our expansion into the USA, released our first brand video “Where do you want to go” and continued to streamline our platform,” they commented.

“As big as 2018 was, it will pale in comparison to what we have planned for 2019.”

“We will continue to produce industry-leading content for agents, and extend our product offering in ways that we have never done before. Our new product offering is going to be a game changer for agents. Watch this space,” they said.

They commented that all this was driven by an unwavering commitment to their travel advisors across the globe and a thirst for innovation that hasn’t slowed in 17 years of being independently owned and operated.

The pair enthuse that 2019 will be Excite’s year.

“We have always done things differently. We got here by making bold choices, and we will continue to do so into the future,”
they said.

“Everything we do has a reason behind it. Most importantly, we have got your back. You, our agents, are and always have been our number one priority.”
