What is Peaks and why is it key for travel business owners?

For people who have never worked in travel, industry-specific jargon can often mean nothing. You might have heard people talk about Peaks, but what exactly does it mean, and why is it such a golden opportunity for people who want to set up their own travel business?

What is Peaks?

In the travel industry, Peaks is the busiest sales period of the year. It typically runs from late December through to March, when demand for holidays surges. Families plan their summer breaks in a bid to beat the post-Christmas blues, couples look ahead to bucket-list adventures, and travellers everywhere are inspired by fresh starts.

For travel business owners, this means one thing: a surge in bookings and earnings.

Why Peaks matters for travel entrepreneurs

  • More demand = more bookings – With holidaymakers eager to secure their perfect trip, you’ll see a natural uplift in enquiries
  • Higher earnings – More bookings during this period can give your business a significant revenue boost
  • A chance to build long-term loyalty – Many first-time bookers during Peaks become repeat clients, helping you build a strong foundation for your business.

Put simply: Peaks is your prime time to grow.
