Property firm joins forces with Bournemouth travel company

Southbourne-based Bournecoast Properties, which has 65 years of managing, selling and letting self-catering properties in Bournemouth, has moved in-house to Not Just Travel. 

Bosses say the deal will “drive innovation and growth” to becoming a “strengthened and united” company. 

Through this partnership, they have been trained as ABTA-protected travel consultants, enabling them to offer clients a complete holiday booking service.  

With access to more than £2 billion in holiday buying power, they can provide an extensive range of travel options at highly competitive rates. 

Des Simmons, managing director, said: “Welcome to Holiday Seekers, your gateway to unforgettable travel experiences.  

“Founded by the same experienced team behind Bournecoast, we bring decades of expertise in the tourism and property management industries to our new international travel agency.” 

He added: “Our three directors bring a wealth of experience in the tourism industry, having successfully operated a family-run property and local holiday company in Bournemouth. 

“Leveraging our extensive knowledge and passion for travel, we have now expanded into international travel, dedicated to helping you discover the ultimate travel experiences. 

“Whether you are seeking a relaxing beach holiday, a cultural adventure, or an exotic getaway, Holiday Seekers is here to make your travel dreams come true." 

As part of the agency’s vision to branch out into international travel, they are poised to “redefine” the holiday sector, by combining the strengths, resources and innovation of both companies to deliver “enhanced solutions, expanded services and unparalleled value”. 

Des added: “From stress-free planning and 24/7 support, through to expert guidance and exclusive perks, Holiday Seekers will act as your ‘one-stop’ shop.  

“With access to over 450+ trusted brands and millions of exclusive holiday options, including deals you can’t find online; coupled with our passion for creating seamless, enriching, and unforgettable travel experiences, we’re your ultimate holiday partner.” 

Steve Witt, co-founder of Not Just Travel, said: “We are thrilled to welcome the Bournecoast Properties team into our family. 

“They are established experts in offering unbeatable customer service, and now can lead the field in providing exceptional holidays abroad to a loyal and expansive client base.”
