Specialist walking tour operator Involved Holidays is reinforcing its commitment to the UK travel trade, aiming to grow its presence, enhance agent knowledge, and boost trade sales in 2026.
Following a successful first year of dedicated trade activity, the brand expanded its product range with new solo trip itineraries and additional holiday options across the Spanish Islands. Looking ahead to 2026, Involved Holidays plans further expansion with rail and e-bike options and selected long-haul itineraries.
Supporting travel agents remains a priority, with new incentives, educational opportunities, and FAM trips designed to strengthen relationships and knowledge within the trade sector.
In 2026, Involved Holidays will continue with its plan to boost agent knowledge of its walking holiday options, highlighting the benefits of using a specialist operator, which include access to no single supplement holiday options and competitive commission on all bookings. Richard Forde, Sales Director, Involved Holidays comments: “We have exciting plans to continue spreading the word on our unique style of relaxed walking holidays for solo travellers. The strategic importance of the trade makes the travel agent community a priority and as such we want to continue our endeavour to educate.”
Forde adds: “We have several fantastic additions to our itinerary choices coming, with rail and e-bike options launching in 2026, alongside some fabulous long haul itineraries. The details are under wraps for the moment but we urge agents to watch this space. We will support these developments with various trade focused initiatives that we hope agents will continue to embrace so that they feel confident in selling the product.”
